Description I'm digging the new Avengers' toon on DisneyXD. Only one of the things I can't get past is the way they handled Hawkeye's cowl. The character is cool but his mask is big, pointy, and dorky.

Now I'm no animator, so I'm sure there's a lot of thought and practice into making these characters easy to draw repetitively. They get all of my respect.

Either way it inspired me to tweak his mask, not completely, just a little something I think they should have done a long time ago in the comics (or maybe it was done already).

A redesign I did for Wolverine made more sense here. I work the nose piece of the mask giving added protection for his nose (for those close combat situations), and what do you know, it comes off looking like a beak; along with feathery arrows; AND his name is Hawkeye. Sweet I think.

Now Marvel will never adapt this.

This is a fantastic tweak. It gives me the old "why didn't I think of that moment.

Marvel may never adopt it, but I want to marry it.

I love (and hate) it when someone else comes up with a great idea first. I would give myself the ol' slap of the forehead. I'm glad I finally returned the favor.

I'm okay with big, pointy and dorky.

I'm also okay with Hawkeye looking like an actual bird themed superhero. Nice one.

I guess it depends on what flavor you like. Thanks.

Nice! The thing is to make sure it doesn't look like Wolverine's mask, which I think is what they did on the show.
