Kate Bishop's Marvel Cinematic Universe debuted in Disney+'s Hawkeye, bringing a beloved character to the screen and making a lot of the right settings for the character in 6 episodes.
Kate Bishop fans have been waiting to see the character on screen ever since the Disney + Hawkeye series was announced, and Season 1 of the show not only presented in a way that successfully remained faithful to the comic book version of Archer, but also tweaked elements that didn't fit the story.
Kate's journey shows that she has become a hero after the entire series, and all the effects that accompany this transformation will continue to ferment in subsequent works. Although she is committed to making herself a hero, she also pays attention to her family, childhood idols, and spending time with new friends, etc., which successfully shapes her character. Now let's summarize the 10 details of Bishop in Hawkeye.
Her relationship with Clint
One of the decisive factors in the success of the Hawkeye series and comics (written by Matt Friaction and David Aja) was the shaping of the relationship between Kate and Clint Barton, which remained compelling on the small screen.
Kate went from being a big fan of Hawkeye in episode one to being Clint's partner and disciple in episode six, their friendship developed in no hurry, Kate and Clint gradually began to get to know each other through various adventures, and Clint began to teach Kate something new, including combat skills and their value as heroes.
Her family's evil deeds
In the comics, the history of Kate and her family forms a large part of her backstory, and while in the comics it is her father who plays the lead role, in the adaptation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Kate's mother Eleanor replaces her father's crime role.
Parents with criminal or evil secrets are not a new concept for superhero stories, but by translating them into shows, there is a more personal connection between the moments when the crime Kate fights conflicts with the wrong things Eleanor has done, which is still rare in Marvel plots.
Her diverse fighting styles
In addition to her skills as an archer, Kate Bishop is proficient in a variety of weapons, including swords and canes, and as a martial arts artist and gymnast, her fighting skills and diversity played a large role in fighting against the sportswear mafia and other villains.
In the setting of the show, Kate's love for these skills was established very early, and her love and mastery of so many disciplines shows how wholeheartedly she aspires to be a hero like Clint, a dream she has pursued all her life.
Her motivation to become a hero
Some of Kate Bishop's best quotes in Hawkeye stem from her talking about why she wanted to be a hero in the first place and what the concept of a superhero meant to her, with particular emphasis on clint, who had witnessed clinch as an Avenger and a chitauri.
While this motivation differs from the comic book origins, the origins set by television are better suited to the story the show and the future will tell her, and lay a good foundation for Kate's long-term relationship with Clint, while also making it easier for the new character to fit into the world of the MCU.
Her investigative abilities
In her personal MCU future setting, Kate was one of the possibilities that she could start her own investigative company, as she did in the comics, which could further connect her to the comic version of the character, while also creating opportunities for her connection with New York hero Jessica Jones, in which she was one of Kate's friends.
In Hawkeye, Kate shows her interest and talent for investigative work, whether it's discovering information through her mother's company or relentlessly tracking down her clues about those suspected of wrongdoing, suggesting that Kate's heroism isn't limited to her fighting skills, and that she sometimes makes the most of her mind to do a lot of things.
Her friendship with Yelena
Kate's interaction with Yelena Bellova may be unexpected, but it is gratifying. Bellova begins as an adversary in the story, but is later told by the Countess that Clint is responsible for the death of her sister Natasha, so she comes to kill Clint.
In marvel comics, Kate has a wide variety of good friends, and she often even makes friends with people who have been out of touch, so her storyline with Yelena is very meaningful. Starting with the distrust, as the plot progresses, a possible friendship develops between the two, and the pair is hopeful to reappear in the future.
Her loyalty
During the Hawkeye incident, Kate has done everything within her power to be loyal to the people she cares about, in her efforts to defend Clint in front of Yelena and her family, and in her desperate consideration of Eleanor before her mother's evil is proven.
Kate's loyalty embodies her values and makes her a great team member, and perhaps even a leader, along with other heroes in the future Marvel Cinematic Universe. In addition, her loyalty is what she and Clint have co-founded, and it's one way she shows the similarities between the two.
Her rich background
Marvel has a lot of superheroes from wealthy families, and Kate Bishop is one of them. It's clear that her background helped Kate learn a lot of martial arts and skills as a child, but during the Hawkeye era, Kate essentially started living independently and didn't fit into the high society she grew up in.
Although Kate's family wealth is not at the heart of her personal story, it is crucial to eleanor's connection to establishing a strong position in New York, and it allows her to engage in good and bad activities in different circles without arousing suspicion.
Her costume
From her purple tracksuit to the superhero costume she got at the end of the series, some of Kate's costumes in Hawkeye were used to give viewers more insight into the character, while also respecting Kate's unique style in the comics, which included a whole bunch of purples.
Whether she's wearing a formal outfit and using this as an opportunity to blend in into a big party or design a new superhero look for Clint, Kate's fashion plays a subtle role in Hawkeye's story, and it works well from the moment she's been her image.
Her relationship with Lucky
In Hawkeye, one of Kate's earliest heroic acts was that she rescued a stray dog, which she later named Lucky, a beloved character in the Fraction and Aja comic book series, equally cute on screen.
Lucky became Kate's partner, but also a responsibility, linking her to Clint. The two often talk about how they need to walk it, which is a reality gimmick for the two heroes on the show and a joyous atmosphere in the show. At the end of the series, Kate and Lucky participate in the Bartons' Christmas, which marks the beginning of a new family.
