The telescopic baton was a weapon employed by Ben. It appeared harmless until the baton was extended, a fact which Ben took advantage of to take multiple enemies by surprise. The telescopic steel baton was used by Ben to beat Sawyer to the point of unconsciousness, after he tried to escape from his Hydra imprisonment. ("Every Man for Himself") Ben was also prepared to use the baton as an emergency backup in case a doorman interfered with his plans, but it didn't turn out to be necessary.
