About me: Clinton Francis Barton
(616 Clint Barton, not MCU)
S/O: Bisexual
Clint Barton was born in Waverly Iowa to Edith Barton and Harold Barton, along with his brother Barney Barton. His childhood was rather untraditional, having lived with an abusive alcoholic father and being partially defended because of it. The majority of his childhood, however, was not spent with his parents as Harold took Edith on a drive while drinking and crashed, resulting in the death of both of his parents. After this, both Barney and Clint were taken into the social care system, being moved to yet another abusive household.
In order to escape this home, Barney and Clint ran, running into the circus in town and deciding to join up. This is where Clint would begin his adventure as the famous Hawkeye. After playing around with Jacques', the swordsmaster, bow he realized there was more to Clint. Clint would spend day in and day out practicing to get his now well known uncanny ability to never miss also acquiring his acrobatic abilities.
Later on, in their circus adventures, Clint discovered Jacques was stealing from the circus and Clint reported him. This landed him in the hospital with his brother stating it was Clint's fault for even getting involved. Another figure would enter, Trickshot, who would take Clint under his wing, essentially teaching him his astounding tricks he uses to this day. Unfortunately, Trickshot was only training Clint to help him rob locals homes. When Clint realized what was happening, he refused and Trickshot shot him,leaving him pinned to a tree for dead.
After these unfortunate events, Clint would have a run in with Iron Man, deciding he was going to be a hero too. After a confusing ride of events with the law and Black Widow, Clint would land himself in the Avengers with Pietro Maximoff and Wanda Maximoff, also known as the kooky quartet.
Clint eventually would take a break and meet his now ex wife, Bobbi Morse aka Mockingbird. He would then start up the West Coast Avengers and later in life also run the Thunderbolts, and Secret Avengers.
During a period of time he was dead... twice... which was incredibly confusing considering who was responsible and how that ended up for him (youll have to ask its too complicated) and has unfortunately struggled to get rebalanced since. After being defeaned once more in both ears and everyone believing he actually shot Captain America with an arrow for a solid hot minute (he didnt it was Bullseye ok) he is now trying his best to balance a new team of the Thunderbolts and fixing his life after a series of reallllly bad choices.
