Friday Night Fights: Don't Fear the Leaper

Because this installment of Bahlactus's weekly four-color free-for-all happens to fall on February 29, I though it proper to celebrate the intercalary squaring of the temporal books known as a "leap year" with some bona fide leaping.

Monsieur Batroc, would care to do the honors?

(from Captain America #303, March 1985; by Mike Carlin, Paul Neary, and Dennis Janke)

Le temps est un grand maître, dit-on, le malheur est qu'il tue ses élèves. - Hector Berlioz

The Lambrettas - Leap Before You Look (from Beat Boys in the Jet Age, 1980) - Questionable advice (especially when Star-Spangled Avengers are involved) from these mod revivalists, but a quite nifty song nonetheless.

(Edit: Great minds think alike, as do comics-addled ones.)
