His name is Georges Batroc, and in the comics he goes by Batroc the Leaper. He's a fairly comical character with a Snidely Whiplash mustache and who constantly speaks in a deliberately over-the-top French accent ("Sacre bleu!"). Beyond that, though, he not only commands his own legion of mercenaries (Batroc's Brigade), but is a legitimately dangerous hand-to-hand opponent, being a master of the French martial art of savate, or foot-boxing. That's more or less the discipline they had Georges St-Pierre use in the movie for that amazing fight scene he was in.
