If, like me, you are an unashamed Hawkeye fanboy (YES WE EXIST), and were confused regarding Clint Barton's absence in Marvel's Avengers, then you'll know that the announcement that he would be among the first characters to join the roster post-launch came as something as a relief.

For those also concerned that the character might be sidelined simply because he wasn't in the main story either, fret not - Clint is present and accounted for as a key member of the Avengers in-game thanks to some sneaky easter eggs.

When Kamala is tracking down Jarvis at the S.H.I.E.L.D. substation, she briefly admires a photo of the Avengers hanging together. Crouched to the middle is none other than Hawkeye himself, sporting his signature garb from the iconic Matt Fraction/David Aja run from 2012.

Barton's room is also visible on the Chimera. You can't enter it, but one would assume that'll change once he joins the game in a couple months' time.
