Brief Life of Crime
Hawkeye's first outing was a major failure; after taking down two jewel thieves, the police arriving on the scene thought him to be the thief. Clint evaded capture, feeling defeated, misunderstood and hurt. He soon ran into the Black Widow, a soviet super-spy, and the two became inseparable. Clint didn't know what he was involved in, but the Widow had convinced him that he needed to defeat Iron Man in order to show his true power to the world.
He soon wised up to the Black Widow's game and decided he wasn't going to be her distraction for Iron Man any longer, and that he would try his hand at the hero game once more.
