Drill Bit

Drill Bit

**Drill Bit** is a gopher monster that appeared in the episode Putting For Rangers from Justice Squadron: Comicger. He was another monster that appeared fairly early in the Comicger comics, appearing in Issue #8. Drill Bit was sent by Darkanos to the St. Petsburg Country Club because he heard from Gelgieden that there was a dormant volcano buried 50 feet underneath the 9-hole golf course there. He was chosen because of the drill he had on his head, and the drills on his gloves, and he uses them to dig 50 feet or more beneath the Earth's crust, allowing him to reach the volcano. However, the Comicgers discovered him trying to do so, and they were able to weaken him by rusting his drills after knocking him into the water hazard. Once the Comicgers were able to figure out how to stop him from reaching the volcano, they got help from the fire department, who blasted 300 gallons of water down Drill Bit's hole, making his drills rusty again. Drill Bit was also unable to reach the volcano because David Chippendale used his new Sketch Drill to cut him off and stop him in his tracks. He was then sent back to the comics by the Astro Gold Space Robo.

Drill Bit appeared again in Twas The Fight Before Christmas as one of Soul Krampus' soul monsters that Darkanos used as part of a divide and conquer strategy by Darkanos to ruin Christmas in Petropolis. He assisted Gelgieden, Horn Charge, Kraken Toa, and Knight Fall in harassing some Petropolis citizens who were enjoying themselves in the park, where he can be seen tunneling underneath a couple of kids who were making snow angels, and popping out from under them, making the kids run away. He was eventually defeated by Steve Baldwin and Maple Howler, along with the other monsters at the park.

Drill Bit also attended the monster convention in Turning the Last Page at the Beariott Hotel as part of Darkanos' ultimate plan to take over Petropolis and was also part of the invasion of the city. He was ultimately defeated, and sent back to the comics when Steve, Maple, Aaron, Linda, Alyssa, and Julian fought him off and the other monsters while Rozoson dealt with the core Comicgers.

## Trivia

* Drill Bit was inspired by the following villains since the monsters from "Justice Squadron: Comicger" are all based on villains from comic-related media:
	+ Ground Man from *Mega Man & Bass*
	+ Dirt Bag from *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles*
	+ Terramole from **Power Rangers: Ninja Storm**
* Drill Bit was originally going to appear in the 30th episode of Justice Squadron: Comicger but TUFFAgentShepherd wanted to introduce the Comic Nitro before the Astro Gold Armor. So, Drill Bit was bumped back to the 38th episode.
* Drill Bit's scheme that involves drilling his way towards a dormant volcano makes him very similar to the Horn-Rimmed Monster from **Power Rangers: Dino Thunder**.
* Due to Drill Bit's design, Eli J. Brown was reminded of the two robotic drill monsters from **Power Rangers Zeo**:
	+ Drill Master
	+ Digster
