Clint Barton, the Avenging Archer, known as Hawkeye is a true Marvel Icon and a classic Avenger. Easily recognizable by his dominantly purple attire and weapon of choice, the bow and arrow. Further recognizable by his smart-mouthed, arrogant, yet lovable personality. A long time member of the once Mighty pre-disassembled Avengers, and voted 2nd greatest Avenger of ALL TIME in 2008 by CBR. Clint Barton is also a competent leader, with such teams as the Thunderbolts, West Coast Avengers, and New Avengers under his belt. One of the most staunch supporters of the Avengers' one-time anti-kill policy. However, currently he is hardly been recognizable as the Clint Barton many of us once knew and loved. He is forcedly written as a generic, angsty, gun-toting, ninja anti-hero known as Ronin, neglecting his superior archery skills except for in moments of extreme peril. The undersigned hereby agree that Hawkeye should return to his original, classic, iconic persona: Hawkeye the Archer. However, there is more to the persona than just a simple costume change and a different weapon of choice. It is a reparation of his base character traits that we ask for. Clint Barton must be the wise-cracking, scaoundrel of an Avenger as he used to be. He should also remember how firmly he stood as a supporter of the Avengers' no-kill policy. These can all be corrected by stricter editing on the part of Marvel's editors, and a little more respect for the character and continuity from certain writer(s).

im still seeing so many people in the comments talking about how much they miss the old clint and his sarcastic quips. its getting frustrating watching him stay trapped as this generic brooding version of himself while we wait for marvel to actually listen to what the fans want for once.

im still in shock at how many people feel the same way about clint. seeing all the love for his classic personality just proves we arent the only ones who miss the real hawkeye.

The movies ruined him. I miss the purple suit and the sass. Just let him be Hawkeye again for gods sake.

He was always the sarcastic guy on the team. Now hes just some generic grimdark guy with a sword. Give us the archer back.
