Avengers LEAK: Every Playable Character That Will Be Included
13. Kate Bishop
Now this one's interesting. If the datamine is to be believed, Marvel's Avengers will also be introducing us to Kate Bishop.
Like Ms. Marvel before her, there's a strong chance that many people won't be that familiar with Kate Bishop, as she's yet to make a splash in the MCU.
Kate Bishop is essentially the protogé of Hawkeye. Like him, she's a gifted marksman and excellent hand-to-hand combatant. Eventually she does take on the Hawkeye, taking over from Clint Barton.
It'll be interesting to see how the Avengers game would handle Kate, as she is surely going to play very similarly to Hawkeye. You have to wonder if this will just be a simple character model swap; perhaps Kate will be included as an unlockable alternative to Hawkeye, rather than as her own, standalone character? If the datamine is to be believed, however, she's very much her own, unlockable character.
For her to be included they'll need to mix up her abilities and make her distinct from Hawkeye. This is especially true if they're planned to be released apart; if they were to be released together, it would give us the opportunity to choose which version of Hawkeye we'd like to be from the start.
