Y,N Barton, older brother of Clint Barton, was renowned and respected S.H.I.E.L.D Agent that was well known by his peers due to his perfect marksmanship, lack of fear, determined nature, and his constant need to push the envelope. Alongside his partner Natasha Romanoff, she and Y,N always took the most dangerous and life-threatening missions due to Y,N's desire to keep pushing his limits and showing he didn't show fear in the face of danger. However, during one particular solo mission to the frozen tundra's of Alaska, Y,N found a crashlanded alien vessel and from the vessel, he saw a humanoid figure stumble out of the vessel, before attempting to walk yet it let out a hiss of pain and slumped against the cold metal. Y,N inched closer to the bizarre humanoid creature with his gun pointed at it, taking note of the black and green spandex it was wearing, and especially the weird symbol emblazoned on its chest area. The alien then spotted him and asked for his assistance since his leg had broken clean in half from the impact and bounty hunters would be arriving any second. Said hunters then arrived, which Y,N dispatched, however the alien didn't survive its injuries due to blood loss, and within its final moments it slipped the ring off its finger and looked at Y,N, before passing. Then the ring floated from the dead alien's palm and declared in a monotone voice "Y,N Barton, you have the ability to overcome great fear. Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps." Y,N was blasted off to Oa and for two years he was taught how to properly use his ring in combat and learned what the Green Lantern Corps was, how it operated, and what it stood for. After, two years he finally returned back to his planet, and it couldn't have been at a better time as 74 villains have escaped and the world needs a superhero team to not only capture these villains, but to help protect it from future threat. Now Y,N joins the Avengers not as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, but as a Green Lantern.
