Trick Arrows

Clint Barton has used a variety of different arrows, each fitted with a special arrowhead that is either stored in the various small pockets and pouches hidden in his costume or already attached to the arrow itself.[2] He primarily carries multiple copies of:

  • Smoke Bomb Arrow
  • Flare Arrow (aka flash/magnesium/phosphorescent/stun-flash)
  • Tear Gas Arrow
  • Acid Arrow (aka acid-spray)
  • Suction Cup Arrow
  • Cable Arrow (aka wire)
  • Putty Arrow
  • Bola Arrow
  • Electro-Disrupter Arrow (aka electrically operated/shock)
  • Net Arrow (aka mesh)
  • Rocket Arrow
  • Boomerang Arrow
  • Pym Particles Arrow[3]
  • USB Arrow[4][3]

He has also been known to carry and use various other trick arrows that he specifically designed with his weapon brandishing skills against specific opponents or out of mere curiosity such as "Fire Arrow," "Freeze Arrow," "Vibranium Arrow," "Sleeping Gas Arrow," "EMP Arrow," "Adamantium Arrow," and "Tranquilizer Arrow."[2]

Every type of Hawkeye's arrow ever made can be seen here.

Other archers use their own types of Trick Arrows, usually similar to those of Hawkeye.

Trick Arrows from Ultimates Vol 3 5 001 Earth-6160 was reshaped to the image of The Maker of Earth-1610, preventing the creation of most of the hero community.[7]

Anthony Stark designed the quiver and arrows,[8] in his and Doom's attempt to rectify the Maker's impact in the world. Tony sent the arrows, bow and suit to Clinton Barton, the man who was supposed to become the hero Hawkeye. However, Clint gave up being a hero and threw his costume and weapon away.[9] The quiver and arrows are a cutting-edge, self-printing, smart projectile weapons system. The arrows are capable of follow a target for forty miles and cutting right angles at three times the speed of sound. Likewise, the arrows can blow holes in battleships and fry electronic devices in two hundreds yards.

The suit and weapons were found by Charli Ramsey who adopted the mantle of Hawkeye. Charli used the weapons to attack different Roxxon facilities.[8]
