You can help by adding to it. ( March 2013 ) Batroc, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, first appeared in Tales of Suspense # 75 in March 1966. He has reappeared in various Marvel titles ever since. Sporting a new costume designed by John Romita, Jr., Batroc served as Klaw 's top lieutenant in the first arc of the 2005 re-launch of Reginald Hudlin 's Black Panther. Fictional character biography Georges Batroc was born in Marseille, France, and served in the French Foreign Legion. He is a French costumed mercenary who specializes in savate ( also known as `` La Boxe Française '' ), a form of kickboxing, with acrobatic skills and articulate unusual flexibility. Although he has primarily appeared in the pages of Captain America, he has also faced off against the Punisher, Spider - Man, Deadpool, Hawkeye, Iron Fist and Gambit. Batroc has occasionally led his own team `` Batroc 's Brigade '' although membership has changed over time. The group has primarily fought Captain America. In the character 's first appearance, he was hired by Them to steal the Inferno - 42 cylinder. He first battled Captain America during this mission. When Batroc introduced himself with typical bluster, Cap revealed, to Batroc 's delight, that he had already heard of the mercenary : `` Batroc the Leaper, eh ? A master of la savate, the French art of boxing with the feet ! '' Later, he was again hired by Hydra and abducted Sharon Carter for them. He lured Captain America into a rematch, in which he insisted Hydra not intervene, and again lost ; however, when Hydra agents prepared to kill both Cap and himself, Batroc, incensed at such `` men wizout honair, '' switched sides to help Cap against Hydra. In both of these stories, Batroc was regarded as a deadly combatant, his skill respected by enemies and employers alike. Batroc was then hired by a foreign power to locate a `` seismo - bomb '' with the first known Batroc 's Brigade ( consisting of the original Swordsman and the Living Laser ). Batroc battled Captain America again. The Machinesmith 's Baron Strucker android known as `` the Hood '' then hired a new Batroc 's Brigade ( consisting of Porcupine and Whirlwind ) to battle Captain America. Batroc then formed a third Batroc 's Brigade, which consisted of various unnamed henchmen rather than known supervillains since supervillains had failed Batroc in the past. The alien Jakar, concealing his true nature and intent, hired this group to abduct children from New York and to battle Captain America and Falcon. Although Batroc felt no compunction about abducting children, upon learning Jakar 's true nature and his intent to use the children 's souls to revive his comatose race, he felt his `` sense of honair '' had been violated by the deception, and he again switched sides, aiding Captain America and the Falcon to rescue the children. Ward Meachum then hired Batroc 's Brigade, who battled Iron Fist and a ninja warrior, several Brigade members dying in the process. For a while after that, Batroc operated without a Brigade. Alongside an extra-dimensional demon ally, Batroc attempted a theft of transuranium, but was stopped by Captain America and Spider - Man. Batroc was also a member of the ersatz `` Defenders '', a group of villains who were impersonating the actual Defenders. They committed robberies while posing as members of the Defenders, until stopped by a Defenders contingent. Alongside Mister Hyde, Batroc attempted an extortion scheme against Manhattan. He battled Captain America, but when Mister Hyde decided to carry out the threat, which would kill thousands, Batroc, again showing that there were some lines he would not cross, aided Captain America against Hyde, saving the city. Batroc then formed a new, longer - lasting lineup of Batroc 's Brigade - this one consisting of Zaran the Weapons Master and Machete. This team was first seen when Obadiah Stane contracted them to steal Captain America 's shield and Batroc finally succeeded. Trick Shot then hired Batroc 's Brigade to battle Hawkeye. Baron Helmut Zemo then hired Batroc 's Brigade to acquire the fragments of the Bloodstone. They battled Captain America and Diamondback. The brigade was later hired by Maelstrom to help him build a device that could destroy the universe and battled the Great Lakes Avengers. Alongside Snakebite, Batroc also battled the Punisher. Later, Batroc the Leaper showed up as member of a small army of villains organized by Klaw to invade Wakanda, which included Rhino, Radioactive Man, the Cannibal, and the villainous Black Knight. He was defeated by Black Panther 's royal bodyguards. During the crossover JLA / Avengers, Batroc briefly confronted Batman when he was one of the villains recruited by Krona for his army. The Dark Knight defeated him ( off - panel ). Batroc 's Brigade then face Batman, but he is assisted by Black Panther, Huntress and Black Widow, in defeating the Brigade. Batroc has a daughter who is teamed in villainy with the daughter of similar B - list supervillain Tarantula. Both daughters take their fathers ' respective costumes and titles. Taskmaster expresses his shock that Tarantula and Batroc are heterosexual before soundly beating the two villains ' offspring, tossing them effortlessly off of a building, noting that he also `` hates ethnic stereotypes. '' Batroc briefly served among the group of villains forcibly drafted into Baron Zemo 's Thunderbolts army. But after returning to federal custody, Batroc registered with the Superhuman Registration Act, and was sent to a superhuman training facility located at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia to train recruits in martial arts before being transferred over to Camp Hammond. Ultimately, however, Batroc found government work unsatisfactory and returned to his mercenary life, confronting the new Captain America while on a job to steal an item from the United Nations. Also, he was working with The Man with No Face, a mysterious being from Captain America 's past. It is soon revealed that Batroc was stealing the original Human Torch 's remains for reverse engineering. Batroc and a handful of other super individuals were corralled into working for M.O.D.O.K. against their wishes. He was fine with it figuring on earning some money until MODOK killed him. There he met Gwen Poole AKA Gwenpool who killed their team 's assassin and took credit for his kills, earning her an unwanted place on the team. Finding out that she has no powers and only killed the assassin through luck he was going to turn her in until she convinced him that she really might be from another universe and know useful information. He then decided to make her less of a liability by teaching her actual combat moves and the use of weapons. She subsequently defeated MODOK when he found out her secret and took over the team briefly. After a fight with some aliens in which they did not get paid the group broke up. During the Secret Empire storyline, Batroc the Leaper appears as a member of the Army of Evil. He alongside Living Laser and Whirlwind attack a haggard, bearded man in torn World War II army uniform who identifies himself as Steve Rogers. He is assisted by people that appear to be Sam Wilson and a Bucky Barnes with both his arms. Powers and abilities Batroc the Leaper has no superhuman abilities, but is in peak physical condition in every respect. He is an Olympic - level weightlifter and has extraordinary agility and reflexes. His leg muscles are particularly well developed, enabling him to leap great distances equal to an Olympic athlete. He is an expert martial artist and hand - to - hand combatant who specializes in Savate ( French - style kickboxing ), although he is also adept at other martial arts such as Krav Maga. He is also skilled in Parkour. He is also a skilled military tactician, having formerly been in the French Foreign Legion. Batroc is also an experienced thief and smuggler, and can speak both French and English. Although, as a mercenary, he does not hesitate to perform any number of criminal acts for his clients, Batroc has a strong sense of honor ; he will turn against any client who he feels has unfairly deceived him into committing crimes to which he might not otherwise have agreed.
