The Avengers The Avengers: News and Speculation - Part 27A sub-section 12

Sometimes they will be support characters for the heavy hitters and on certain missions they will be the most equipped to deal with things. Gives the team all the skills and abilities needed to deal with a range of threats.

Being a super spy and a super marksmen won't help you against the likes of characters like Loki. Yeah Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk don't have those things, but what the skills/powers they do have are alot more useful against super powered enemies.

.... technology? and a spy can easily gain info that can help take Loki down... I don't see why you don't understand.

 

[RaZaTrOn]

They sort of did in IM II. Look at the world map when Stark and Fury are talking. Notice where the circles are.

One over East Africa, one smack in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Its others that are targeted for the Avengers Initiative.

Yeah but i'm talking about something more solid than images on a screen in the background. Something that takes a couple of seconds that you don't have to rewatch to see.

Oh I knew what you meant. I was just pointing out they are obviously not averse to that kind of stuff. I'm sure its talked about in the Marvel compound.

I assume you don't know much about Hawkeye. He's been fighting the likes of Loki alongside the Avengers for nearly 40 years now.

http://www.freep.com/article/201102...governor-cuts-tax-incentives?odyssey=nav|head = No Michigan for The Avengers!

 

[The Infernal]

That's a shame for the people of Michigan, both the fans in the area and those who work in the industry there. They'll be missing out. Not to mention that it means good business is now going elsewhere.

up:

Give or take a few years.

No I really don't, and I've never been that interested in Hawkeye or any other shield agents for that matter.

Keywords - He does it "In the comics"

 

[spideyboy_1111]

hawkeye was never a SHIELD agent in the comic books... how bout you don't form opinions on characters you know nothing about?

and for the record... Cap doesn't have super human powers either... and does just fine. He's just at peak human strength

 

[BigThor]

Because I'm not talking about Hawkeye's personality or history, merely his abilities which doesn't require extensive knowledge of the character.

So how about you stop worrying so much about my opinions pal .

so cap makes sense to you... but not hawkeye... I SEE... (no not really)

He was in The Ultimates, and it seems they are using many elements from that series in the films.

im aware. however each persons initial character seems to remain 616.. even if there story isn't exactly the same

 

[BigThor]

Cap >>> Hawkeye (just to let you know)

im aware. however each persons initial character seems to remain 616.. even if there story isn't exactly the same

They sure are, and I'm glad they're going to 616 route (don't really care about Ultimates).

 

[bored]

Cap may be a better, more well-known character, but ability-wise, he's still a hell of a lot closer to Hawkeye and Black Widow than he is to Iron Man and Thor. He's, when it all comes down to it, an uber-athletic martial artist with a neat weapon, who keeps up with the big dogs by pure skill and resourcefulness. Hawkeye is about the same (only without the aid of the Super Soldier Serum to pump himself up).

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Besides, realistically how many super-powered beings will the Avengers be fighting at one time in the film? They don't need anymore super-powered beings really, a skilled, trained specialist such as Hawkeye could be extremely useful for many tactical situations, just like Black Widow was in Iron Man 2. Sure she wasn't using martial arts to fight giant robots, thats what Iron Man and War Machine were for, but she was still pretty useful.

 

[MadVillainy]

Yeah Cap is closer to Hawkeye and Widow. Except he's a class better I think

 

[JP]

I'd say about 3.

 

[JAK®]

The amount of Ultimate influences in the movies is exaggerated by most fans, really the only direct influence is Nick Fury and the Hulk's origin.

Saying that, I get the feeling movie Hawkeye will be closer to Ultimate Hawkeye.

 

[Majik1387]

I hope not, there's nothing good in the Ultimates.

 

[JAK®]

Ultimates Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 were pretty good, actually.

 

[The Infernal]

I hope not, there's nothing good in the Ultimates.

Agreed. It looks like there are only superficial links to the Ultimates, which is just as well. A poor man's Watchmen in my opinion.

Agreed - Hawkeye seems like he might be heavily influenced by the Ultimate version. All others (besides Fury) are pretty close to their 616 counterparts.

Yeah, Thor, Hulk & Iron Man provide plenty of muscle. The other guys have the stealth & the skills to make up a well rounded team.
