Fictional Character Biography
Clint Barton was born in Waverly, Iowa. At a young age he lost both of his parents in a car accident. After six years in an orphanage, Clint and his brother Barney ran away to join the Carson Carnival of Travelling Wonders. Clint soon caught the eye of the Swordsman, who took the young boy on as his assistant. Along with the help of Trick Shot, the Swordsman trained Clint to become a master archer. Clint later found the Swordsman embezzling money from the carnival.
Before he could turn his mentor over to the authorities, Clint was
beaten and left for dead, allowing the Swordsman to skip town. Clint's relationship with his brother Barney and Trick Shot soon deteriorated as well.
Clint adapted his archery skills to become a star carnival
attraction, a master archer called "Hawkeye", otherwise known as “The
World’s Greatest Marksman”. He spent some time as a member of Tiboldt's Circus, before joining the Coney Island Circus. He witnessed Iron Man
in action and was inspired to become a costumed hero. However, after a
misunderstanding on his first outing, Hawkeye was accused of theft and
believed to be a criminal. On the run, the naive Hawkeye met the Black Widow, a spy for the Soviet Union, with whom he fell in love. Blindly following the Black Widow, Hawkeye aided her attempts to steal technology developed by Tony Stark.
In one of their battles with Iron Man, the Black Widow was seriously
injured. Hawkeye rescued her and fled the battle to save her life. But
before Hawkeye could take her to a hospital, the Black Widow
disappeared. Hawkeye decided to be a "straight-shooter" from then on.
Powers and Abilities (Hawkeye)
While Hawkeye has no superhuman powers (with the exception of the period when using Pym particles
to become Goliath), he is at the very peak of human conditioning; he is
an exceptional fencer, acrobat and a grandmaster marksman, having been
trained from childhood in the circus and by the criminals Trick Shot and Swordsman. This includes considerable strength, as a supervillain found out when he tried to use the superhero's 250 pounds-force (1,100 newtons) draw weight bow and found that he could not draw back the string to launch an arrow.
Hawkeye has also been thoroughly trained by Captain America in
tactics, martial arts, and hand-to-hand combat. Hawkeye excels in the
use of ranged weapons, especially the bow and arrow, and carries a
quiver containing a number of customized "trick arrows". In his role as Ronin, Barton shows great proficiency with the katana and other melee
weapons. He has gained a reputation for being able to "turn any object
into a weapon", and has been seen using items such as tin plates, coins,
sticks and other debris to great effect against his enemies.

Hawkeye is also known to use a "Sky-Cycle" as his mode of
transportation. The Sky-Cycle is modelled after a commercial snowmobile
and is fitted with anti-gravitational technology. It is voice operated
and has an auto-pilot steering system. The original Sky-Cycle was custom
made for Hawkeye by Jorge Latham while he was employed by Cross Technological Enterprises. Latham was later employed by the West Coast Avengers and built several more.
