Television

Gauntlet made an appearance in the animated television show X-Men Evolution in the fourth season episode Target X. He is one of HYDRA's premiere agents, and is a master of hand-to-hand and armed combat.

Gauntlet appears to have been either genetically altered or possessed a natural mutation that makes him stronger, tougher, and with keener senses than the average human being. Like other agents of HYDRA, he has access to a wide array of tools and equipment that make him a formidable opponent and a dangerous tracker.

Unfortunately for Gauntlet, he was aboard the hovercraft with the Supreme HYDRA which X-23 destroyed. He was taken prisoner by S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers.
