Gabriel "Gabe" Jones is a fictional character in Marvel Comics' shared universe, the Marvel Universe. Created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist and co-plotter Jack Kirby, he made his first appearance in the World War II war comics series "Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos" #1 (May 1963). Although colorist Stan Goldberg knew that Jones was African American, the company that made the engraving plates for "Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos" #1 thought a mistake had been made and colored him the same color as the rest of the Howling Commandoes.

Publication history

Gabe Jones appeared as a regular cast-member in virtually every issue and annual of "Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos." In present-day stories, initially in the feature "Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." in "Strange Tales" Vol. 1, he appears as an agent of that fictional espionage organization — inexplicably aged very little, like fellow WWII vet and agent Dum Dum Dugan, despite a retcon explanation for agency head Nick Fury's youthfulness. As a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Jones has appeared in issues of "The Avengers", "Iron Man", "Captain America", "The Incredible Hulk", the first two volumes of "Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.", and the 1988 miniseries "Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D."

Fictional character biography

Gabriel "Gabe" Jones was born in New York City. He is an original member of the fictional, elite Howling Commandos combat squad of World War II, and the first African-American to serve in an integrated unit. (The U.S. Armed Forces, in real life, were not integrated until after the war, by executive order of President Harry S Truman.) He is one of the close confidantes of Nick Fury, his sergeant and later the head of the international espionage organization S.H.I.E.L.D., which Jones joined at some unspecified point after the war. He also served under Fury in reunion misses during the Korean Police Action and the Vietnam War.

Jones retired from S.H.I.E.L.D. after the events of the "Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D." six-issue miniseries (1988), but returned to help train a new corps of recruits, who were then killed by the terrorist organization HYDRA, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s primary nemesis.
