Whiplash is the [[stereotypical]] [[villain]] in the style of stock characters found in [[silent movie]]s and earlier stage [[melodrama]], wearing black clothing and a [[top hat]] and with a [[handlebar moustache]]. Whiplash's henchman, Homer, usually wears a [[tuque]]. In the cartoon's opening segments, Whiplash is seen tying [[Nell Fenwick]] to a railroad track. He is the [[antithesis]] of Do-Right, who is the archetype of goodness and a [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police]]man (RCMP). On one occasion Whiplash and Do-Right changed hats; Do-Right became the criminal supervillain who actually succeeds at crime and Whiplash became the RCMP hero for capturing the evil Do-Right. |

Snidely Whiplash is a fictional character who originally appeared in the Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties segments of the animated television series The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. He is the archenemy of Dudley Do-Right.[1]
The character was voiced by Hans Conried in the original cartoon series. Alfred Molina played Whiplash in the 1999 live-action film version Dudley Do-Right.[1]
Whiplash is the stereotypical villain in the style of stock characters found in silent movies and earlier stage melodrama, wearing black clothing and a top hat and with a handlebar moustache. Whiplash's henchman, Homer, usually wears a tuque. In the cartoon's opening segments, Whiplash is seen tying Nell Fenwick to a railroad track. He is the antithesis of Do-Right, who is the archetype of goodness and a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman (RCMP). On one occasion, typical of producer Jay Ward's sense of humor, Whiplash and Do-Right changed hats; Do-Right became the criminal supervillain who actually succeeds at crime and Whiplash became the RCMP hero for capturing the evil Do-Right.
Note
The scene of Nell being tied to railroad tracks is an old running gag - Gloria Swanson was featured in a similar scene in a 1917 movie short.
