When did he become the beast of all street levelers? The guy can really almost not lose in his respective arena. Let's take a look at what gives him beast status shall we.
H2h. Pure beast. Putting aside his patented marksman skill he went on a long stint as a pure h2h hero, Ronin. How many other famed marksman types would have enough balls to put down their trade mark bow or other projectile and face the superhero world with confidence. And the dude kicked major a** the whole time and stood toe to toe with anyone. He also showed skill with numerous weapons including kitana, nunchucks, knives etc...
Tactics and leadership. We'll the guy has been leader to several Avengers team including the West Coast Avengers. Him and Nat are probably about equal as the greatest SHIELD agents of All time. Which says a lot considering in the MU no group is greater then them in skill and ability. Ther is pretty much nothing he can't do. Theirs no ship, vehicle or under water craft he can't drive. Theirs no weapon he can't use with expert technics.
Trick arrows. Now we're talking. This in my opinion is one of his greatest strengths. No one...and I mean no one has more gadgets in character than Clint. Rather your watching A:EMH, any comic, Avengers movies or Assemble numerous trick arrows will be displayed. I'm willing to bet my left nut about 10 new arrows will used in A:AoU. The first had about 5-6 TAs. He has an arrow for every situation. His arrows range from smoke, spread, electrocution, explosive, putty, flame, proximity, homing, trackers, acid, pym, machine gun etc. and has ALL of them in character. He uses his TAs more than GA and has more in character gadgets than Batman by far. He has arrow for just about every encounter.
Second greatest strength... marksman feats. Simply put..he's gonna stick u. Remember the behind the back shot at like 700 feet away in the first Avengers movie. That's Hawkeye. Doesn't matter if it's cartoon version, comic or whatever he consistently has on par with the greatest or the greatest marksman feats with whatever weapon he puts his hands on. Ranging from his famous bow and arrow, gun turret or just simply tossing a penny in an enemy's weak spot from 200 feet. Dudes got u. Firing 8 arrows at a time and hitting all targets... Got u. Bouncing an arrow off 8 targets just to hit one... Monday. An opponents dodging feats don't even matter cuz he has some near stupidly ridiculous marksman feat that blows it out of the water. Combine any combination of TAs with his marksman feats and you'll see why he's nearly undefeatable on the street class level.
So what do u think? Is he boss class?
Sound off.
