Frenchie then went undercover in order to infiltrate the crime organization the Committee, under the alias Monsieur LeBlanc, which allowed Moon Knight to bring down the organization.

Frenchie was later crippled when Moon Knight’s brother

Randall Spector caused an explosion at Moon Knight’s mansion
. His girlfriend Chloe Tran also informed him that he carried the bloodline of the Hellbent, a race of supernatural beings, and that he has the ability to transform into his ancestors.

After being driven away by Moon Knight, Frenchie became partners with Rob Silverman, and they opened and ran a restaurant called En Table. It is revealed he is gay, and was attracted to Marc. Norman Osborn learned that Frenchie was an associate of Moon Knight, and sent a gang to kill him and Silverman in order to provoke Moon Knight.
