Hawkeye's been known as a skilled archer who relies on his skills as much as technology. But it seems this legendary Marvel character just went through a super upgrade. So much so, he can now take on even Iron Man and his mighty powers.
A New Hawkeye Takes Aim
This version of Hawkeye is coming in a major new way in the new Marvel's Ultimate Universe! It seems there's a brand new Hawkeye who really lives up to his reputation and has technology that might just give him the strength to be as mighty as Iron Man! This series was introduced with the character Clint Barton. The iconic archer that had a distinct lack of interest in his new power! It's kind of funny! The big moment comes as he's handed over the awesome tech by none other than Tony Stark.
The character, a super genius! Has no real time for these powers!
In Ultimates #5 (from Deniz Camp, Juan Frigeri, Federico Blee and Travis Lanham) the show takes a big step as audiences get to meet a new Hawkeye!
What was so unique? They're trying to take down this big corporation known as Roxxon! If anyone who follows Marvel or its crazy villains, this group may not be a super popular bad guy but they really go against the grain and seem to always be working with a sinister plot.
Iron Lad, a unique iteration of the super-genius! Calls for help from the original Captain America! To get the job done and help track down this new Hawkeye, that's now armed with awesome, game changing weaponry.
The Hawkeye Upgrade:
Iron Lad was confident, but what might have gotten him upset? There is a fear that this awesome new weapon is going to go out of control!
Even more terrifying. Is the possibility that these awesome, new weapons have the potential to create another enemy! What's extra interesting, and could be really frightening to those following Iron Lad's journey in the new Marvel Universe is this potential threat! This could make it a lot harder for Iron Lad to gain some new allies!
Let's break it down.
There's nothing like some advanced weaponry in Marvel Comics.
- In a moment of truth Iron Lad tells Captain America. It seems he gave a quiver of awesome arrows to Clint Barton.
- The idea? It was designed to allow a true skilled archer the potential to defeat an entire army!
- Barton did a really crazy thing, not only ignoring these advanced abilities but decided that these powers were more trouble!
- And that wasn't all!
What makes this even more intriguing? Iron Lad doesn't even think that the latest iteration is ready for this power.
This powerful quiver could destroy even the largest tank, a battleship at 40 miles away, in a blink of an eye. In Ultimates #5 there's another moment, a truly exciting moment. As Captain America goes toe to toe with this latest Hawkeye, you can't ignore the weapons. That makes this Hawkeye a big, serious threat! The repulsor technology that Iron Man is known for! A real game changer! What's so amazing, is it shows that even when Iron Man hands these technologies off they have immense power. It doesn't always go exactly as planned for him.
Why Tony would be worried! The tech that's so powerful might be given to the wrong person.
The Ultimates Universe
A new and awesome series in Marvel Comics! A world that was recreated and reshaped by a powerful genius. A time traveler named The Maker, who put a halt to many powerful heroes in the Marvel Universe. These heroes are iconic, so when they vanished or lost their skills fans knew that something serious went wrong!
Iron Lad and his team have a tough task. What makes this even more terrifying? The heroes in this universe are dedicated to trying to save the world!
- The latest mission was to gather the most formidable allies and convince these new, potentially empowered characters, who had amazing skills to join their ranks! They have an incredibly difficult job.
- It turns out that some of the early heroes did an amazing thing and brought the team their own success.
However, it was an unfortunate, not really unexpected disaster, that came about with a shocking revelation for Iron Lad.
- Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel) didn't go exactly as Iron Lad wanted.
- She ended up taking some lives, in an accidental occurrence.
- Spider-Man (one of the greatest successes) but in this reality, Spider-Man didn't turn out so bad.
- All this meant that Iron Lad would have to tread carefully because even when using the best tech and powers it seems nothing really goes the way that he intended.
A New Hawkeye In Marvel Comics
The new version of Hawkeye is an amazing creation. His awesome arrows will make him stand apart and the MCU, has shown these abilities, too.
- He's going to get the technology from some incredible heroes: Hank Pym and Hulk! It seemed like these characters were going to put their hearts and souls into this endeavor.
- "Hawkeye," has some powerful arrows and looks to make an even more dynamic and explosive entrance.
One thing that was an unexpected element to Hawkeye's power! His ability to change direction midflight for his arrows is definitely something to look forward to.
Captain America and Hawkeye Together Again:
What makes this so fascinating is this incredible dynamic!
The Hawkeye we are about to get, seems to have a big connection to a powerful supervillain.
The relationship between Captain America and Hawkeye has evolved a bit over time!
- In Ultimates it seems there will be a very interesting element to their dynamic
- You get to see these characters really stand on opposite sides.
The "Ultimates" series has really added in social justice commentary.
- There is this cool aspect that they try to incorporate as much diversity. A really fantastic aspect that they bring together.
- Captain America and Hawkeye are from very different backgrounds that they are navigating.
- Captain America is trying to do all he can to right wrongs but he was frozen for a long period of time, meaning he's having a lot of troubles understanding why things have become so complex.
What makes it so thrilling for audiences is this unique view into Captain America and his fight. In the earlier days of Marvel from the 2000s he was considered someone who supported the government. This really made Hawkeye become more rebellious.
It looks like things are a lot more interesting! Now that Captain America has taken such a bold, dangerous position to stand against The Maker it seems his stance against this terrible power. What is so incredible is the power behind "Hawkeye" that he's an impressive match and the Ultimates series might bring us a brand new world of exciting, shocking and truly interesting twists that have us guessing.
Get ready because this issue of Ultimates #5 is coming from Marvel! If you're looking for the right, awesome comics it will come out on October 9th. This might even just be the first, exciting encounter! Get to see how they really team up together and give a truly intense experience.
