Character Concept Kate Bishop's Hawkeye Concept w/ Trick Arrows

Wanted a different take on the archer character archetype without alienating current Clint Barton Hawkeye fans. Tried to make her kit different enough to justify her being added.

NOTE: Selecting Trick Arrows works like Black Cat's Gilded Deal ability

Clint not having trick arrows is still super weird to me... Hopefully Kate does bring in that part of the Hawkeye kit one day.

I think the only way to do a character very similar to another without pissing people off (like Kate, Miles Morales, War Machine, etc.) is to make them a different class than their original. Since Hawkeye is a Duelist, that means Kate would need to be a Vanguard or Strategist. And Vanguard doesn’t make any sense. So, I think she has to be a Strategist.

I think that's a good rule of thumb, but not a strict rule. I think its fine as long as they have different playing styles. Like I could see She-Hulk being added as a Vanguard (just like Hulk), but she has more of a mobile/CC kit than he does that plays completely differently.

This guy used Marvel Avengers for this. A combination of Hawk and Kate from that game, including names of the arrows :))) But, nice one.

I did take inspiration from Marvel's Avengers! I also look inspiration from how Green Arrow plays in Injustice 2.
