Finesse (character)

Jeanne Foucault is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Christos Gage and artist Mike McKone, the character first appeared in Avengers Academy #1 (June 2010). Foucault is known under the codename Finesse. She is the daughter of the supervillain Taskmaster. Like her father, she possesses photographic reflexes, allowing her to replicate any fighting style.

Finesse occupies a morally ambiguous space in the Marvel universe. In some of her appearances, she has been depicted as a frenemy to superhero Nadia Pym / The Wasp. She partnered with Stryker during Infinity when they were chosen for the Contest of Champions. After her time at Avengers Academy, she joined A.I.M. to further develop her abilities, which led to a conflict with Nadia Van Dyne and her team. However, she later switched allegiances and worked alongside G.I.R.L. in Unstoppable Wasp.
