However, Maximoff had sensed a presence behind her, causing her to launch a knife towards the intruder.

As the battle raged on, Hawkeye continued to fight against Iron Man's team. Hawkeye about to fire Ant-Man on an arrow. As Falcon was being attacked by Iron Man while they flew over the airport, Hawkeye teamed up with Ant-Man to assist their ally, firing one of his arrows with Ant-Man riding on it so he was able to crawl inside and disable Iron Man's armor from the inside.

As planned, the arrow broke apart into several, smaller arrows, but was destroyed by Iron Man's repulsor blast, while Ant-Man had managed to then jump off the arrow, land on top of Iron Man and crawl inside his suit.

Hawkeye continues firing arrows at Iron Man. While Ant-Man was still disabling the suit from the inside, Hawkeye had continued to fire more of his arrows in order to distract Iron Man while Ant-Man continued doing his work.

As the team made their way to the getaway vehicle, they discussed how to best distract Iron Man during the escape.

Hawkeye introduces himself to Black Panther. Hawkeye shot another two arrows at the closing in Black Panther, but he managed to catch these arrows in mid-air before they exploded in his face, with his Panther Habit absorbing the explosions.

Resuming the attack, Hawkeye continued to distract Black Panther. Hawkeye being outmatched by Black Panther. Hawkeye managed to hold his own briefly but was defeated as Black Panther struck him in the face, broke his staff, and was knocked out, allowing Black Panther then chase down Captain America and Barnes.

However, despite the team's success, all of Captain America's allies were then arrested. Barton greets Tony Stark while inside the Raft. Following the Clash of the Avengers , Barton and all the other heroes who supported Captain America were captured and taken to the Raft , where they were imprisoned for their role in destroying the airport and defying the Sokovia Accords by impeding Bucky Barnes ' arrest.

When Tony Stark visited, Barton sarcastically applauded his arrival, taunting that "the Futurist" had just arrived.

Stark noted the Raft was built for criminals, to which Barton angrily claimed they were all now because of Stark trying to bring them down. Barton begins to mock Tony Stark 's ideals. Barton then noted how he, Sam Wilson and Wanda Maximoff had all become criminals now.

However, Stark refused to take Barton's bait, casually replying that he did not make the former Avengers readily break the law, his calm attitude at his former friends being imprisoned enraging Barton.

Stark pointed out Barton should have thought of his family before he chose to join Captain America and walked off, furthering angering Barton with his dismissal. Barton calling out Tony Stark for his actions. As Stark walked to Wilson's cell, Barton slammed on his cell wall and warned his friends to watch their back, as Stark was likely to break it; emphasizing his anger at his former teammate and making a clear reference to James Rhodes being seriously injured during their clash.

The Avengers leader, however, did not turn to look back at Barton for the remainder of his visit while he spoke with Wilson, also choosing to ignore Scott Lang as Lang then tried to insult him.

Barton continues his imprisonment in the Raft. Unwilling to let his friends be imprisoned, Steve Rogers returned and infiltrated the Raft to free Barton and the others.

Barton requested mustard for the two of them, joking with Lila how only her brothers preferred mayonnaise on hot dogs. Barton compliments his daughter 's shooting. Barton then watched as Lila took her shot, hitting the bullseye. He proudly congratulated his daughter, calling her "Hawkeye". As Lila went to collect her arrow, Laura called them over for lunch.

When Barton called for his daughter, he discovered that she was gone. Barton called out for Lila again, wondering where she had gone, but to no prevail. Confused by his daughter's sudden disappearance, Barton turned to where his wife and sons were, only to find them gone too. Barton discovers his daughter has vanished.

Starting to get very worried, Barton began to unsuccessfully search for his family around the homestead, unaware of what was happening. Barton could do nothing but desperately, and with great fear, call out for his family. Barton would eventually learn in complete horror that his wife and children actually perished alongside half of the universe's population, all thanks to Thanos obtaining the six Infinity Stones to commit the Snap , despite the best efforts of the Avengers to stop him.

Even when the other Avengers were able to successfully track down Thanos to the Garden several weeks later, it became all for naught as Thanos had already destroyed the Infinity Stones, before Thor proceeded to behead him with Stormbreaker , leaving the Avengers in utter defeat as they could not reverse the Snap without the Infinity Stones' power.

This left Barton completely devastated, as any hope of saving his family appeared to be lost forever, due to the complete destruction of the Infinity Stones and the death of Thanos. As a result of losing his family, Barton had embraced his grief and became Ronin, going on a path of vengeance against any criminals who had survived the Snap.

Using a new uniform and weaponry, including a Katana , Ronin travelled to Mexico where he ruthlessly murdered all members of Mexican Cartel. This resulted in Ronin being sought out by the remaining Avengers , as James Rhodes continued investigating Ronin's actions. Ronin furiously fighting against Akihiko. Ronin then found himself in Tokyo , Japan , where he planned to eliminate all members of the Yakuza faction there. Despite the great numbers and rapid gunfire, Ronin managed to make his way through all enemies with great ease, going through a building where he headed for Akihiko , a Yakuza operative.

The two then found themselves in the streets, where Akihiko questioned Ronin on his actions, which he informed him that it was the fact they survived and half the population didn't. The two then drew swords and began to fight. Ronin after murdering Akihiko with his sword. Despite the duel being fairly even, Ronin was able to cut Akihiko's throat, causing him to beg for his life, promising to give Ronin anything he wanted.

However, Ronin ignored his cries for mercy, stating that the only thing he wanted, which was his family, could not be given by Akihiko. He then finished off Akihiko, cleaned his sword, as he became aware of Romanoff standing behind him, telling her that she should not be there. Barton being reunited with Natasha Romanoff. But Romanoff believed that he should not either, but Barton informed her that it was all a part of a job that he believed he had to do.

Romanoff addressed how everyone he has murdered was not going to bring his family back, for which she then informed him a plan to bring everyone back. However, despite desperately wanting to be with his family, Barton initially rejected the idea, not wanting to be given hope, only for it to be taken away if it failed.

Barton being comforted by Natasha Romanoff. Romanoff, clearly seeing her best friend in distraught and what he had become, apologized for not giving hope to him sooner.

She then comforted him by holding his hand. The two then entered the Quinjet and flew back to the New Avengers Facility , in order to attempt to undo the actions of the Snap. Barton volunteering himself to test Time Travel. With Scott Lang giving the idea to use the Quantum Realm to travel back in time, the Avengers began to work on a way to successfully do so.

Barton watched as Lang prepared to test the time traveling, to see if it actually worked. However, after an accidental triggering of one of the last available Pym Particles , Lang stated that he couldn't do it. Barton then volunteered to do the test run and switched with Lang.

Nebula then helped Barton into the Advanced Tech Suit as Bruce Banner instructed him on some experiences he may have during the test.

Barton wears the Advanced Tech Suit. As they prepared, Rhodes and Lang expressed their thoughts on time travel, believing that changing the past changes the future, something Barton supported. However, Banner tried to explain how time travel actually worked, debunking all the examples of time travel seen in movies that Rhodes and Lang listed, stating that them going into the past is their future, and the present would be their past, which couldn't be changed by the new future.

Barton at his house in the past. Barton stood on the platform and waited to be transported through time, via the Quantum Realm. Banner counted down to when he activated the machine, causing Barton to be sent into the Quantum Realm. Barton navigated his way through, coming out at his home , before the Snap. Barton took a moment to adjust to being back in the past, before approaching his house, where he picked up a baseball mitt. He then overheard his children, causing him to call out to his daughter to try and see her again.

However, he was sent back to the present just before he could, narrowly missing his daughter. When he returned, he was temporarily discomforted by the travel, but quickly adjusted. Natasha Romanoff went to check on him and see if he was fine, which he told her he was.

He then informed the Avengers that their plan had worked, and he had successfully traveled through time, as he had brought the mitt back with him.

He threw the mitt to Tony Stark and they all began to brainstorm about the Infinity Stones. Through this experience, Barton was given hope again, and was now back to himself, although the Ronin identity still stuck with him.

Barton and James Rhodes listen to Thor. With the means of travel accounted for, the team then began brainstorming when and where they could retrieve the stones, addressing that they need to be specific where they travel to, as the stones have all crossed paths with most of them.

They decided to brief themselves on each stone and the history of where they've been. Thor told them about the Aether , but began to get off topic as he had not come to terms with some of the trauma in his life, including his mother 's death.

Barton listens to Nebula talk about Vormir. Rocket Raccoon then informed them about the Power Stone , which Peter Quill stole from Morag , and Nebula told them about the Soul Stone , and how Thanos also killed her sister there, too. They then refined their plan to retrieve all six stones the best way possible, as there was a time when three stones were on Earth at once. They then split the Avengers into small teams, each responsible for a different stone. The Avengers finish the Time Heist brainstorm.

However, they only had enough Pym Particles to send them back in time, and back to the present, meaning this was their only chance. Hawkeye walking to the Quantum Tunnel. The Avengers all then suited up in their Advanced Tech Suits and made their way to the platform, where Captain America gave them a speech about everything that had led up to that moment and how this was their only opportunity to change what had happened.

Hawkeye and Black Widow prepare to leave. Hawkeye was given a shrunken down Benatar to take with him so he and Black Widow could travel to Vormir, which Rocket Raccoon made him promise to return without any damages, which Barton casually agreed to.

Bruce Banner then activated the machine and they all were transported to the Quantum Realm , where they each traveled to their designated time.

Hawkeye and Black Widow on Morag in Hawkeye and Black Widow then boarded the Benatar and said goodbye to War Machine, who asked them to watch over each other. They then departed Morag and headed to Vormir , to retrieve the Soul Stone. Hawkeye and Black Widow travelling in space. As they traveled to Vormir, which Nebula had set the coordinates for, making their only requirement to not fall out of course, the two best friends enjoyed the sight of space travel.

They laughed with each other as Hawkeye mentioned that they had come a long way since being S. Hawkeye and Black Widow locate Red Skull. They soon arrived at the planet, which amazed Hawkeye, saying that what they were doing would be awesome if not for the circumstances. They then made their way through the planet, climbing up the mountain, which they found to be exhausting.

When Black Widow called Rocket a "Raccoon", Hawkeye stated that technically he was not a raccoon, but she didn't care. When they made it to the top of the mountain, they were greeted by the Red Skull , who alarmed them, causing them to draw their weapons at him. Hawkeye learning the cost for the Soul Stone. The Red Skull informed them that he was a guide for those seeking the Soul Stone, so Black Widow demanded that he show them where it was.

However, he informed them that it is never that simple. They learned that the stone was at the bottom of the cliff, and then the Red Skull told them that they had to make a sacrifice of what they love for the Soul Stone. Upon learning about the price to pay for the Soul Stone , Hawkeye and Black Widow took a moment to let the severity of the situation sink in. Hawkeye felt as if the Red Skull may be lying, but Black Widow believed that he was not and that a sacrifice is necessary.

She considered how Thanos arrived on Vormir and did not leave with Gamora , believing it not to be a coincidence with their current predicament. They then repeated what Captain America had said before their mission "whatever it takes", before accepting that one of them needed to sacrifice themselves for the stone.

After the fighting, it was discovered that the people replaced by the Skrulls were alive and well, including Bobbi. Reuniting with his wife, they were the first to be invited by Barnes to his Brooklyn safe house, offering it as a new base of operations for the fugitive New Avengers.

The team's first order of business became a search and rescue mission for the infant daughter of fellow teammate Luke Cage, abducted during the final Skrull conflict. Clint was infuriated at Norman Osborn 's rise to power- especially at the allegedly "former" villain's own Avengers group, secretly composed of super villains publicly masquerading in familiar heroic identities. Wanting to dissuade Osborn and his group from further sullying the Avengers' name and legacy, Clint and his New Avengers attempted to lure them into battle at the Hellfire Club 's former headquarters.

Instead, they were opposed by the Hood 's crime syndicate , sent in place of the new " Dark Avengers. Deducing Osborn's corrupt politics, Clint went to the media exposing his identity, denouncing the Dark Avengers, and revealing Osborn's ties to the Hood. His final words were a message encouraging the American public to resist Osborn's regime. This did not sit well with Clint's teammates as none of them were comfortable with him starting a public flame war without their consent, growing concerned for their general safety.

Despite this negative feedback, Clint remained on good terms with his friends. Aside from the New Avengers' missions, Clint's relationships with his individual teammates continued to develop. He was also particularly happy to be working with "classic" Avengers teammate and friend, Ms. Marvel Carol Danvers - especially coming off prior tensions with her former pro-registration Mighty Avengers team. He also came to trust James Barnes, gradually accepting him as the new Captain America as well as his valued friend and ally.

Clint also learned that Bobbi did not consider him her husband any longer, having had intentions to divorce him just prior to her abduction years before, although they somewhat successfully revived their relationship. It is also noteworthy, however, that he remained distrustful and cautious of Spider-Woman Jessica Drew during this time due to Skrull Queen Veranke's impersonation of her, reservations he apparently shared with teammate Luke Cage. Clint imprisoned by the Dark Avengers.

He was later unanimously voted as leader of the New Avengers, appointing Ms. Marvel as his deputy leader. The effects of the New Avengers' latter activities, however, placed Luke Cage in critical condition. Concurrently, Wolverine had also been temporarily exiled to the newly-created X-island, Utopia , residing out in San Francisco Bay and declared a mutant prison by Norman Osborn. Wanting to end Osborn's reign before the status of the superhero community worsened, Clint infiltrated Stark Tower.

While incapacitating a majority of the Dark Avengers in a failed assassination attempt on Norman Osborn, he ultimately became imprisoned as a bargaining tool against his own team. Fortunately, his friends were able to clear out, using the timing of the Dark Avengers' attack on their now-empty hideout to free Barton from captivity. Once they were safe in their auxiliary safe house, Clint apologized for his rogue behavior.

Steve Rogers then turned up, saying that they, as the Avengers, would right Osborn's wrongs, finally defeating the villains at the Siege Event of Asgard. Steve Rogers put together a new team of Avengers. Clint joined the team and returned to his Hawkeye identity although he encouraged Kate Bishop to keep the Hawkeye identity as well. He and Mockingbird were also members of the New Avengers, although Hawkeye later left the New Avengers when he received an Avengers priority call from the main team, claiming that he was only there to spend time with his wife.

With Mockingbird. Hawkeye aided Mockingbird and her anti-terrorist organization, the World Counter-terrorism Agency. Together, they thwarted Crossfire's illegal arms operation and encountered Lincoln Slade's descendant, Jaime Slade, who later went on to become the new Phantom Rider. Crossfire and the new Phantom Rider teamed up to battle the heroes. Hawkeye left the W.

However, he quickly rejoined after being informed by Steve Rogers that a kill list of international spies included Mockingbird. During the final battle with the new Ronin, Hawkeye received a strong blow to the head, which proved to be more serious than first thought.

While battling the Lethal Legion with the Avengers, Hawkeye's aim was faltering. Their diagnosis is that Hawkeye was steadily losing his sight and would soon go blind. Iron Man provided Hawkeye with technology that should stall the blindness.

Later, Trick Shot arrived at Avengers Tower on the brink of death. Trick Shot told Hawkeye that he was forced to train another archer, one who was as good as Hawkeye, before fainting in his arms. Hawkeye was later ambushed by his brother Barney Barton who was the one trained by Trick Shot who proclaimed himself the new Trickshot.

Barney manages to subdue Hawkeye and bring him to Baron Zemo. Zemo had the brothers duel to the death. Hawkeye, despite going blind, managed to best Trickshot in battle. Before teleporting away, Baron Zemo transferred Trickshot's criminal funds over to the "victor", Hawkeye, then taunted the hero for turning his brother against him.

In custody, Trickshot agreed to a bone marrow transplant to save his brother's sight, but only so he could battle Hawkeye again in the future.

Since that time, they have displayed a very curious chemistry, much to the consternation of Mockingbird. Hawkeye leading the Secret Avengers. Captain America left the leadership of the Secret Avengers in the hands of Clint. He then led the Secret Avengers against the Father , a mad scientist seeking an android takeover of Earth.

During the controversial struggle against the X-Men over the impending Earthbound arrival of the cataclysmic Phoenix Force , Hawkeye was active in the Avengers' efforts of retrieving Hope Summers , whom they believed was the key to averting the crisis. The preservation of the planet necessitating a means of destroying the Phoenix Force, the Avengers instead accidentally refracted the entity, bonding it to five X-Men in a showdown on the Moon.

When this crisis was over, Clint found a new purpose in his life, beginning to take more serious stock in his personal life outside of his various Avenger-related duties. First, he bought an apartment building in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn where he had recently begun living, out from under the unsavory thugs who were going to evict all of his neighbors by tripling their rent.

In the process, Hawkeye also adopted an injured dog named Arrow, which he later gave the name Lucky. With the help of his neighbors, Barton would eventually drive out the thugs. Unbeknownst to him, they answered to the Kingpin , who went on to put a hit out on Barton's head. Sometime following his adventures with Kate, Clint was approached by Bruce Banner , the hero also known as the Hulk.

While he had been cured of his condition and hadn't turned into the Hulk in almost a year, he gave Clint a specialized arrow tip for him to use to kill Banner if he gave any indication that he was transforming into the Hulk again. Months later, when the Inhuman precog Ulysses Cain had a vision that Banner was going to transform into the Hulk and kill everyone, a team of heroes went to Banner's secret lab and tried to calm him down.

Beast revealed that Banner had been secretly experimenting on himself with dead gamma cells, but Banner protested the accusation. Seeing his rising level of anger and frustration, Clint, hidden in the bushes nearby loosed the arrow and killed Banner.

For killing Banner, Clint was put on trial for murder [95] and was eventually acquitted. During an adventure investigating the polluted water of an Indian reservation, Hawkeye encountered Red Wolf who became his partner.

Clint came back into good standing with the rest of the superhero community as he became one of the leaders of the resistance against Hydra when they took over the United States.

After apprehending the Hood during an arms deal, Clint was outraged to learn that the court released him due to corruption in the mayor 's office. He decided to secretly return to his identity as Ronin to take the Hood down using more extreme methods that didn't fit with his public reputation as Hawkeye. As he kept ambushing various bases of the Hood's Gang , he donated the money he stole from them to help people.

One of Hood's employees, a teenager named Bryce Bandau , was able to deduce that that Ronin was indeed Hawkeye, [] and Clint brought Bryce on board with his mission. To operate as Ronin without revealing his true identity he tried a number of methods, which each eventually failed: using a short-range time machine invented by Kang the Conqueror , activating an a LMD of himself, and hiring a Skrull impersonator. All of these schemes got out of hand, leading his then-girlfriend, Linda Carter the Night Nurse to break up with him.

The plan came to a head when Bullseye discovered "Ronin"'s true identity and killed the Skrull Clint had hired, then mortally wounded Bryce. Hawkeye was finally able to beat him down.

After he left the scene, the criminals commented that Clint was "one of [them] now. Clint is a man who asks a lot of questions and hates authority. He takes his chances to become a superhero. He gets things done if someone he follows has to bend the rules and fight dirty. Clint looks up to Captain America as his mentor, though may argue with him most of the time. He tends to be outspoken on many occasions, but he is good-natured, friendly and laid-back at heart.

As Hawkeye or Ronin, Clint possesses no superhuman abilities. Although, because of his abilities, Nick Fury 's intel classified him as power level 4.
