Dum Dum Dugan

"Hell, I'll always fight. But you got to do one thing for me." "What's that?" "Open a tab."

- Dum Dum Dugan and Steve Rogers

Timothy "Dum Dum" Dugan was a soldier and became a member of an elite special unit of Allied soldiers formed in World War II known as the Howling Commandos. He fought along side Captain America and Bucky Barnes and was key in defeating HYDRA and ending the war. He remained close to many of his fellow soldiers after the war, including Howard Stark and Peggy Carter.

World War II
"You know, Fritz, one of these days I'll have a stick of my own."

- Dum Dum Dugan to a HYDRA guard

Timothy Aloysius "Dum Dum" Dugan was an Allied soldier who was served in the 107th along with Bucky Barnes, during a battle with German soldiers they were captured by HYDRA. Dugan was locked away with the surviving members of the 107th and forced into hard labor building weapons from the Tesseract's power. When Captain America single-handedly assaulted the facility in which he was prisoner, Dugan along with his companions were freed and able to over come the HYDRA guards. When they broke free, Dugan, Gabe Jones and James Montgomery Falsworth took over a HYDRA tank and wreaked havoc on the HYDRA agents. Captain America escorted Dugan and the rest of the POWs to the US military base immediately after. Shortly after their break-out, Dugan and his comrades were invited to join a special elite commando unit led by Rogers himself. When asked while drinking with some other POWs, Dugan happily joined, saying he was always ready for battle, as long as someone else paid for his drinks. Along with the other Howlers, Dugan took part in every assault against HYDRA, taking out massive bases and tanks, crippling HYDRA's strength. During one mission Dugan oversaw Rogers, Bucky Barnes and Gabe Jones assault a train to capture Arnim Zola, however only Rogers and Jones returns as Barnes was seemingly killed during the mission.

Captain America was captured while storming Johann Schmidt's fortress, however this was a diversion and Dugan and the rest of the Howling Commandos attacked the base along with a unit lead by Peggy Carter and Chester Phillips. Dugan and the Howling Commandos took over the base, but Rogers went missing in action. Dugan never saw him again. Dugan, along with SSR agent Peggy Carter and fellow commando Jim Morita then captured the last known HYDRA base in Austria, along with HYDRA General Werner Reinhardt, effectively ending their war against HYDRA, although Reinhardt still said the HYDRA motto, "Cut off one head, two more shall take its place" while Dugan handcuffed him. Dugan, Morita and Carter locked away all the artifacts including an artifact of unknown origin known as the Obelisk due to its shape.

When the war was won, Dugan and the surviving members of the Howling Commandos raised a drink to Captain America in London, while the rest of the population celebrated the end of the war.

Cold War
Dugan acted as contact for Nick Fury during one of his missions with the CIA during the Cold War.
