Fictional character biography

[edit]

Jackhammer is a costumed agent/division leader of HYDRA when it was under the leadership of the crime lord Silvermane. When they arranged a kidnapping of Foggy Nelson, Daredevil, Black Widow, and S.H.I.E.L.D. pursued them. Jackhammer was among those who fought Daredevil and was defeated.[1]

Jackhammer later left HYDRA and gained superhuman strength from a treatment at Power Broker, Inc. and started a relationship with female wrestler Poundcakes whose rebuff threatened the first date of Captain America and Diamondback. Anaconda and Asp rendered Jackhammer and Poundcake unconscious.[2]

Dr. Karl Malus of Power Broker, Inc. formed Power Tools with Jackhammer and other villains in their plot to capture Battlestar and other characters when they de-powered them. He was among the villains that fought Captain America.[3]

Jackhammer left Power Tools once when there was an occasion that Doctor Octopus recruited him to join his incarnation of the Masters of Evil during the Infinity War. He was among the villains that turned on Doctor Octopus causing him to take flight.[4]

He would participate in an attack on the Thames Tunnel, threatening many civilians inside. He was swiftly defeated by the superhero Union Jack.[5]

Powers and abilities

[edit]

Originally, Jackhammer is an accomplished engineer and inventor, who wears devices similar to the Shocker's vibro-shock gauntlets. They increase the concussive force of his blows by generating pulsed vibrations on contact.[6] Now, he received immense physical attributes due to the Power Broker treatment, but it somewhat diminished his mind.[7]
