History

The early life and origin of the villain known as Gauntlet remains unclear. He was an original recruit of the Riders of the Storm, and he remained with the team throughout its existence, escaping death at the hands of Wolverine by ditching the battle that claimed the lives of many of his teammates. Gauntlet rejoined the group under its second organization under the leadership of Stryfe, but he again escaped.

Gauntlet was later hired in secret by Blaquesmith to hunt down Apocalypse when the villain was bodily merged with Cyclops, only to find Apocalypse killed when Phoenix rescued Cyclops from the merger. Gauntlet did not reveal to Cable the identity of his client.

The full details of Gauntlet's powers remain unclear, although clearly his physiology has been affected, granting him green skin and long, spiny teeth. Gauntlet has always appeared with various weaponry such as high-tech lasers, machine guns, and rocket launchers, and his eye is covered with a targeting device. Whether such equipment is related to his power remains unknown.
