Happy Bastille Day France!

Bonjour! In commemoration of Bastille Day for all of our French readers, we bring you Batroc. He has the ability to ... leap. Just pretend he's not lame and he always kicks Captain America's ass and all will be well. In fact, today we'll pretend -- errr, I meant ASSUME -- he will win. Seriously though, I can't think of a decent French superhero. I'm not trying to be glib (right here and now, not earlier or later). Can anyone remember any others?

For the exact opposite, visit Focused Totality and see today's post. Harsh but funny. We won't even make any snarky comments as the featured pages on the site do just fine on their own, thank you very much. We know there are similar sentiments overseas about the US's bellicose behavior. In fact, if memory serves us right, Ultimates Vol. 2 has plenty.
