Batroc isn't nasty, per se - he's more awesome. The French master of the martial art known as savate is a mercenary to the core, hiring his foot-boxing services out to the highest bidder. This brings him up against the Star-Spangled Avenger more often than not, The Leaper has some respect for his frequent foe, as the pair are very nearly equal physical matches, but Batroc has the serious advantage when it comes to his mustache. Although some consider him a comedic personage, he's undergone some character rehabilitation at the hands of Ed Brubaker.
