Georges Batroc the Leaper
Georges Batroc the Leaper is a French mercenary and master of savate, a form of kick-boxing. He is often depicted as an adversary of Captain America, and has also been a mentor to Gwen Poole. Batroc's name is derived from the word "batrachia", a classification of amphibians that includes frogs, which also plays on the stereotype of calling French people frogs. The character was played by Georges St-Pierre in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) and the Disney+ miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and animated series What If…? (both 2021).
