Alternate Versions

In other media

Television

  • In X-Men: Evolution, Gauntlet appeared as an antagonist in the episode "Target X" where he was voiced by actor Mark Gibbons. He was shown as being an agent of HYDRA and deployed with Omega Red to capture Wolverine. This was because they wanted to use him as bait to capture X-23 who had begun to attack HYDRA operations. With his tracking ability, Gauntlet succeeded in the capture of Logan and had him left in the woods near X-23's location. She found him but both Gauntlet and Omega Red ultimately captured the pair. However, this proved to be a trap by X-23 as she intended to use this opportunity to sneak onboard the HYDRA flagship. Once inside, she confronted the Supreme Hydra and sought to detonate explosives to kill herself and everyone else. Gauntlet confronted her but was unable to stop her as she detonated the explosives seemingly killing him, the Supreme Hydra and X-23. However, X-23 was shown to had been alive and in hiding with her being presumed dead.
