Hawkeye, or Clint Barton, is a minifigure for the Super Heroes theme.
Description
Hawkeye has a double sided face depicting him serious with glasses and angry without them on the other side. Hawkeye's hair piece is Part 92001 in dark orange. His torso depicts armour with a dark red arrowhead stripe down the center, along with his quiver strap and part of a belt on the bottom. He has back printing depicting his armour and the back of the strap with his quiver full of arrows. He has black legs with the hips continuing the belt and straps on his legs. His arms and one hand is in flesh, but the other is black. He comes with a new compound bow part.
The minifigure is based on his appearance in The Avengers.
Background
S.H.I.E.L.D Agent Barton, also known as Hawkeye, acted as a sniper with his bow and arrow during Thor's assault on a S.H.I.E.L.D. compound erected around his hammer, Mjolnir, which Thor tried to reclaim. However, he was never ordered to take a shot so took no action from his position.
Some time after the Asgardian battle in New Mexico, Hawkeye was assigned to guarding the Tesseract (or Cosmic Cube). While on duty, Loki arrived, using the Tesseract to transport him, and then stole it. Loki then used his staff to put Hawkeye under his control, and Loki tasked him with collecting the items that the likewise mind-controlled Dr. Selvig needed to open Loki's portal. Hawkeye used an explosive arrow to pull the Helicarrier from the sky (and in the proccess caused Bruce Banner to turn into The Hulk). Hawkeye was returned was freed from Loki's spell when the Black Widow hit him in the head during a confrontation. He then joined the Avengers, which also consisted of Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, and Black Widow, to try to repel Loki and his Chitauri army which aimed to conquer the Earth.
Notes
- As a minifigure, his quiver is printed on his back, rather than it being the actual element, which is odd considering his hair doesn't prevent using the part. It is suggested this is because he can't fit in the seat of the Quinjet, the truck, or his jet without removing the quiver piece.
- In the preliminary version, his headpiece and hairpiece are the same as Mutt Williams from Indiana Jones.
- In the film, he has short hair spiked in the front, the stripe down his front is purple, the quiver isn't attached by a strap as it just hooks on, and he doesn't wear archery glasses (though he is shown to be wearing them in some promotionals for the film).
