HISTORY formerly @callstheshxts and @bowcarried
PLEASE NOTE: my portrayal is heavily canon divergent and not a fan of recent portrayal of kate in comics. i am undecided on mcu kate ... stay tuned.at the age of sixteen, katherine bishop first runs into the band of “would be” super powered teenage boys in the middle of her sister’s wedding. the church is held at gunpoint, and her future team comes storming into save the attendees. little did they know; kate was never the damsel in distress in this situation. she quickly assists the boys in saving them, as well as her future co-leader patriot, much to his discomfort by being saved by a girl with no powers.she later runs across a younger girl while at the hospital, cassie lang, who later shows kate where the old avengers hq was as she had grown up there most of her life. they ran into the boys once more and invited themselves to join the team. kate once again, coming to their rescue, bringing in old gear she found in the building, including mockingbird’s battle staves and mask, swordsman’s sword, black widow’s utility belt, and most notably hawkeye’s bow. the team fights and defeats kang the conqueror, now accepting kate and cassie as permanent members of the family.kate used some of her money to open up an old warehouse her family’s company once used and to give the team new costumes as well as codenames. much to the dismay of captain america and iron man, who previously ordered the teens to disband and refused to train them properly.it is later revealed, months before kate’s sister’s wedding, the young archer was assaulted at central park. it is assumed she was raped and left to her depression. her father sends her to therapy, but it is unclear he even knows what happened that day as kate later tells jessica jones for an article. joining the young avengers sparks up a new life and purpose in the teen, training in kickboxing and various other fighting styles to never allow what happened, happen to anyone else.❝life is short and it doesn’t matter how good your grades are — or how many hours you put in at the soup kitchen…you’re not safe. bad things happen. things you can’t control. and they will destroy you if you let them. or you can try to learn from them… so that next time, you’ll be prepared. so that —— even if you never feel safe again —– you can do your best to make sure that what happened to you never happens to anyone else. and if you’re very lucky… you won’t have to do it alone.❞the young avengers continue to fight without the approval of members of the old avengers team, making their mark on the world. fighting their way through the civil war, and various other adventures, kate is given the name hawkeye as well as clint’s old bow by jessica after kate stands up to captain america. much like the previous owner of the bow and codename had.the team goes on to search for what billy and tommy believe to be their mother, the scarlet witch/wanda maximoff. the adventure proves to be the most difficult for them yet, succeeding in finding her but at the greatest cost. after the death of kate’s best friend, cassie lang, the team disbands on their own, kate and eli being the first to voluntarily leave the team. later called back to the avengers mansion by ms. marvel where captain america dubs the remaining team official full-fledged avengers as well as unveiling a statue in cassie’s ( alongside her father ) and the vision’s honor.later on, kate finds herself going on many endeavors with clint barton, forming a somewhat dysfunctional, yet functional, team hawkeye. the pair goes on missions given to clint by s.h.i.e.l.d. as well as their own personal missions. clint teaches kate everything he knows about archery and his skills with trick arrows, while becoming somewhat a form of a mother hen to him.after some years working together, kate has a falling out with clint and leaves him for her own adventure of self-discovery, taking the one-eyed demon pizza dog lucky along with her to los angeles. nearly as soon as kate arrives, she runs into an old foe, madame masque who promptly begins to try to destroy kate’s life and kill her. while there, the young archer tries her best to help out the only way she could. by being an avenger, as well as becoming her own self-proclaimed private investigator. getting in trouble with the law just about every other day and quickly learning, los angeles is not necessarily the friendliest place ever.while on an investigation, kate discovers something she did not want to know. her father, now remarried to a former classmate of kate’s, has been secretly working with madame masque. prompting her to drive back home to new york immediately.before kate turns twenty-one, the team returns, sort of as billy accidentally brings an interdimensional parasite ( mother: earthtrn287 ) into their world. kate had originally had a romantic encounter with noh-varr, bringing him along to join the team, as well as new members loki and america chavez. it is unclear what happens to eli and tommy during this time, tommy’s return to the team after being captured is still left open. arriving at kate’s new year’s eve party and kissing her on the dance floor.
