Clinton Francis "Clint" Barton, also known as Hawkeye (born January 7, 1971), is a major character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He is a legendary archer and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who was originally enthralled by the Norse god Loki, but was freed from his control and joined the Avengers. Stopping the villain in New York, Hawkeye continued his service to the Avengers by battling against Ultron, which was created by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, but soon retired to remain with his family. Barton would return to assist Captain America in reaching to Siberia to stop Helmut Zemo, but was apprehended by Iron Man's faction after clashing with them.
Rogers would break Clint and his allies out of the Raft, and he returned to his family until the snap occurred in 2018. Mourning the loss of his family, Barton became a assassin under the name "Ronin", but rejoined the Avengers in undoing the snap and later battling Thanos and his army during the battle of Earth. Despite the success of the blip, Barton still suffered from the loss of Romanoff, but would gain a partner in Kate Bishop, who idolized him for his heroics during the Chitauri invasion. Clint would assist her in fighting against Kingpin and the Tracksuit Mafia, and later have her share his codename.
