Hugh Jones

"I didn't know our government had such a good taste in secretaries. What's your name, darling?" "Agent."

- Hugh Jones and Peggy Carter

Hugh Jones is the head of the Roxxon Oil Corporation investigated by the Strategic Scientific Reserve, coming across Agent Peggy Carter during her undercover mission.

History
Hugh Jones met with Strategic Scientific Reserve Chief Roger Dooley and Agent Jack Thompson during their investigation of the explosion of the Roxxon Refinery.

Jones told them that he and Howard Stark, their main suspect behind the explosion, were once friends, until Jones' wife came between them. After being assured that the SSR had a very little interest regarding minor illegal corporate espionage, Jones told them that he had spies in Stark Industries, who told him that Stark invented a formula for Nitramene-bombs, that would be able to cause an explosion like the one in the Roxxon Refinery.

He also told them that the Nitramene emitted Vita Radiation, after which they decided to scan every employee at Roxxon. They called Peggy Carter, who brought them a Vita-Ray Detector to help them in the scanning. Initially, they scanned the employees as usual, but when Carter (who was, unknown to the others, at the Refinery before the explosion) saw a familiar face passing the test, she told the others that it would be more optimal if they also scanned the clothes of the employees in the locker rooms as the Vita Rays could be easily washed away from the body. Upon hearing that, Van Ert tried to flee the scene, but Carter outmanuvered him with directions given to her by Jones and knocked him out with her purse.
