Here's more on Operation: Hawkeye - Future Imperfect:
Welcome back, True
Believers! With 2020 behind us, we’re excited to kick off the new year with our
newest post-launch hero, Clint Barton as Hawkeye and his own Operation: Future
Imperfect! We know how many members of our community are looking forward to
Hawkeye and have heard their calls ever since our initial reveal at E3 2019.
Now, we can finally answer where Hawkeye has been!
We first met Clint in Kate Bishop’s Operation, Taking AIM, where she brought him
back from the brink of a huge AIM conspiracy involving the manipulation of time
itself. Operation Hawkeye: Future Imperfect marks Chapter 2 of Season One, where
we continue diving into the consequences of the Tachyon Project and come
face-to-face with a possible future where all hope is lost.
As Kate Bishop’s mentor and close friend, Clint and Kate have similarities in
their skillset due to being mentor and protégé, but nevertheless, they are two
different fighters, each with their own style. Whereas Kate blinks around the
battlefield as a blur of never-ending strikes to multiple foes, Clint is the
steadfast hunter, taking down his foes with powerful, precise hits one at a time
until he’s the only one left standing. Clint’s bow skills are second to none in
the Marvel universe, and with intrinsics that boost his single-target attack
potential and an arsenal of many different arrow types at his disposal, he’s a
one-man-army to be reckoned with. We also took inspiration from his Ronin period
to create his sword abilities, which makes him a powerful melee and ranged
hero.
