Overview[]
Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, is a wise-cracking, yet cynnical costumed adventurer who possesses no superhuman powers, but is an accomplished archer and gymnist. His preferred weapon of choice is a compound bow, which he equips with various gimmick-related arrow heads. Originally a villain, Hawkeye was reformed due to the efforts of Tony Stark, aka Iron Man and has been an on-again/off-again member of the superhero team the Avengers. Hawkeye founded the West Coast Avengers and remained with the group for nearly the entirety of their duration. He was also the one-time leader of the Great Lakes Avengers, with the dream that he could forge them into a real superhero team. In addition to his time with the Avengers and his own solo adventures, Hawkeye has also been known to wear different suits and different names. Earlier in his career, he began taking size-altering Pym particles and became Goliath. After returning from the dead, he became the mysterious black-hooded hero known as Ronin.
Biography[]
With the Avengers[]
When Jennifer Walters came on board as a member of the Avengers, Clint was always giving her a hard time. Janet van Dyne had fashioned a new outfit for her, and Clint obnoxiously made fun of the "Savage" She-Hulk's new look. She-Hulk embarrassed Clint by picking him up, planting a big kiss on him, then dropping him onto his butt. [3]
That same day, Clint and the Avengers fought up against the New Masters of Evil. Clint took down Whirlwind by way of an electrically-charged arrow that penetrated Whirlwind's aerokinetic defenses. [4]
Notes & Trivia[]
- The character of Clint Barton was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck.
- There have been two other characters in the mainstream Marvel Universe who have gone by the name Hawkeye. Kate Bishop assumed the name during a period of time when Barton was deceased and she joined the group known as the Young Avengers. She also went by the unflattering code name Hawkingbird, which is a combination of Hawkeye and Mockingbird. The second Hawkeye was the assassin known as Bullseye, who became Hawkeye as a member of Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers.
- Hawkeye is the only Marvel Comics superhero who has been a member of the East Coast Avengers, the West Coast Avengers, the Secret Avengers and the Great Lakes Avengers.
