Clinton "Clint" Barton[1] a.k.a. Hawkeye[37] is an American skilled marksman, archer, and former circus performer and minor super villain turned member of the Avengers, "Earth's Mightiest Heroes".[38] 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.[39] He has worked with Black Widow, whom he developed a strong friendship with.[40] For many years, he was married to fellow super hero Mockingbird,[41] and together they were the original founders of the West Coast Avengers.[42]
