Hawkeye ( Clint Barton) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck, the character first appeared as a supervillain in "Tales of Suspense" #57 (September 1964) and later joined the Avengers as a superhero in "The Avengers" #16 (May 1965). He has since been a prominent member of several Avengers teams, founding the West Coast Avengers, briefly marrying and subsequently divorcing Bobbi Morse / Mockingbird.

He was also ranked at #44 in the Top 100 Comic Book Heroes list. Clint Barton was born in Waverly, Iowa. At a young age he lost both of his parents in a car crash. After six years in an orphanage, Clint and his brother Barney Barton ran away to join the Carson Carnival of Traveling Wonders. Clint soon caught the eye of the Swordsman, who took the young boy on as his assistant. Along with the help of Trick Shot, the Swordsman trained Clint to become a master archer. Clint later found the Swordsman embezzling money from the carnival. Before he could turn his mentor over to the authorities, Clint was beaten and left for dead, allowing the Swordsman to escape town. Clint's relationship with his brother Barney and Trick Shot soon deteriorated as well.

Jeremy Renner portrayed the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films "Thor" (2011), "The Avengers" (2012), "Avengers: Age of Ultron" (2015), "Captain America: Civil War" (2016) and "Avengers: Endgame" (2019).
