Family: Clint Barton (Father), Laura Barton (Mother)
Height: 6"3 ft
Weight: 230 lbs
Appearance:
Civilian Attire:
Michael is a simple enough dressing guy, a casual pair of blue jeans and a shirt sometimes worn open to reveal a t-shirt or vest underneath. He's more fond of boots over sneakers or other footwear, so a nice pair of Doc Martin's can usually be seen. He's also always wearing a pair of tinted glasses, not because they make him look extremely cool but because he requires them. Michael also wears a piece of jewelry made from wooden beads around his neck and right wrist.
Personality:
For someone who makes a living of putting an arrow in someone faster then they can shoot him, Michael is a very likable fellow. Quite well known for his upbeat attitude and child like love of playing practical jokes. To think he was carefree would be to misjudge him entirely however.
Michael can be a very serious individual, he has gotten where is in life through acts of great discipline and drive, and often finds himself rather annoyed by super-powered peers who seem to take his abilities for granted, as his skills require extreme precision and concentration.

The Hero
Codename: Hawkeye
Hero Attire:
Powers: While not a "power" per say, Hawkeye has received S.H.I.E.L.D. treatments and booster serums to take his peak level reflexes, speed & agility and give it that extra oomph, allowing him to perform his famous feat of aiming and firing arrows faster then a normal person can aim and fire a gun. This upgrade is as much mental as it is physical, which explains his perfect accuracy despite often having far less time then even a top class archer or marksman would need to aim a shot.
Skills:
Master Archer/Marksman: Hawkeye is an extremely talented marksman, able to hit a perfect shot one hundred percent of the time, using anything. In abilities are in fact more like Bullseye's then his dad's, while his father specialized in "trick shots," this Hawkeye is better at hitting pin points at extreme range, with little or no timing, and hitting targets with anything he can get his hands on, from his favoured bow and arrow to assault rifles, pencils, throwing knives, his own fingernails flicked straight off his finger, darts, glasses. His skill is so supreme, he will likely never miss a shot with anything due to a mistake on his part. Outside and unexpected events putting off or interrupting a shot however, is a different story.
Pilot: Michael has completed every form of S.H.I.E.L.D. training in the operation and piloting of both planes and helicopters and is a licensed pilot as such. He is both experienced and intimidatingly aware of the specifics behind a wide variety of flying vehicles, able to pilot just about any flying vehicle with a high degree of practiced expertise refined by many successful missions of experience.
Hand-to-hand combat: While of course an expert in ranged combat, Hawkeye has also received extensive combat training. from both his own father who racked up a high degree of talent in both his days as Hawkeye and Ronin, and also he has received training from S.H.I.E.L.D. He is sufficently trained to hold his own in unarmed combat against seemingly overwhelming numbers of standard human opponents, even ones of high training, aided by his personal upgrades. He however, has a preference for his ranged weapons.
Special Equipment:
Hawkeye makes use of a variety of state-of-the-art bows and crossbows, made from light weight but highly durable materials. He also carries in a standard mission, thirty arrows for his bow. Hawkeye wears a suit that is fire proof, stab proof and bullet proof, while also padded to keep his body warm, and the soles muffle noise allowing for stealth. He wears a utility belt containing mission specific equipment, and a device worn over his throat to conceal his voice.
Weaknesses: He is functionally human, and can be killed in every single standard way a human can be.
Michael tends to get irritated by individuals who's value on a team seems to stem straight from their powers, as opposed to skill or talent. This can lead to him expressing it on occasion, which is of course not good for team morales, in this he can sometimes be a poor teammate or just outright insulting. It can also get him beat up if he mouths off to the wrong power house.
Most Heroic Achievements:
Stopping Adamo, the most powerful Sicilian Mafia boss in recent history, taking him into custody and providing more proof of his crimes then any paid off judge can ignore....and nailing his wife in the crimelords own bed.
History:
Michael Barton is was born to Clint & Laura twenty-five years ago. As a youth he had quite a normal upbringing. Clint had met Laura when he wasn't on the clock so to speak, she herself had no superhero or villain background. She was a very plain Jane, if a plain Jane Clint grew to love very quickly. Interestingly, Michael knew about his fathers line of work from a young age. That is to say, while he didn't know his father was Hawkeye, he knew his job involved "saving lives and beating up the bad guys."
Even when Clint passed on his love of archery to his son and started to teach him, the boy didn't work it out until he was sixteen and told for sure. He had theories at that point, but nothing solid. Michael, wanting to follow in his fathers shoes to some degree, ended up signing on to S.H.I.E.L.D, already proficient in some combat from father dearest he was in excellent physical condition and had a good head for it. While he didn't have a heroname, he did have a callsign, and it was Hawkeye. Ever a decent marksman, he had been on the job for five years when he was offered a procedure that would turn him into a real Hawkeye.
Michael accepted, and was effectively "upgraded" into something of a minor supersoldier, certainly in regards to his marksmanship. Since then Agent Barton has turned into Hawkeye spec ops and superspy extraordinaire, usually paired with Grace McCoy whom together tackle some of if not most of S.H.I.E.L.D.s most dangerous missions.
