Clint Barton

Clint Barton is a character from the Marvel and Marvel Cinematic Universe fandoms.

Earth 616
He was born in Waverly, Bremer County, Iowa. When he was a kid, he lost both of his parents. He used to be a problem child. He lived in many families, but he ran from all of them. Later he joined the circus, where he became a perfect acrobat. His mentors were Swordsman, a mysterious man who was one of the best sword fighters, and a great archer called Trick Shot. They taught Clint to fight with sword, dagger and a bow. Then Swordsman noticed his talent - he was able to shoot almost everything. He used him in many robberies. He found out that Swordsman is stealing money from the circus, but before he could say something to the principal, he was beaten by Swordsman. He switched many circuses, where he showed his archery under a nickname - Hawkeye. Luckily, one day Clint saw Iron Man saving a child from a burning car and he found out that he wants to help, too. He wanted to take a part of the Avengers - a famous superhero team. After a short stint as a misunderstood villain, he demonstrated his abilities and became an Avenger.

Over the years, he tried out various teams and identities. He operated as Goliath for a few years beginning in 1969, and spent some time on the Defengers.

Hawkeye became one of the symbols of the Avengers. When the Avengers opened up a new branch on the West Coast, he was the leader of the new team. After his wife, Mockingbird died, the West Coast Avengers shut down, and Clint took a break. Eventually, he returned to the Avengers, but he left them again and led another team, the Thunderbolts. This consisted of former villains who wanted to be heroes. Due to Clint's checkered past, he was able to empathize with the Thunderbolts and led them in their journey. Later, he went back to the Avengers, until he sacrificed his life to stop a Kree invasion. Scarlet Witch, who had caused the invasion using her reality-warping powers, brought him back to life. He became a part of the New Avengers, where he operated under a pseudonym Ronin. After the Siege crossover he came back to name Hawkeye and to the Avengers. In real year 2012 he became a part of the Secret Avengers.
