* Creepy Electro-Whip Guy (yes, [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep that is actually what he's called]]) uses an electrified whip to torture the titular ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt'' during the prologue mission. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't realize that his prisoner wields ShockAndAwe powers until ''after'' Gunvolt recharges his energy from Creepy Electro-Whip Guy's "interrogation".

%%* ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'': The series is no stranger to whips, and ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaBloodlines '' includes the ability to turn one into a "lightning whip".%%ZCE. What does this mean?

* ''VideoGame/Dota2'': Razor wields a lightning whip as his WeaponOfChoice. As a warden of the Underscape, he hurt those to make them move quicker to the other side.

* Lumiya in ‘’Franchise/StarWarsLegends favors a lightwhip, a whip designed from a lightsaber and similar in use. But since the whip part is made of energy, they’re harder to handle than lightsabers and more dangerous.

If they are not magical or integrated into PowerArmor or a {{Mecha}}, they'll usually have the battery in the handle, which will be the only thing safe to touch. Likely to overlap with VariableLengthChain, especially in type 2 since the lack of a physical chain makes it easier for it to change lengths, though type 1 may be {{Handwaved}} the same way as any other VariableLengthChain.

** ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Cassie Sandsmark's]] Lasso can channel Zeus's lightning.

** Constrictor, a recurring minor Franchise/{{Marvel|Universe}} villain, can extend cables made of either adamantium or vibranium (depending on the story) from the arms of his suit that are electrified and deliver powerful shocks upon hitting their targets. In one particular instance, after hitting ComicBook/LukeCage with shocks that would have knocked out a normal person but only irritated Cage, Constrictor dealt Cage a shock that he claimed nearly felled ComicBook/{{the Incredible Hulk}} (referencing an earlier fight between the two).

*** Marco Scarlotti was an enforcer for the [[TheMafia Maggia]] who used deadly whips, one of which was electrified.

** ''ComicBook/XFactor2006'': In Issue #218, ComicBook/BlackCat uses grappling hooks to deliver an electric charge to Rococo. Rococo isn't affected much by it but it turns out that this was a distraction to put a tracking device on her.

* ''Film/IronMan2'': The villain Ivan Vanko, one of the incarnations of Whiplash, uses both an exoskeleton and a suit of PowerArmor that have whips with enough electricity flowing through them to cut through cars like butter. His Father, Anton Vanko, is not the Anton Vanko who became Whiplash in the books, but is instead based on the Ivan Vanko who was the first Crimson Dynamo before his HeelFaceTurn and HeroicSacrifice in the comics, except [[{{Dissimile}} for the Crimson Dynamo, Heel Face Turn, and Heroic Sacrifice bits.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'': Aqualad can do this channeling electricity through a [[MakingASplash water whip.]]

* ''Series/Supergirl2015'': Livewire uses her ShockAndAwe powers to create whips made of electricity during her second fight against Supergirl in the episode "[[Recap/Supergirl2015S1E5Livewire Livewire]]".
