In the world of superheroes, Kate Bishop may not have been the obvious choice to be Clint Barton‘s protégé, but their disparate backgrounds don’t stand in the way of her proving her mettle. Despite having been born into affluence, Kate earned the respect of the more working-class hero Hawkeye, who happily took her on as a junior partner following his return from the dead. Their similar attitudes are mirrored in a recent storyline from The Avengers #15.
Jed MacKay’s narrative, paired with artwork by Carlos Fabian Villa, sets the stage with Kate Bishop joining a makeshift team of Avengers called upon by Steve Rogers. They face off against Nazi vampires who commandeered a Helicarrier, led by the villainous Baron Blood, one of Captain America’s foes. While Captain America engages Baron Blood, Hawkeye and company focus on freeing the innocent people abducted to be fed to the vampires.
However, the task of evacuating the hostages proves to be daunting. The number of prisoners exceeds the capacity of the escape pods, and they’re too frightened to consider fleeing.
Kate Bishop’s Motivating Address in Avengers #15
Amid uncertainty, it’s Kate Bishop who delivers a stirring speech, one that could be compared to the likes of Captain America himself. She boosts the morale of the hesitant hostages and reinforces the idea that they’re under the protection of heroes, instilling hope in a seemingly hopeless situation.
It’s moments like this that solidify Kate Bishop’s standing as a fitting bearer of the Hawkeye name. Her prowess as an archer is undeniable; however, her courage and readiness to stand against any adversarial force with nothing but a bow and arrows exemplify her true merit.
For those eager to read the issue, The Avengers #15 is available in comic shops nationwide.
