Hawkeye is Trash

Clint Barton is Hawkeye, a hero with no super powers. Clint Barton is a normal man, who happens to also be deaf. He's made a name for himself throughout the Marvel universe by being the best archer and generally one of the most accurate characters in the universe. During his time as a hero Clint has served on many teams most notably The Avengers. He's died and been resurrected but one thing that remains constant is heroic drive to help people. He's also trash.

1. He was initially just a Green Arrow clone. Appearing 23 years after Oliver Queen suited up as Green Arrow.

2. He's the real villain in The Avengers movies. He tried to fist fight Loki. He was mind controlled. When he tried to kill the team they swiped him aside

3. He only carries 20 arrows. What happens when he runs out? He gets beat up

4. He died because his explosive arrows were lit on fire and he couldn't take off his quiver.

5. Why can he not remove his quiver quickly?

6. He's taken the circus act too far. Being good in the circus doesn't mean you get to be a hero.

7. Has a history of having some of the worst costumes in comic book history.

8. His enemies are guys named Trapster and Egghead.

9. Trapster sets traps and uses a glue gun and regularly gives Hawkeye a run for his money.

10. Hawkeye killed Egghead by plugging his gun barrel with an arrow. Loony Tunes style.

11. His vehicle is a "sky cycle" basically a segway that floats. Great job with that one.

12. He was trained in hand to hand combat by Steve Rogers and still couldn't become his replacement as Captain America

13. Even Jeremy Renner thinks he sucked

14. Hawkeye had less screen time in The Avengers than Black Widow did in Iron Man.

15. Other heroes tell him take a night off because it's too dangerous and he listens.

16.  Kate Bishop is better at his job than he is.

17. Hawkguy.

18. He's trying to hard. He regularly ends up severely injured...or dead. He just needs that praise

19. Better as a spy than hero but doesn't learn his lesson no matter how many times he gets beat up.

20. It was hard making coming up with 19 reasons why Hawkeye is trash because there's barely any history to the character other than just being around better characters. He didn't even have a personality until Matt Fraction pulled one out of thin air.
