Hawkeye

Hawkeye remains a constant in the team for many years, and when his bow breaks at a crucial moment decides to use Pym particles to become the second Goliath.[5] During this time, Barton suffers a personal setback as his brother Barney is killed by the villain Egghead, whom Goliath brings to justice.[6] At the conclusion of the Kree-Skrull War Barton resumes the identity of Hawkeye in a new costume, and after a rift with teammate the Vision over the affections of the Scarlet Witch, he resumes his old costume and resigns from the team.[7] On a whim Hawkeye returns to the Black Widow and briefly battles her current love, Daredevil.[8] Hawkeye then assists the Hulk against the monster Zzzax,[9] and then follows the Hulk back to the mansion of Doctor Strange, where after a skirmish Hawkeye joins the "non-team" the Defenders for a short period.[10] Hawkeye then drifts for a time, returning briefly to the Avengers to attend the wedding of the Vision and the Scarlet Witch.[11] Together with the Two-Gun Kid and the Satan-cursed motorcyclist Ghost Rider, Hawkeye defeats the monster the Manticore[12] before returning to the Avengers to assist when members of the team begin to mysteriously disappear.[13] The remaining Avengers discover it to be the work of the Collector of the Elders of the Universe. After his teammates are all captured, Hawkeye single-handedly defeats the Collector,[14] and joins the team for the final battle against Korvac.[15] Hawkeye's victory is dashed when the Avengers new government liaison Henry Peter Gyrich, limits the roster and replaces him with the Falcon, in an attempt to make the team more "politically acceptable". After initially failing to find work in his civilian identity, he successfully applies for work at Cross Technological Enterprises as Hawkeye, and then battles the Shi'ar villain Deathbird.[16] Hawkeye returns to Avengers mansion several months later for a brief visit "induced" by the heroine Moondragon[17] before rejoining for a sustained period.[18] It is at this time that Hawkeye inadvertently avenges the death of his brother. The villain Egghead, having been exposed for framing Henry Pym, attempts to shoot Pym but Hawkeye jams the barrel of the weapon with an arrow. The weapon is an energy pistol and explodes, killing Egghead instantly.
