Barton, Clint

✖ M01C12-029 ✖ RED ✖ barton.clint@cdc.org ✖ PLACE OF ORIGIN & SPECIES: Earth; Human ✖ DIET: Omnivore ✖ NOTABLE SKILL SET/S: On his home world, Barton is known as the "greatest living marksman on the planet." As such, his skill in archery and thrown projectiles is unmatched. He is also skilled in acrobatics, hand-to-hand combat, explosives, and is capable of piloting a jet. While tactically minded and intelligent, Barton has no powers to speak of. Overall: painfully human and aware of his limitations. ✖ BACKGROUND: While Barton's background is largely murky, his most current work as an agent of SHIELD means he's spent the last few years working various high clearance security details. One of which was keeping an eye on the hammer Mjolnir, which was followed quickly by the Norse god of Legend, Thor. The second of which was a job watching over SHIELD scientists experimenting with the Tesseract, an energy source of infinite power. Following the Tesseract being stolen, Barton was compromised and mind controlled by Loki, brother of Thor, into attempting to take over the world due to his knowledge of the inner-workings of SHIELD. Brought back by Natasha Romanoff, Barton would go on to assist the Avengers in their final battle against Loki and his Chitauri army. ✖ CHARACTER ASSESSMENT: Barton is efficient, observant, and capable of impressive feats of immediate response to evolving threats in the field. In general, he's a good soldier, but does not blindly follow and seems to go to lengths to keep in line with his somewhat mangled moral compass. Furthermore, Barton has a bad habit of cracking jokes at inopportune moments, which can obfuscate his actions and somewhat selfless tendencies. When able to, Barton also enjoys showing off his skills in archery, sometimes in seemingly reckless moments. However, as has already been mentioned above, Barton is aware of his limitations and understands that he is painfully fallible. Though he plays at a generally easygoing and calm demeanor, it is understood that he still harbors some guilt over actions taken against SHIELD prior to his home world's "Battle of Manhattan" and there are secrets from before that he still holds tight to his chest. Regardless, Barton is more likely to keep his head down and complete objectives when needed rather than allowing issues to translate into sloppy work. ✖ ( VIEW FULL PROFILE )
