Background

Grant Morrison in Anarchy For The Masses:

"The King Mob character was based on... DC had an old character called The Whip
from the '40s. No one had ever touched it; I found it and thought that was great, I
can do this real kind of S&M superhero. The Whip is basically King Mob. The original
designs for that, I just had this character who was bald and based on the fetish stuff
at the time, which again was established in the underground and magazines like Skin Two."

The Whip, of course, narrates Morrison's Seven Soldiers crossover series.
