Real Name: Clint Barton

First Appearance: Tales of Suspense #57 (Sep, 1964)

Capsule: Hawkeye is the world's greatest archer. He started as a circus performer before trying his hand at superheroics inspired by Iron Man. Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding with the police in his first mission and Clint was thought a criminal. He ended up fighting Iron Man a couple times, later influenced by the communist spy Black Widow.

But Hawkeye was still a hero at heart and eventually managed to clean his name and secure a place in the Avengers when most of the original members took leaves of absence. Though brash and impulsive, the archer became one of the Avengers' most important members, with several long stints of service. He was even leader of the Avenger's west coast branch while it lasted.

Notes: The number of special arrows Hawkeye has employed over the years is limitless. He can spend hero points to use arrows not on his usual list as a Power Stunt. It should be noted that Hawkeye himself designed and built many of his arrows, but since he has rarely demonstrated technical skills apart from that, I didn't give him Craft skills.
