Crossbones (Brock Rumlow) is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually depicted as an adversary of the superhero Captain America. Created by writer Mark Gruenwald and artist Kieron Dwyer, the character first appeared in Captain America #359 (October 1989). Crossbones usually appears as an ally of the Red Skull. He carried out the assassination of Captain America, although a hypnotized Sharon Carter is believed to have fired the fatal shots.
Over the years, Crossbones has appeared in various forms of media, including animated television series and video games. Most notably, actor Frank Grillo has portrayed the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Crossbones first appeared during the "Bloodstone Hunt" storyline in the issues of Captain America. Technically, he made a cameo appearance in issue #359, in one panel, as a figure watching from the shadows. In the next issue, he was shown in costume, making this issue his first full appearance. He later revealed his name to Diamondback before knocking her unconscious in issue #362.
He appeared as a regular character in Thunderbolts beginning with issue #144, but was dismissed from the team in issue #150.
Young Brock Rumlow led the Savage Crims gang on New York City's Lower East Side, during which time he assaulted fifteen-year-old Rachel Leighton and fought her two brothers, killing the elder brother. Rumlow fled, entering Taskmaster's school for criminals, within three years becoming an instructor under the name of Bingo Brock.
