#Georges Batroc ~ Batroc the Leaper

[justdealingwithsomeissues]

CapBones takes out his second threat, only to get blindsided by this third.. Sumo... yes his name is just Sumo... who we last saw in a 1965 Tales of Suspense book...

(Note: This is Captain America disguised as Crossbones) Oh good, we get to watch Cap kick the shit out of Patsy Walker's abusive ex-husband. Sometimes comic books are VERY good to us. Captain America 411.

[but-a-humble-goon]

My primary takeaway having now read both Gwenpool and Black Cat is that we do not deserve Batroc the Leaper. I would die for him.

A little warm-up painting I did the first day of Tucson Comic-Con. The weekend got off to a rough start, but I looked to Georges Batroc for strength and encouragement, hon hon hon…

Captain America #4 (1998)

One of the hotels Steve stops at during his road trip across America mentions a local vineyard doing a wine-tasting event. It's not really his thing, but decides to give it a go. He meets an interesting guy there, Georges Batroc, who is also traveling.

Nightmares: they seem to strike Steve Rogers often!

Oh hey, it's time to finally talk about Batroc and punch-clock villains. Batroc ze Leapair returns for the final episode. But he's a serious bad guy now, rather than disposable muscle. He's here to get revenge against Sam for thwarting his evil plans in the first episode.

The fight is actually pretty cool. I can forgive him going full Revenge Villain because at the end of the day, he's still kinda acting in a punch-clock villain capacity. He ties up Sam for a bit while Karli's executing her plans, but then Sam overcomes him and gets away to go pursue the real menace.

If that were the last we see of him, I'd be totally fine with Batroc's handling in this show.

But then he shows up out of nowhere during a standoff between Sharon and Karli, so that he can betray both of them and get shot. He's onscreen for like a minute just so he can die and remove one of the very few punch-clock villains in the MCU from the character roster.

So that sucks.

I remember watching falcon and the winter soldier, and somehow missed one of the smaller antagonist's names. Some guy who was helping the Flag-Smashers, but only for his own agenda. All I know about him was that he was French and he was bad. And hysterically I thought to myself "Is that Batroc?" and then told myself that that was very rude. Just because a Marvel villain is French and has facial hair doesn't make him Batroc the Leaper. AND THEN HE WAS.

Batroc gets his own 8 pagers... and they drew him with a terrifying face there...

[nitpickrider]

Keeping him alive to tell people how you made off with the loot is good for business. Also superheroes tend to get nosier when they're tracking a murderer than just a thief.

Batroc the Leaper - Pony Town 

[jojoseames]

It's the 4th of July! That means it's time to celebrate two things: first, the invention of the Caesar salad (100 years this year! Gracias to Chef Caesar Cardini!) And second, we celebrate the personal birthday of wonderful fictional superhero Steve Rogers, Captain America! (He first appeared in December of 1940! Thank you to Joe Simon and Jack Kirby!)

As is my tradition, I have done a new piece of art of ol' Steve to mark his birthday. And because 2024 continues to be the Year of Batroc, wherein we (well, I) look to him for strength and inspiration, of course I had to depict a moment of glorious battle between cher capitaine and the Leaper. I think they're having a nice time.

Joyeaux anniversaire, Steve!
