Deborah Sampson Deborah Sampson Gannett (December 17, 1760 â€“ April 29, 1827), better known as Deborah Samson or Deborah Sampson, was a Massachusetts woman who disguised herself as a man in order to serve in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. She is one of a small number of women with a documented record of military combat experience in that war.[1] She served 17 months in the army under the name "Robert Shirtliff" (also spelled Shirtliffe or Shurtleff)[2][3] of Uxbridge, Massachusetts, was wounded in 1782, and was honorably discharged at West Point, New York in 1783.
Batroc the Leaper Batroc the Leaper appears in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, portrayed by French Canadian former UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre.[39] He appears as an Algerian mercenary who is holding a S.H.I.E.L.D. ship hostage. Captain America, Black Widow and a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents rescue the hostages. Batroc then has a fight with Captain America but is eventually defeated, and later escapes. He is captured by Alexander Goodwin Pierce and brought in for questioning, but is seen to remain silent during interrogation. Nick Fury later reveals he hired Batroc to hijack the ship to give him an excuse to send Black Widow on board so she could steal confidential S.H.I.E.L.D. files pointing to a Hydra conspiracy that involved Hydra infiltrators within S.H.I.E.L.D.
