History: Vincent Patilio invented a number of novelty items for toy companies, but because of his contracts never earned any royalties from the sales of these items – some of which have done quite well for themselves. Upset that the corporations were making millions off his toys while he had to work two retail positions to make ends meet, he decided not to hand over his latest novelty invention. This invention was a set of electric spring boots which could enable someone to leap at least twice as far or high as they normally could. Vincent managed, through trial and error, to increase the distance even greater.

Vincent designed a frog-like suit to hide his identity, and, calling himself the Leapfrog, started committing a number of robberies against the toy businesses he'd worked for in the past. On at least two occasions, he mugged the corporate executives of these companies while they were taking money out at the ATM. This brought him into conflict with the costumed vigilante Daredevil, but he managed to escape.

Emboldened by this initial success, Leapfrog began making more daring robberies. Overconfident, and lacking any real combat training, he was quickly defeated by Daredevil and arrested.

During his trial, however, he denied ever having seen the boots before, and claimed the boots were the wrong shoe size and wouldn't fit. The Assistant District Attorney prosecuting the case had him try on the boots, intending to prove that the boots did in fact fit. Vincent then used the boots – which indeed did fit his feet – to escape. He then teamed up with Stilt-Man to engage in a second-story crime spree, before they were both again confronted by Daredevil.

Vincent Patilio was among the various criminals who were involved in the massive breakout from Ryker's Island, which was led by the Rhino. Since then, he hasn't yet made a reappearance, although the authorities believe it is only a matter of time.

Eyes: Brown.
Hair: Brown.
Uniform: A dark green bodysuit with a helmet shaped like a frog's head (his eyes are visible through the helmet's "mouth"), light green gloves, light green webbed boots with springs on the underside, a light green backpack with the support strap across the chest, and light green shorts.
Strength Level: Frog-Man possesses the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in little regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: None.
Other Abilities: Vincent Patilio is a skilled inventor. He has also been developing a unique fighting style which takes advantage of the suit's leaping capabilities.
Paraphernalia: The boots of the Leapfrog suit enable the wearer to leap incredible distances due to its electric-powered springs. It is also lightly padded to partially absorb the shock of landing. The suit is able to make standing leaps of up to 26 feet high and over 100 feet long; the webbed feet on the boots, however, restrict the wearer's running speed, preventing the Leapfrog from making running leaps. The boots also enable him to kick harder than he normally would.
