He's the Avenger who proves you don't need powers to be a hero—just skill, courage, and heart. Jeremy Renner's portrayal in the MCU has shown Clint as the team's grounding force, the family man who keeps fighting because someone has to.

AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY WATCH
LIKELYHawkeye is an original Avenger with strong Doomsday potential. Clint has been with the team since the beginning. The "Hawkeye" Disney+ series established his legacy and introduced Kate Bishop. For a final Avengers battle, having the original team members—including Clint—would be essential for emotional impact.

The World's Greatest Marksman
Hawkeye first appeared in Tales of Suspense #57 (September 1964), created by Stan Lee and Don Heck. He debuted as a villain, manipulated by Black Widow (then a Soviet spy) into fighting Iron Man. But Clint quickly reformed and joined the Avengers, becoming one of the team's most loyal members despite having no superpowers.
Clint's journey from carnival performer to Avenger is one of Marvel's great redemption stories. He grew up in an abusive home, ran away to join the circus, and was trained by the villainous Swordsman and Trick Shot. When he saw Iron Man in action, he decided to become a hero—though his first attempts went poorly. His persistence and skill eventually earned him a place among Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Over the decades, Clint has led the West Coast Avengers, taken on the identity of Ronin, and mentored the next generation of heroes. His relationship with Black Widow, his rivalry with various villains, and his role as the team's conscience have made him indispensable. He's proof that heart matters more than powers.

MCU: Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton
Jeremy Renner first appeared as Hawkeye in "Thor" (2011) and became a full Avenger in "The Avengers" (2012). His portrayal emphasized Clint's humanity—he's the guy with a family, the one who keeps the team grounded. His mind-control by Loki and subsequent guilt drove much of his character arc.
"Avengers: Endgame" showed Clint's darkest chapter as Ronin, hunting criminals after losing his family to the Snap. The "Hawkeye" Disney+ series (2021) explored his legacy, his hearing loss, and his relationship with Kate Bishop. It also addressed his time as Ronin and his connection to Black Widow's death.
