Why do I like Batroc?
I've seen him in like 3 issues of ToS and he is such a cool character, I don't know why. I was looking through the Order and saw that he appears later in an Iron Fist issue and I was like 'heck yes, he's still around.'
I don't get it. what is his appeal. I'm not rooting for him against Cap (ok yes I am), but why do i like his character so much?

Hahaha, no. I thought about that, but no that's not it.

And Black Panther is awesome too, but I guess that was to be expected.

Really, Bartoc....that character drives me crazy. Marvels idea of a French accent is pretty insulting.

you're liking must be based almost entirely on subjective reasons, some strange quirk of your upbringing or genetics has caused you to have an irrational affection for stereotypical, evil, french masters of a martial art no one has ever heard of with lame names.

seriously though anyone read Captain America and Batroc from 2011? that was pretty good and went a long way toward making the character interesting. if you like batroc and haven't read this you should.

Is that the one where Cap is like "not this lame ass again" and then he doesn't totally suck like he's supposed to?

That ToS panel where all it is is fighting was pretty cool.
I do love the Nazi's accents when they are portrayed. They switch back and forth from English to German as if that's natural when giving orders to someone who understands your native tongue.
I think rocketraccoon is probably right, I'm just weird.

maybe. cap is bucky in this one. batroc loses in every way but the story makes him feel like a real and complex person with reasons beyond greed instead of just a criminal french stereotype.

Funnily enough, Batroc turned up in today's Ultimate Spider-Man (Issue #13). He's actually pretty good in it. Funny, too.
