Lash's powers and abilities
Inhuman Physiology: Andrew Garner was an Inhuman who achieved his genetic potential after undergoing Terrigenesis during the Inhuman Outbreak and gained superhuman powers. The transformation changed him physically, turning him into a terrifying beast nicknamed Lash with a long mane growing from his scalp down to his upper back. He originally was able to switch between Lash and Garner, but after completing his transition, he was turned permanently into Lash.
Superhuman Strength: As Lash, Garner had superhuman strength, being able to accomplish feats of strength. He managed to easily throw
Werner von Strucker across a room with little effort.
Superhuman Durability: As Lash, Garner was able to withstand various forms of attack, such as
Daisy Johnson's vibration blasts, or
Lincoln Campbell's energy currents, without suffering serious wounds. He could easily withstand multiple gunshots; bullets penetrated his skin, but they did not seem to slow him down. However, this was not sufficient to survive
Hellfire's fire-imbued chain.
Superhuman Speed: When transformed into Lash, he was able to run past several ATCU guards, easily catching up to all of them, making up for a considerable distance.
Superhuman Stamina: Lash was able to battle Hive for a long time without tiring.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Lash was able to recover from wounds in a matter of seconds to minutes, such as the ones from when he was shot multiple times in the chest by the ATCU in Culver University, and the bullets shot by
Melinda May while in his human form, that only triggered an immediate transformation.
Energy Blast: Lash was able to generate a form of superheated blue energy that was hot enough to incinerate durable materials like metal. This was displayed significantly during his battle with Daisy Johnson, Lincoln Campbell, and
Alphonso Mackenzie, in which he utilized his energy to incinerate holes in the hospital walls to provide an escape route. The energy could also be channeled into concussive blasts with enough explosive power to blast a hole in a person's chest; this was his primary method of executing his victims.
Internal Bodily Cleansing: Less lethally, this energy was also capable of freeing an Inhuman infected by
Hive by drawing his parasites out of the victim and destroying them, though Lash was only able to free Daisy Johnson before his death. Lash himself could not be infected by Hive, as the stream of parasites simply disintegrated the second they touched Lash's energy, rendering them useless. Through this parasite removal, Lash gave Inhumans immunity to Hive's infection, as shown when Hive was unable to use his parasites to reinfect the cured Daisy Johnson.
