![]() ![]() In perhaps a testament to the power of the moniker, Kate Bishop has also become the most interesting Young Avenger, dodging the “kid-name” self-sabotage and simply claiming the mantle of Hawkeye for herself in the aftermath of Avengers Disassembled. In more recent years, Clint Barton has also showcased his leadership (Secret Avengers), and his unexpected ability to carry an all-time great Marvel series (during the Matt Fraction and David Aja Marvel NOW! run). After starting as a confused, petty criminal (teaming with Black Widow will do that to a guy), Hawkeye progressed from angry anti-authority Avenger, to regular member of the team, to ultimately leading his own crew out on the West Coast. One of my favorite aspects of Hawkeye is how the character grows as a hero, and as an Avenger through Marvel history. Hawkguy! Hawkeye was my first favorite Avenger (thank you bonkers 90’s Avengers video game!), and in many ways remains one of the best (and certainly the most fashionable in purple). ![]()
