Hawkeye

Earth's Mightiest Marksman!

About Me


I was the younger of two sons born to a small business proprietor and his wife. When my parents were killed in an automobile accident when I was eight, my brother and I were placed in the state orphanage. At fourteen, Barney and I ran away from the institute to join a traveling carnival. There I apprenticed myself to the carnival's star attraction, the mysterious rogue known only as the Swordsman. Recognizing my natural flair for archery, the Swordsman agreed to tutor him in the art.
For eight hours every day for four years, I practiced with bow and arrow, and soon becoming good enough to perform professionally as a trick shooter under the name of Hawkeye the Marksman. When I was eighteen, I accidentally discovered that my mentor was stealing from the carnival management. When I refused to become his partner in crime, the Swordsman chased me up onto a tightrope and cut it out from under me. The Swordsman left me for dead and fled the carnival. Found by my brother Barney, I was rushed to a hospital and eventually recovered from the compound fractures to my legs. A year later, I rejoined the carnival and resumed my act.
One day I witnessed Iron Man in action, and decided to emulate him by donning a colorful costume and using my archery skills to battle crime. However, in my first public appearance as a masked hero, I was mistaken for a thief and found myself in battle with Iron Man. Weeks later, my attraction for the Russian spy Black Widow (who is HOT!!!) led me to commit further acts on the wrong side of the law. However, Iron Man soon learned of my true nature and sponsored me for Avengers membership.
I have been an active member of the Avengers for years, with my archery skills augmenting the superhuman powers of my associates. For a short time, I abandoned my Hawkeye identity, and taking Henry Pym's growth serum, operated under the name Goliath. I resumed my Hawkeye identity soon after.
I've got some vibranium arrows, and I'm lookin' for one final throwdown against ol' Shellhead.
Yo, Stark! Do you see yourself saying this? This is what it sounds like when you're saying the truth. I say that because you've probably forgotten what the truth sounds like.

My Interests



I'd like to meet:

The perfect woman.

And by "perfect," I mean "hot" and "won't try to kill me."
Beyond that, just people who aren't dumb enough to side with Iron Man in this whole thing. Like Cap would be wrong about something this important.

Heroes:

There's Captain America, and there's everyone else. I used to really look up to Iron Man, but his unconscionable behavior lately has totally changed my perspective on him.

I also admire T'Challa, Janet Van Dyne, Hercules, and Simon Williams, who has died and come back to life WAY more times than I have.
