First Appearance: Tales of Suspense #57 June 1964

"I mean, I can't miss... I'm on a team with super-humans. And one god, in case you've forgotten. Even you... well, you climb walls really well. The training is the only thing that makes me special. And if I'm not special, then none of this is worth it. I gave up a lot for this life. I could have been happy with Mockingbir-- Bobbi. We could have had a good, simple life. But I wanted to play with the big boys. And if I miss, it means I'm just another dude with a bow. It means I've been fooling myself this whole time. And that's why I never miss." - Hawkeye

Clinton "Clint" Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye is an American skilled marksman, archer, and former circus performer and minor super villain turned member of the Avengers, "Earth's Mightiest Heroes". As a member of the Avengers, he always had friction with the team, but always returned to fight any threat. Barton was raised in the circus, trained by criminals, and grew from a troubled youth into one of Earth's greatest heroes. Known for his use of a bow and arrow as his primary weapon, his skill is so great that it appears like he never misses. He has worked with Black Widow, whom he developed a strong friendship with. For many years, he was married to fellow super hero Mockingbird, and together they were the original founders of the West Coast Avengers

Although Hawkeye became romantically involved with the Black Widow, he was unhappy being a criminal. When he approached the Avengers and told them of his desire to reform, Iron Man sponsored his membership on the team. Barton formed, along with Captain America, Scarlet Witch and her brother, Quicksilver, an incarnation of the Avengers known as "Cap's Kooky Quartet." This was the lineup that succeeded the original after the four remaining founders took indefinite leaves of absence. At first regarded as less formidable than the previous roster, the new team soon proved themselves against the likes of Kang the Conqueror and Doctor Doom.
