Biography
Mercenary Work
S.H.I.E.L.D. Target
- "Top mercs, led by this guy, Georges Batroc. Ex-DGSE, Action Division. He's at the top of Interpol's red notice. Before the French demobilized him, he had thirty-six kill missions."
- ―Brock Rumlow[src]
Georges Batroc was born on May 19, 1981, in Marseille, France. Eventually, he joined the French Foreign Legion, attained the rank of Adjudant (Master Sergeant), and moved to Algeria. After leaving the French Foreign Legion, he became an agent of the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure's Action Division. Before he was demobilized, he had credited with 36 kill missions.
Batroc's S.H.I.E.L.D. file
Batroc later became a freelance mercenary, pirate, and terrorist for hire. He had committed a spree of sixty-two linked crimes; as such, he was wanted by several international law enforcement, defense, and intelligence agencies, including the FBI, British Armed Forces and MSS. Interpol was hunting him as well, and they assigned him a Red Notice, hoping to arrest him as soon as possible. Because of his skill and training, he gained a reputation for causing maximum casualties during his operations.[2]
Hijacking of the Lemurian Star
Encounter with Captain America
Batroc takes over the Lemurian Star
In 2014, Batroc was paid by Nick Fury to lead a team of 25 pirates to hijack and attempt to ransom the Lemurian Star. Using a team of highly trained pirates, Batroc took over the whole ship, kidnapping all the crew and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents onboard, including Jasper Sitwell. He then demanded a ransom of a billion and a half dollars for the safe release of the ship and its hostages. Batroc took the Captain's seat on the ship and awaited news on his payment; when it seemed to be late, he ordered Ferdinand Lopez to prepare to leave as soon as all of the hostages had been rescued.
Batroc finds and challenges Captain America
S.H.I.E.L.D. sent in STRIKE, Captain America, and Black Widow to stop him. Once Captain America and the rest of the team had knocked out almost all of his pirates, Batroc was able to dodge out of the way of Captain America's Shield; he then attempted to escape. Batroc ambushed Captain America. The pair had a brief fight before Batroc challenged the Captain to fight him without the use of his shield; Rogers accepted the challenge and they began to fight.
Batroc fights against Captain America
Batroc was overpowered and eventually defeated by Captain America after a prolonged fight, being dazed from a kick to the head before being thrown through a door and punched in the face, finally knocking him unconscious. Batroc soon regained consciousness and saw Captain America arguing with Black Widow about their mission plans. Batroc ran for the door and threw a grenade at his enemies in an attempt to kill them and escaped the ship. Captain America was able to deflect the grenade in time for him and Widow to survive the explosion, but he was unable to recapture Batroc who managed to get off the ship and escape before he could recover.[2]
