Machete

A mercenary and member of Batroc's Brigade, Machete operates alongside the likes of Batroc the Leaper and Zaran, frequently clashing with Captain America. He is a skilled combatant who lives up to his blade-themed name.

Machete made his mark on the Marvel Universe when Tom DeFalco and Mark D. Bright introduced him in Solo Avengers #3 in 1988, dropping him straight into the thick of the Copper Age's action-packed storytelling. A card-carrying member of Batroc's Brigade, he runs with a genuinely dangerous crowd — sharing pages with the likes of Georges Batroc and the formidable Maximillian Zaran, and crossing paths repeatedly with none other than Captain America himself. His appearances are concentrated in the pages of Captain America and its annuals, which tells you everything about the caliber of conflict he's been thrown into over a publishing history that stretches an impressive thirty years. With 14 catalog appearances including a key issue to his name, Machete is exactly the kind of tenacious villain who rewards the collector digging deeper into Marvel's rich rogues' gallery.
