Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck, the character of Hawkeye first appeared as a supervillain in Tales of Suspense #57 in 1964. He later put his archery skills to better use when he joined the Avengers as a superhero in The Avengers #16 in 1965.
Unlike most of the other heroes within the Avengers, he doesn’t have any superpowers to speak of. However, his comic book incarnation often possesses peak physical strength and is an expert fencer, acrobat and marksman.
Hawkseye is yet to have his own standalone movie, which will come as a disappointment to his many fans. However, he does play a major role in the movies he appears in and he did get his own TV show in 2021 with Jeremy Renner returning as the bow and arrow-wielding hero.
