How Iron Man Would Defeat Each Member Of The Avengers

5. Hawkeye

Iron Man Civil War 2
Marvel Comics

Hawkeye is one of the most skilled marksmen in all of comics, Marvel or otherwise. Clint can outshoot anyone and do it cleaner and mores stylish than his opponents could hope to even come halfway close to. Dude is not someone you wanna mess with, overall.

But in a no holds barred fight with an Iron Man who means BUSINESS? Yeah... I give him about five seconds.

While not the most creative solution on the planet, I can see no quicker way to dispatch Hawkeye than just shooting him in the head. His skills are what puts and KEEPS him on the team, but by the man's own admission in Matt Fraction's legendary run on the book, he is JUST a guy with a bow and arrow. No super soldier serum, no special government training - just a lot of luck and deep mastery of the weapon he wields. Neither of which mean much, realistically speaking, when up against the most advanced suit of armor in the Marvel universe looking to take you out quickly and efficiently.

Sorry Clint.
