Only five clicks deep, huh? It's going to be hard to justify him for those 75 points. He desperately needs Armor Piercing to be good, and then you're all the way up to 85 pts. Doubt he'll be fielded much... :(

trait works beautifully with his incap and ee. shame his attack values are "low." movie hawkeye isn't really getting much accuracy love

Man, I thought "The Incredible Avenger" was going to be have the worst name out of the bunch, but this one is pretty bad, too.

For a "hawk-eye", he's going to have trouble hitting things most of the time. Makes me wonder if he misses a lot in the movie. I guess that this dial is supposed to be the "trick arrow" version, with freeze arrows and triple target energy explosion. Pretty good, but it seems like he could have used smoke cloud or some other "support arrow" power for his cost.

I don't mind the short dial, because archers are generally glass cannons. I mind the low attack value. He feels more like "Arrowguy" than "Hawkeye".

Boost his AV by having Captain America (AM204) adjacent to him, in addition to SHIELD characters providing a damage/range boost. Nick Fury (AM035) will grant "Hawkeye" use of the Avengers Initiative TA (Ultimates) when he attacks. I really don't understand the dislike for this version, as he does much more for 5 points less than DC75th Green Arrow. All AM versions of Clint are great, and welcome.

ow goats. he can be built around and made good, but not worth the investment

Three Incap attack at 8 range is a very good way to prevent swarm teams from being annoying. If they can't move, they won't hinder your big guns. And against an opposing big gun, 10 attack and 3 damage is not that bad, especially from a safe distance (8 is a safe distance in today's environment). The SHIELD TA is icing on the cake, allowing the others to take even more advantages from their range (Thor and Iron Man both get their 8 range too).

Great synergy with Nova from the fast forces pack. incapacitate is a completely underrated power. They can't hit you if they can't move. Nova's + 2 perplex really offsets the penalty he would normally take for multiple targets. Probably best used in higher point games though.

I really like this guy. I've teamed him with rick jones and he's taken down both modok and bison in the same game. Rick wild cards to shield from this guy to boost range. Give rick a power action and to increase his damage at range and use perplex where needed. On top of all that tick having the avengers ta means your not wasting actions getting in possition.

This was one of my first pieces, and even though it's from a Heroclix starter set it remains one of my favorites. Running shot, special triple shot (-1 damage) for a triple target incapacitate with the sharpshooter ability! He is brutal, did I mention how often willpower has saved his ###? He may only be five clicks, but that avengers team ability with a Thunderbolts card addition will help him wreck anything thrown his way.

I do admit, 75 points is a bit much for him though..
