The Story of Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Chitauri Invasion: Controlled by Loki

Clint then acted as Loki's the commander at his safe house, which Clint personally selected due to protective defenses. Clint commanded various other mind-controlled mercenaries and workers and helping collect the materials that Erik Selvig needed to utilize the Tesseract. Selvig asked him were he found all of the workers, to which he informed Selvig that S.H.I.E.L.D. a lot of enemies. Clint located a material that Selvig needed to complete his work. Loki came to be updated on their work, while Selvig complimented the Tesseract's incredible power, Clint noted that it had shown him their next target, which he would require a distraction and an eyeball.

When Selvig mocked the choice of hide-out, Clint explained that it was the most secure base that they could acquire. He told Loki that Nick Fury would be putting a team together to stop their plans, although Barton insisted that the team was more likely a danger to themselves. Loki demanded to know everything about them, vowing to test them so he could rule the Earth. Loki questioned why Clint had failed to kill Fury, asking if it was because he admired him, but Barton argued he was disorientated and not at his best with a gun. Clint would go on to inform Loki all about the members of Fury's team, including the dangerousness of the Hulk, Black Widow's past, and the power of Stark Tower.

Clint traveled to Stuttgart, Germany with Loki where he used his infiltration skills and knowledge of S.H.I.E.L.D. to help to steal a store of Iridium needed to stabilize the Tesseract. While Loki attacked Heinrich Schafer and used a device to violently scan his eyeball, Barton silently shot several guards with his arrows before getting inside and using a hologram of Schafer's eyeball to gain access to the facility and successfully steal the iridium before escaping. Barton would then proceed to collect any other raw materials that would be needed for the portal with ease, while Loki allowed himself to be captured.
