Fictional character biography

Original

The original Mademoiselle Marie was introduced in ''Star Spangled War Stories'' #84, created by Robert Kanigher and Jerry Grandenetti. Marie (last name unknown) was a French farm girl who joined the French Resistance during World War II. The red beret wearing character is notable as being the only love interest of Sgt. Rock.
In Pre-Crisis continuity it was revealed that Marie had a daughter named Julia Remarque. The father of her child was Batman's butler Alfred Pennyworth, who was an intelligence agent in France during the war. Julia no longer exists in the current DC Comics continuity.

Legacy

At some point following World War II the name of Mademoiselle Marie became a code name awarded to agents of the French intelligence agency, the DGSE^[1]. 'Josephine Tautin', introduced in ''Checkmate'' vol. 2, #5, uses the name in her capacity as the member of Checkmate known as Black Queen's Knight. Relatively little has been revealed of Tautin's background as yet, save that she was the only Knight candidate able to pass Checkmate's admission tests by display sufficient cold-bloodedness.
