She honed her archery skills to near-perfection, becoming a skilled marksman and martial artist. Kate’s journey to becoming a hero began in earnest when she stumbled upon Clint Barton’s Ronin activities and became involved in a conspiracy involving her mother and the criminal underworld of New York City. Over the course of the Hawkeye series, Kate partnered with Clint Barton, learning from him while also proving herself as a capable hero in her own right. Together, they confronted the Tracksuit Mafia, Yelena Belova, and other threats.
