SHOW NOTES:
-
Intro
-
Shoutout to The Struggle Bus – a bi-weekly advice podcast hosted by Katharine & Sally – they answer questions and offer opinions, it’s mental health without judgment
-
-
Background (4:16)
-
Hawkeye, Clint Barton – created by Stan Lee & Don Heck in Tales of Suspense #57 (Sept. 1964)
-
Orphaned as a young boy – he and his brother Barney joined the circus
-
Grew up as a circus performer with incredible aim with projectiles, particularly a bow & arrow
-
Used his skills initially as a thief before reforming and becoming an Avenger
-
Met, fell in love with, and marries Bobbi Morse, aka Mockingbird, a former SHIELD agent turned Avenger – rendered mostly deaf after use of a sonic arrow to defeat Crossfire
-
Marriage became strained, and they break up – begins dating Jessica Drew, aka Spider-Woman
-
As series begins, he is living in an apartment building in Bed-Stuy that is under assault by Russian mob – he and Kate Bishop, also Hawkeye, defend the building and its tenants – Clint buys the building and becomes de facto superintendent, but learns it’s much bigger than one building
-
Clint begins regretting taking on all the responsibility, but realizes no one else will do it, and despite his repeated assurances that he can do it alone, he needs help
-
Unfortunately, his attitude drives Kate away to LA (and she took the dog with her) – she deals with Madam Masque
-
His brother Barney shows up to help Clint, and takes a beating intended for Clint before stealing a ton of cash from him and leaving
-
In the end, the good guys win, but at a cost
-
-
Issues (11:38)
-
Clint’s lone wolf mindset gets him in trouble

Despite that, he gives people chances, even if it comes back to bite him
