Clint Barton
29
Clinton Francis "Clint" Barton is an extremely skilled marksman, a former special agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and one of the founding members of the Avengers. Known for his use of the bow and arrow as his primary weapon and his extremely keen eyesight and accuracy, which earned him the codename Hawkeye, Barton had become one of the best S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, responsible for the recruitment of Black Widow, with whom he developed a strong friendship. Assigned by Nick Fury into watching over the Tesseract, he was brainwashed by Loki. Hawkeye continued to work with S.H.I.E.L.D. until its collapse following the HYDRA Uprising. Hawkeye was pulled back into the fight, since Tony Stark had inadvertently used HYDRA as well as some Chitauri technology to create Ultron. As Ultron tried to destroy their world, he allied himself with Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, and Barton focused much of his efforts in convincing them to change sides while keeping all the Avengers safe by bringing them into his family home. During the final Battle of Sokovia, Pietro saved Hawkeye's life but sacrificed his own in the process, after which Barton chose to retire. Barton was recruited by Captain America to help him during his fight against the newly produced Sokovia Accords, which forced Rogers to protect his friend Bucky Barnes from being arrested for a crime that he did not commit, eventually getting arrested after a battle with Tony Stark and pro-Accords Avengers. Barton returned to retirement and, after striking a deal with Ross, was placed under house arrest. In the wake of the Snap, Barton lost his family and went on a grief-fuelled rampage against criminals for five years as a vigilante known as Ronin. In 2023, Black Widow convinced Barton to return to the Avengers in attempt to resurrect the victims of the Snap. Hawkeye joined the team in enacting the Time Heist in order to obtain the Infinity Stones from alternate timelines.
