Hawkeye in Ultimates: weakest member?

Well, if you've read his appearances in Ultimates 2, you'd see he has a lot to offer. The man is a card-carrying badass, and sometimes, that's enough.

 

Well, it's a government team. Each memeber brings an area of expertise. Hawkeye is black ops stealth. He's the assasin. Captain America may be able to beat up cyborg terrorists, but I doubt he could infiltrait a heavily gaurded terrorist camp, take out their leader, and do so by keeping the casualties to a minimum. And as for why a bow and arrow: It's probaboy just what he's most comfortable with. And, if you make it right, an arrow will peirce a bullet proof vest.

 

Arrows are also versatile. He can use them in a variety of different ways. There's net arrows, gas arrows, explosive arrows, etc.

and I agree with Harlekin, you should see the **** he pulled off in vol 2. He's as good as Bullseye.

 

Read Ultimates 2 #10 and shut yo mouth.

 

Nails as projectiles.

 

Thats finger nails. Thats right. Plus he took down Colossus.

 

Point is hawkeye is a badmuffo. Thats why he's on the governement team. Unfourtantly the wolverine of the ultimate universe isnt as badass .

 

I would have to say yes, he does have powers..even if he doesnt in the handbooks..

killing people with fingernails and doing what he did last issue was superhuman.

 

Actually, it isn't. One could. theoretically, flick something like a fingernail into someone's neck like that. You'd just have to be highly skilled and seriously ****ed in the head to try and pull it off.

 

I recall my uncle loosing an eye when my father cut his toe nails and one shot off into his retina.

 

Hawkeye certainly was the weakest member of every team he's ever been on in 616. He's got a bow, he can't hear ****, and he's a vapid lunkhead.

So, Ultimate hawkeye is only the second Ultimate character I like more than the original. Huh.

 

That has to be the suckiest way to lose an eye. He should never tell anyone that's how it happened. He should make up some **** about being in a war, or defending a woman from a gang of thugs or something

 

being a 'lunkhead' as you call him is what always made him a great character

and he's hardly useless. He took down the Thunderbolts singlehandedly

 

What issue number was that??

 

You know, for years he told me he lost it in a fight. It wasn't until like a couple of years ago that my father told me what really happened. I've lost all respect for ole uncle patch.

 

that was in Ultimate War

 

What when he got Colossus? That was during Ultimate War. After Colossus had beat up Thor, he shot him with a Localized Nucular Arrow. I s**t you not.

 

I guess. I just don't feel like he's all that mightiest a hero. Also, really? Even Zemo? huh.

One thing I wish was acknowledged more often about Hawkeye is his deafness. There's a hundred dumb gags that could stem from that.

 

A localized nuclear arrow?

You mean he shot an arrow that had the power of a nuke in it!?

Now I know why I love Ult. Hawkeye even more.


Wait...616 Hawkeye is deaf? Wha?

 

No, this was after the TBolts betrayed Zemo and went off on their own. They were kinda directionless, but then Hawkeye thought they had potential, being a reformed villain himself, and offered to lead him. They didn't trust him, and they fought, and he whooped their asses

 

More like the power of a dirty bomb.

And yeah, 80 % deaf in both ears.

 

Freakin sweet. I still haven't read that.

 

Geez, I could never tell.

 

Not entirely deaf, but 80% in both ears. Something about shoving a sonic arrow in his mouth to resist hypnosis. I guess he's got hearing aids, or something.
