Clint Barton: Hawkeye Appreciation 2023

[Dermie]

On the subject of Clint's costumes, Hawkeye is another character whom I'd love to see get one of the Russell Dauterman costume gallery variant covers this year!

Clint certainly has more than enough different looks to qualify!
- his outfit when he was in the circus, training under Swordsman and Trickshot
- his original Hawkeye outfit
- his classic Avengers era outfit
- the miniskirt costume
- the long-sleeve outfit he wore when the WCA started
- the bulletproof armour suit
- the variant costume he had in his 2nd miniseries (the one just after Mockingbird 'died')
- the 90s-style costume he wore around the time of "The Crossing"
- his "Avengers Forever" look which was part of his Goliath costume, without the harness and using bow and arrows.
- his first Thunderbolts-era costume
- the new costume he got after he returned to the Avengers post-T-Bolts; the one with the one armoured sleeve
- there are at least two or three different versions of his Ultimates/MCU-style shades-and-tactical gear outfit.
- current T-Bolts version costume

Plus there are the actual Ultimates versions. Heroes Reborn versions. The "Bowman" variant from AVENGERS vol.3 #2-3. His "Golden Archer" identity that he used for one issue. He was Captain America for a single issue between Steve Rogers' death and Bucky taking over as the new Cap. There were two issues of WCA where Clint wore a Goliath costume that was orange and brown instead of red and blue due to colourist error. And for just fun they can throw in the "Hawk block" look from Fraction's run--naked Clint with a classic headshot as a modesty censor.

Any others?

If it counts, don't forget about Ronin

[Dermie]

Yes, Ronin and Goliath absolutely count! I thought I had included them on my list, but apparently I jumped right over both of them (and yet remembered to include his two Goliath-variant outfits). Whoops!

[Matternativ]

That would be great.
I know it's edgy, from a bad comic and very of it's time but I always had a soft spot for the ultimate outfit.


Another one I really enjoy was the Heroes Reborn one-shot look.

Goliath definitely counts...

Actually want to ask aside from Old Man Hawkeye having a beard. Does anyone have a panel that shows him his younger self with a beard?

[Matternativ]

He's been rocking stubbles as of late and I seem to recall that he did that before in both his 98 and 03(?) solos but I don't really recall a genuine beard outside of his old man look.

If it counts, don't forget about Ronin

This felt more in-line with comic Hawkeye than how Fraction tended to write him in the solo book.

There's also his kinda brutal fight with Archangel by Fraction during AvX.
The man knows it's all about the tone of the story in question.

I know which Clint I prefer .

[Matternativ]

I wonder

[LAWtoyoto 432]

Oh gosh, this thread is super quiet. I guess it's already half the year of 2023, and nothing much of Clint Barton other than a cameo and being a background character.

Didn't his future version have a beard in All-New Hawkeye? It's not present Hawkeye, but it's younger than the Old Man version.

He also has heavy stubble at the beginning of issue #2 in Hawkeye vol. 1, which isn't quite a beard, but it's something.

Yeah...unfortunately.

[Matternativ]

I have some hope he'll have a role to play in Avengers Beyond considering it's a sequel to a comic that did feature him throughout one fun chapter but that's all I can even think of where he would potentially turn up.

[Dermie]

He recently turned up in a small guest appearance in an issue of MOON KNIGHT and he had a flashback cameo in the latest INVINCIBLE IRON MAN along with Mockingbird, Wonder Man and Tigra in the early WCA days.

There is a big party scene in next month's CAPTAIN MARVEL #50 which seems to involve a lot of Avengers and other heroes, so I wouldn't be surprised if Clint has a cameo there too.

Its not much, but its a start. Hopefully something more substantial will come along soon.
