Warning : SPOILERS for bolt # 2Marvel’sHawkeyemay be a superhero , but his accomplishment with a curtain call are not enough to bea competent leader of the Thunderbolts- and the team ’s unexampled member prove it . Clint Barton is often view the proverbial wild carte du jour of the Avengers : he can be eminently professional one minute and have a demon - may - aid languid position the next . InThunderbolts # 2 , Marvel prove that these qualities do not needfully make for a undecomposed leader , and he may be the intellect for the team ’s ruination .
In the viewing of theDevil ’s Reignevent , the Kingpin fled New York City and Luke Cage successfully became Mayor in Wilson Fisk ’s absence seizure . Fisk leave behind a sound minefield , and per his orders duringDevil ’s Reign , superheroes are still illegalin the city . Thus , the Thunderbolts are form ; they are technically a governmentprojectrather than ateamand thus a loophole is successfully exploited to allow heroes to operate on in New York .

In Thunderbolts # 2 , written by Jim Zub with art by Sean Izaakse , Hawkeye go far to train his team - but he ’s half an hour late for a press conference , and the twenty-four hour period only flummox bad from there . Barton haphazardly correct the press ' question alongside Luke Cage before the Thunderbolts suffice the call to action : a disturbance at the Met is triggered by a bantam but potent creature named Eegro . The Thunderbolts battle Eegroand get the better of it - but to Hawkeye ’s astonishment , he is let a spot on the squad , despite the fact that he occupy no holes on the roster . Hawkeye has zero say in the matter .
Hawkeye’s Personality Makes Him A Liability For The Thunderbolts
This is an indication of the Thunderbolt ’s principal purpose as a propaganda squad rather than an actual superhero team , but it also shows Hawkeye ’s ineffectuality as a decisive drawing card . IfCaptain America took Hawkeye ’s place , he would either strongarm the governance into removing Eegro from the squad or quit altogether , but Hawkeye does neither . Barton is clearly a goodmentor(seen when comfort a superhero who failed betimes on in his conflict with Eegro ) , but is an ineffectiveleaderbecause of his unfitness to manage a group .
unluckily , it seems Hawkeye does not appear to take hisduties as the Thunderbolts ' leader seriously . Clint clearly sees how the government fights his ideas for the radical at every turn , and has understandably decided to mark out regarding the day - to - day direction . Just as well;Hawkeyeis an splendid playing field commanding officer in conflict , but he ’s no loss leader , specially when it comes to affirm himself regarding new team member .
