Trivia

Lash often references Bebop in his dialogue, hinting at a rivalry between the two. They share another connection as the only two heroes that start the game with sprint speed, Lash and Bebop having 1m/s and 3m/s respectively.
Lash used to fight with uppercuts, but he stopped when Bebop started doing the move.
Lash is voiced by Andrew Bowen, who also voices Johnny Cage in the Mortal Kombat franchise.
