9 Marvel Superheroes Who Desperately Deserve Their Own Netflix Series
7. Hawkeye
Who They Are: Wait, wait, I hear you. Youre probably thinking, who is that imposter? They're not Hawkeye! And if youre unfamiliar with Matt Fractions Hawk-Guy series, thats understandable. But any and all fans of the character really should familiarise themselves with the exploits of Kate Bishop, the second person to take up the Hawkeye mantle and the most likely of all Marvels archers to get a devoted Netflix series.
Why They Deserve A Series: I say this despite Jeremy Renners calls for a Netflix series focusing on Clint Barton, because even though Id adore such a thing happening, its chances are second-to-none. Barton is the Hawkeye of the MCU - there is most certainly no dispute there but Kate deserves to own the moniker in Netflixs street-level brand of vigilantism. Better yet, Id be completely and utterly elated if a Hawkeye show just straight up adapted Fractions series, depicting the stories of both Barton and Bishop as partners in crime, tangling with Russian mobsters and the sort complete with a Pizza Dog accompaniment.
This would all obviously deviate from the gritty nature of Netflixs adaptations thus far, but it would serve a good purpose in diversifying the tone of The Defenders and would kick off a potential second phase of Netflixs shows in a unique and captivating manner.
Again, this all probably sounds like gibberish to those of you who haven't yet accessed the unending depths of the Marvel Comics Universe in its current form, but trust me, if you want to see Hawkeye at its best on Netflix, Bishop is the way to go.
