Bowhemian Rhapsody

A tenuous pun but one I'm happy to rock with. Ahem.

Anyway. He's an enigma, isn't he? Like many I would suggest, I really want to like ol' Deadeye Dick but his mechanic feels a little clunky at times. I can't really do much about that, but I'll do my best to buff him up and make him useful.

Upgrades

Oh, Endurance without a doubt - 9HP is pitiful. I know he's human, but damn man, how about doing some cardio from time to time, eh? And if we're in Alter-Ego, we'll throw S.H.I.E.L.D. Deputy at ourselves too, not only for the extra HP, but for the a certain weapon. So, 13HP. Good. Better.

Let's buff up his basics attacks because without his bow, Hawkers is about as much use as an asthmatic toddler. So Combat Training, I'm looking at you and let's throw a couple of weapons in Bambino (thank you S.H.I.E.L.D. Deputy) and Hand Cannon. That'll do nicely.

Supports

Crew Quarters throws in some extra healing when dropping down; handy when he recovers about as fast as me - a middle-aged man - after a few beers. Honestly, I don't have the tolerance or stamina for it, these days.

Boot Camp pumps our Allies up a little, who'll come in cheaper thanks to Avengers Tower and let's get some resource generation / cost reduction from Helicarrier and Quincarrier.

Allies

Well, Hulk is there for as a blocker, especially early game Tigra offers 3 for 6, so pretty good and you can heal her if she defeats a minion, plus Blade is cheap...

Events

... for Earth's Mightiest Heroes to kick-in.

Since Hawkeye's Bow makes all arrows ranged, Directed Force feels very apt to boost up their values; Explosive Arrow suddenly becomes a 1 cost for 5 damage to each enemy engaged with a player; Sonic Arrow becomes 2 cost for a confuse and 5 / 7 damage; Vibranium Armor is a 2 cost for 8 damage. Very nice too.

And since we've thrown a couple of weapons onto him, Mean Swing makes sense and even if we just want to use our bow as a makeshift staff, Skilled Strike, with upgrades out hit for 5 ATK.

So not quite the wuss he's made out to be. C'mon Hawkers, raise some hell.
