―Brock Rumlow
Brock Rumlow was a HYDRA infiltrator who had been posing as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and STRIKE's team field commander. Due to his training from S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA, Rumlow had become a world-class combatant, with extensive experience in street fighting, martial arts, and military combat techniques. Following the Battle of New York, Rumlow's STRIKE team had been ordered to return the Scepter to HYDRA. Following this, Rumlow followed Captain America on several missions, until the HYDRA Uprising was revealed and Rumlow was ordered to lead their team and assassinate Captain America under the orders of Alexander Pierce. Eventually, all HYDRA's schemes were defeated and, during the Battle at the Triskelion, Rumlow had almost been crushed to death by a Helicarrier while fighting against Sam Wilson, suffering several horrific facial scars in the process.
Double AgentHYDRA UprisingCrossbones' RevengeLegacy―Brock Rumlow
Originally, Rumlow was extremely loyal to HYDRA, as well as being slightly cocky, like when he saved Steve Rogers aboard the Lemurian Star. He was greatly impressed with Rogers' abilities as a soldier, such as when Rogers jumped from a Quinjet without a parachute. He had a strong attitude, as well as a tendency to go to extreme lengths to do things, like when he threatened to kill Cameron Klein if he did not launch the Project Insight Helicarriers.
As for when he took up the Crossbones alias, Rumlow was unpredictable, unapologetic, vicious, arrogant, ruthless and murderous. Following his escape from the hospital, Rumlow completely abandoned HYDRA's ideals, quickly becoming obsessed with only one thing - revenge.
Rumlow was carelessly willing to sacrifice two of his men to kill Black Widow with a grenade and brutally attacked Captain America with no remorse. When he was finally defeated, he did not hesitate to blow himself up if that meant that his enemies would die with him. However, before his death, Rumlow was proven to be an extremely sadistic person as he lied to Rogers about the latter meeting with Bucky Barnes, when he taunted him, Rumlow seemed to be enjoying from the thing.
Powers
―Crossbones to Black Widow •Enhanced Durability: Due to severe nerve damage, when Black Widow had attempted to electrocute Rumlow with her gauntlets, Crossbones informed her that he didn't work like that anymore, implying that he has new found durability, yet he still screamed in pain once his suicide vest went off, and the blast was contained against his body by Scarlet Witch. •Battlefield Suit Capabilities: After the Battle at the Triskelion, Rumlow went on the run and donned the name, Crossbones. With this new name, he also gained new equipment, which included weaponized gauntlets. Along with these gauntlets, they gave with increased strength and the armor as a whole gave him increased durability. The gauntlets contain retractable blades as well. He used the blade against Captain America, but it was easily disassembled by the Super Soldier. •Enhanced Strength: Harnessing the hydraulic functions of his specialized gauntlets, Rumlow gained superhuman strength. They boosted his physical attributes enough that he was even a match for Captain America. When trying to strike Captain America, he even punched a hole into the cement wall.

He was able to evade the knives thrown by one of the men in Baker's terrorist cell and easily defeat him, able to fight evenly against Black Widow, and hold his own against Captain America for the longest when the whole STRIKE team tried to subdue him, though he was ultimately defeated. He is able to get the upperhand against Falcon in their fight, but not escaping without multiple bruises and cuts on his face. Whilst in his Battlefield Suit Rumlow managed to defeat Black Widow and go toe to toe against Captain America a super-soldier with reflexes faster than any human. •Knife Mastery: Rumlow was highly skilled at using a knife in combat. This is seen when he quickly drew his knife and disarmed Sharon Carter before she could react. Later, he killed several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents with a knife and gun combination. As Crossbones, he used his gauntlets' retractable blades during his fight with Captain America, with the latter managing to dodge his quick stabs and slashes, due to his enhanced reflexes. ―Captain America and Brock Rumlow •Master Marksman: Rumlow was an accomplished marksman in sharpshooting, being able to, among other things, shoot a rope with a crossbow to catch Captain America to prevent him from falling from a building, or accurately land a single shot to a target's head while parachuting. •Expert Spy: Rumlow managed to hide his true identity as a HYDRA sleeper agent from S.H.I.E.L.D., forming a partnership with Captain America and Black Widow in the process. •Master Assassin: Rumlow was highly skilled in taking out his targets, as seen when he coordinated a simultaneous shooting of pirates with his S.T.R.I.K.E. team to rescue hostages. He even ambushed other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, taking them out in quick succession during the Battle at the Triskelion. •Expert Tactician: Due to his military training, Rumlow was a highly trained strategist with extensive knowledge in warfare and military combatants. After abandoning HYDRA, Rumlow was able to stay ahead of the Avengers and law enforcement for six months. He was able to swiftly escape various scenes where he had staged heists or attacks. When he and his mercenaries planned to storm the Institute for Infectious Diseases laboratory in Lagos, Rumlow used a garbage truck to break into the area to avoid suspicion.

He was photographed during the attack, and his image wielding the guns appeared in a newspaper photograph. •Steyr AUG A3: A bullpup assault rifle that Rumlow carried on a mission to retake the Lemurian Star and liberate hostages inside. He used it even before landing on the ship, killing a pirate that was about to attack Captain America and navigated with it inside the ship. •M4A1 Carbine: The standard weapon used by S.H.I.E.L.D. Strike Team members, that Rumlow used while trying to capture Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff in Camp Lehigh. •Kel-Tec KSG: Crossbones carried this shotgun in his Attack on the IFID Headquarters in case he needed it to dispatch remaining security staff, but he quickly discarded it as he entered into the building. •Mk 19 Grenade Launcher: Crossbones seized control of one of the armored trucks stationed at the IFID Headquarters, and manned its weapon in order to shoot grenades at Captain America in an effort to kill him.
