hi there! as the foremost clint barton expert on this site, i have what i hope is a fun question for you: do you have any favorite underrated/often forgot about friendships between clint and any other heroes? in my writing i'm realizing i kinda default to the same like 3 characters and it would be fun to expand that roster, but also my read through of his comics is very, very slow going lol. thanks for existing, and ofc no pressure to answer if you don't want to! 🫡

would love to know what the 3 characters are in case i end up accidentally picking one--i'm gonna assume cap and tony are out, and anyone more cap-affiliated, as well as long-term relationships, so i'll skip those. here goes:

clint and rhodey had a good thing going in the 90s

disrobing while having home-cooked chili with the bros

so much so that they were called "brothers in arms" (it was the 90s. don't ask.), and clint also happened to regularly appear with rhodey in the 90s iron man cartoon (wearing his ugly 90s costume. don't ask). it started with rhodey, as iron man, being on the first iteration of the west coast avengers when clint opened up shop. he was at the inaugural bbq!

in the wca, bbqs always followed a moment of respect and admiration, or when you gazed longingly at your teammate, or on sundays, or when you cleaned the fridge

after bobbi died, rhodey was one of the only avengers clint "let in" and seemed close to for a bit. they briefly channeled their friendship again when clint was ronin and appeared in an issue of war machine around that time (it was a mini wca reunion), but the friendship's been kind of forgotten in the comics. rip

2. clint and wanda have been good friends since starting out in the avengers together as ~reformed villains~ on cap's kooky quartet. our favorite annoying (ok that was almost entirely on clint's end) 19-21yos grew into their own and have remained close as a result

they've gone shopping together. they have diner dates.

once again, chili is involved.

mind you the friendship got strained when she killed him twice, but he...got over it? whatever. pietro can tag along if he wants

3. clint and pietro. just kidding! they're haters. if pietro killed clint twice he would say yeah that checks out and shoot acid at his shoes. but they love to hate each other. even now, pietro thinks he's winning the hating game by saying his eulogy will be better than clint's

pietro has never tried clint's chili

but clint is actually winning the hating game bc he already had a eulogy, and by eulogy i mean he ensured he had no eulogy and thus it consisted of 0 words.

clint could show up at pietro's funeral and say "lol" and it would meet pietro's standards. it's called playing the long game

4. for historical accuracy i should mention clint and hank pym were always friendly when on the same roster.

now i'm going to be honest with you. i have no idea what the current status is regarding hank. last i remember he was basically dead and ultron had taken over most of his body robocop style? a controversial entry i guess. i doubt you'll find yourself in a situation where you're writing hank pym if you're not in the weeds but there we go. the friendship dynamic was transferred to the emh cartoon iirc

there isn't a panel confirming hank actually tasted clint's chili and that's why he's dead(?) now.

5. hawkeye and two-gun kid. i also doubt you will ever end up writing the two-gun kid; i just want everyone to remember that clint is obsessed with cowboys. he once left the avengers and ran off to a dude ranch with this time-displaced cowboy (clint brought him to the future), and when clint was time-displaced a different time, he immediately sought out this cowboy.

they had chili here

6. clint and jen started out competitive, and by that i mean clint was being a dick and then he broke his leg so he sulked about it. jen threw a taxi at him. deserved. they've always had a sort of will-they-won't-they energy going on; and one time, they did--in an alternate universe (don't ask). jen cured clint of misogyny (this is a joke). thanks, jen.

you'll notice two-gun is also here....

7. karla sofen is not a hero. karla sofen is arguably not a friend. this is like "are they lovers?" "worse." but the other way around?

you probably can't have a situation where clint and karla roll up to have a casual conversation out of nowhere. this doesn't fit your prompt at all. i just wanted to remind everyone that karla and clint had a real thing. an indescribable thing.

karla hates clint's chili. karla will tell clint she hates his chili. but by god is karla eating it

8. i wasn't gonna put clint and jan bc they technically had a relationship as well, but jan loves clint. clint loves jan. consistently best buds!

9. clint and khonshu. i'm just kidding, this is a one-sided crush on khonshu's end

because he lacks a corporeal form, khonshu is unable to taste hawkeye's chili. but he wants to. he wants to.

Fake comic cover for Mighty Marvel Western #1/5!

During a West Coast Avengers mission Mockingbird accidentally activates a time machine that sends her back to the Wild West! Hawkeye goes after her but an error causes him to arrive several months after she did. After a run-in with the mysterious Red Ace Gang, Hawkeye teams up with the Two-Gun Kid to take them down while he searches for his ex-wife.

Marvel hire me to write this comic for real. I've never written a comic before. I think it'll work.

[all-action-all-picture]

Two-Gun Kid: The Sunset Riders No. 1, dated November 1995. The interior story and art really didn't live up to this cover by Bob Wakelin (1952-2018).

Bob is best remembered for his computer game box art and to UK comic readers for his painted covers for Marvel UK, the London Editions DC reprint line and Starlord weekly from IPC. The Starlord covers aren't always remembered for the right reasons though and if you search for Starlord No. 14 on this blog then you'll see what I mean.

In case you don't know, the Kid had travelled into the future at one point in the pages of The Avengers and presumably this is how he came to be in possession of an Intratec TEC-9 sub-machine gun on this cover. Marvel.

ship meme your fave marvel ship 1, 2, 5, 15?

Legit a hard pick so I'm going with Two-Gun Kid (Matt Hawk)/Hawkeye (Clint Barton), simply because Two-Gun Kid's behavior makes absolutely no sense unless he's super gay for Hawkeye and I do not say this lightly. I don't necessarily think they're like, endgame or anything but there's SOMETHING going on there.

What made you first ship them?

hard to pick out the exact moment. I think it was the moment when Clint got pulled back to Ancient Egypt and died there. When he did, Clint's wife Bobbi Morse, who was with Matt in 1873 at the time, felt it through space time even though literal milennia were between her and Clint. She described it as "a chill-- as if everything I loved in the world has died--!" Matt's response? "The same chill she talked about has just shot through me as well!" (West Coast Avengers Vol 1 21)

That was the moment where it was like, indisputably, "Ok there is something very much Not Straight going on here" though Matt's reaction to Clint being trapped in the past in 1873 is a close second. (West Coast Avengers Vol 1 18)

Though there's also great hits like "Johnny Blaze teaches Matt how to ride a motorcycle and Hawkeye immediately starts moping about how Matt doesn't want to hang out with him anymore and is going to ditch him and go back to the past Literally Any Day Now" (Ghost Rider Vol 2 27)

2. Favorite canon scene between them?

[ID: Hawkeye and Two-Gun Kid, silhouetted, riding into the sunset. Hawkeye says, "Don't worry about it, Two-Gun! We're up here alive~ riding into the sunset! Can't you tell a happy ending when you see one?" End ID]

From Marvel Tales Vol 1 100

Honestly this scene is a bit melancholy for me. It's a happy ending to a nice little tale but it was published after Matt had already returned to the past. And Matt, of course, got anything but a happy ending, because of the way the TVA completely slammed the hammer down on him. So while I can't say I feel like Matt's time in the future was worth it considering everything he lost, I hope he had a lot of good moments like this.

5. Biggest in-universe supporter of the ship?

Is it cheating to say Matt?

Canonically I don't think anyone's actually commented or given any actual opinions on their dynamic, but if they did I think the person who would most likely think they were a cute couple is She-Hulk. Maybe Kid Colt, purely on the grounds that I believe that man is always pro gay sex even if he's not involved.

Rawhide Kid fucking hates it though. Even if there's no ulterior reasons for Rawhide to be jealous, he has so few friends and allies that one of them running off to the future even for just a little while would piss him off so badly.

15. What's something they love to do together?

Canonically, listen to country music- Hawkeye got Matt hooked on Patsy Cline. (She-Hulk Vol 2 5) They also roadtripped all over the west together, on and off horseback. They also have had at least one sharpshooting competition (Hulked Out Heroes Vol 1 1) and Clint taught Matt how to shoot a bow (Two-Gun Kid: Sunset Riders Vol 1 1) so I think it's safe to say there's a lot of road signs scattered along the Arizona highways and country side with bullet holes in them. I am willing to bet they raced each other a lot too.
