History
"'Come on Captain, when was the last time you had a real fight, without all the fancy bells and whistles. Without the Shield? That's right...just you and me now Cap, give it your best shot.'"Georges Batroc was a French mercenary and special operations commando born in Marseille in 1980. The son of ex-revolutionaries and Marxists, Batroc rejected a radical upbringing from an early age, and joined the French Foreign Legions at age 16. Their he gained the nom de guerre "The Leaper" for his excellent hand-to-hand combat style which combined the French boxing art Savate as well as Parkour. However, Batroc responded to crisis moments with lethal force to quickly, eventually leading to his demobilization and dismissal from the French foreign service.

He became a mercenary and considered one of the most dangerous men alive to SHIELD agents. Batroc had been known to operate mostly in the South China Sea, working for criminal organizations such as The Hand and the Ten Rings, before striking out on his own in piracy in the Indian Ocean. He was eventually hired by parties unknown to capture and ransom the Lumerian Star, a satellite launching ship belonging to SHIELD. On this ship, unknown to Batroc, was the algorithim developed by Dr. Arnim Zola for HYDRA's Project Insight, as well as HYDRA sleeper agent Jasper Sitwell. Batroc's team was eventually confronted by STRIKE, led by Captain America and Brock Rumlow. Batroc's men were quickly taken out by the STRIKE team and the Black Widow, while Batroc himself went toe to toe with Captain America, holding his own for a brief while before Rogers was able to hold him down. It appeared as if Batroc was going to inform Rogers of who hired him, but he was killed by Rumlow before he could divulge anymore details.
