Clinton "Clint" Barton, code name Hawkeye, is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and founding member of the Avengers. Barton has no real superpowers but is the world's greatest marksman armed with a recurve bow.
Haweye (Comic Version)
Hawkeye seems to be somewhat unusual in the superhero world in that he doesn't have a primary-coloured uniform, and specifically he's associated with the colour purple. Why did his creators choose purple for him? It seems an odd choice.
Started as a villain so his costume was originally secondary color purple-themed. It also resembled the person who taught him how to use his bow, Trick-Shot.
