Leap-Frog's suit contains electrical coils on the soles of its flippers which allows him to leap great distances. The boots' power source is worn on his back like a back pack. In addition, internal padding of the suit enables Frog-man to bounce off objects with little danger. |

Leap-Frog (real name Vincent "Vinnie" Colorito Patilio), also known as Frog-Man, is a Marvel Comics supervillain, most commonly associated with Daredevil.
The character was created by Stan Lee and Gene Colan in Daredevil #25 (February, 1967), and is basically a criminal in a frog costume with springs under his shoes. However, his superior athletic abilities make him a serious fighter.
Leap-Frog is not known for being lucky. For example, he started his criminal career by taking a "blind" lawyer hostage (the lawyer turned out to be Matt Murdock, the civilian identity of Daredevil). He soon retired from being a villain and his son took up heroics.
