Frankly, that's good enough for me. Hawkeye may be tactless--and, at one time, directionless--but he's proven himself resourceful, and he seems like the type of weaponsmith that would personally craft his arsenal and not outsource either the assembly or the designing.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-55839320756263446692014-07-16T16:45:19.697-04:002014-07-16T16:45:19.697-04:00Colin - it's been long established that Reed&#...Colin - it's been long established that Reed's unstable molecule fabric gets around. To quote Charles Xavier on one occasion, speaking to new X-recruits; "The uniforms are are constructed from unstable molecules. I obtained them from a man named Reed Richards, and I'm certain you'll learn more of him and his friends later."<br /><br />Some of the wilder, woolier, not-friendly-to-the-FF characters are still a question.<br /><br />However, somewhere on 42nd St in Manhattan, there is a tailor shop run by a man named "Del". We were shown Luke Cage in his early days stopping by to pickup fresh silk shirts and pants for his hard-used costume. As Luke departs, Del serves a Doctor Banner, providing him with a bundle of pants.Murrayhttp://www.murraylindsay.ca/author_site.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-29636311197524557872014-07-16T16:36:47.677-04:002014-07-16T16:36:47.677-04:00If there has ever been a story explaining where Ha...If there has ever been a story explaining where Hawkeye gets his arrows, I sure want to read it! Clint Barton consistently makes knuckledragging "humorous" cracks about his egghead partners and their hyper science ways. If he's making his own arrows, then he has a split personality that outshines Banner-Hulk any day! "Dumb as a sack of hammers and <b>very</b> proud of it" by day, "inventive engineering genius" by night.<br /><br />I can think of too many examples where Iron Man has expressed admiration/surprise (as an ally) or shock (as an opponent) to Hawkeye's arrows to say Tony Stark is making his arrows. With the astonishing degree of compact and miniaturization most arrows require, one can't help but suspect Pym Particles are involved somehow. (A 1000 lb test cable net-harness erupts out of an arrowhead, what, double the size of a thumb?)<br /><br />The only mention I am aware of comes from that <i>Avengers</i> mini-series Comicsfan reviewed a week or so ago. A solo, outlaw, pre-Avenger Hawkeye is talking with Jarvis and mentions he's been going to the Tinkerer. Hard to believe that arrangement with a super crook continued after Hawkeye went legit.<br /><br />it makes me flash on Green Arrow in the cartoon <i>Justice League Unlimited</i>. He and a couple of teammates have been shanghaied to the 31st century by the Legion of Superheroes. Arrow announces he's going down to the storeroom to see what tech he can scrounge. Later, he's happy at finding bits "that could do some damage". Apparently Oliver Queen is even more of a scientific marvel than Clint Barton. Not only does he make similar arrows, but can browse techno junk a thousand years removed from his own time and whip up some arrowheads.<br /><br />Unsung Nobel Prize contenders!Murrayhttp://www.murraylindsay.ca/author_site.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-6193963822286914982014-07-16T16:29:43.057-04:002014-07-16T16:29:43.057-04:00As well as Hawkeye's arrows you could ask who ...As well as Hawkeye's arrows you could ask who makes all the superhero costumes ? We know Spidey sews his own and the FF's are created by Reed's scientific genius ( unstable molecules ) but what about all the others ? Perhaps there's a superhero costume factory somewhere :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-6575601769453792962014-07-16T14:00:49.236-04:002014-07-16T14:00:49.236-04:00"Zzzak me"!!! If I had a nickel for ever..."Zzzak me"!!! If I had a nickel for every time I said those words, I could start collecting all of Hawkeye's appearances.<br /><br />Has there every been a story dealing with who makes all of his arrows? I remember the Sons Of The Serpent story arc where he and Cap (the original Captain, not Derek Jeter) were trapped by lasers and he was telling Cap that the lasers wouldn't kill them, all his blast arrows going off at once would. And then when they were trapped out in the frozen wasteland and he had to use his arrows to make a fire, and then that other time....What??? It's about The Hulk? But Hawkeye's in the post? Yes he is, he's in the story.... It's about The Hulk? Okay, okay..... Nevermind.<br /><br />The Prowler (easily distracted by archers, cake and boobs).<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
