Hero Datafile: Finesse

Raised by the Taskmaster and trained from childhood to become the perfect operative, Jeanne Foucault possesses photographic reflexes that allow her to instantly mimic physical skills after observing them. Unlike her father, she has spent much of her life trying to decide what kind of person she wants to be rather than simply becoming the perfect weapon. A graduate of the Avengers Academy, Finesse combines tactical brilliance, acrobatic skill, and copied fighting styles into a highly adaptable hero.
