History:
(Strange Tales I#141) - After a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents broke into Hydra's headquarters through its underground entrance they attempted to pursue the Imperial Hydra (Arnold Brown) up the steps which led to his office in Imperial Industries. Finding the entrance sealed with a steel door, Nick Fury ordered Gabe Jones to open it with a Bazooka Drill. Gabe cautioned Fury to stand back, then began tearing through the door, until he'd made an enormous gash through the center of the door. Dum Dum Dugan then used a sledge hammer to knock out the piece of steel Gabe had carved around.
Comments: Created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Frank Giacoia.
