To summarize, Hawkeye significantly alters Kate Bishop’s origin tale. Kate had a wonderful, loving connection with her father in the Marvel universe, who died while she was young during the Battle of New York, which takes place in 2012’s The Avengers. During the conflict, Kate witnesses Hawkeye doing a heroic act by shooting the Chitauri with an arrow while leaping from a building, which inspires her to learn archery and martial arts in order to protect herself and her mother, Eleanor. However, Kate’s origin is different in the comics. She has a troubled relationship with Derek, her father, who does not die, and she has a troubling connection with him as a result of his murky business dealings with the villains’ Madame Masque and El Matador, who finally kidnaps Kate in order to gain what he wants from Derek. She is eventually rescued by the Avengers, and it is the first time she encounters Hawkeye, whom she admires. Thus, we at Animated Times thought, why not let fans see Kate Bishop’s Evolution Over Time? That sounds cool enough. If yes, then let’s hop into the list and find out.

Her outfit was made up of the dress she was wearing at the moment, with the bottom ripped off, Mockingbird’s mask, Mockingbird’s fighting staves, and the Swordsman’s sword. It wasn’t a full costume, but that’s corrected with her second outfit, which appears two issues later.

Kate Bishop’s second outfit would not debut until nearly a decade later, in Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye series, beginning with issue 3. David Aja created her suit, which was inspired by Diana Rigg’s appearance as Emma Peel in the 1960s TV series The Avengers (no relation to the Marvel Comics properly).

Her latest costume appeared in Square Enix’s game The Avengers, where Kate Bishop was just included as the first DLC character, rather than in the comics. Square Enix’s Kate Bishop adopts a similar approach to the comics but instead bases her backstory on the game’s plot.

Her final outfit was designed for the new Disney+ Hawkeye program, in which Kate Bishop, portrayed by Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit, Pitch Perfect), wears a costume identical to Aja Hawkeye’s. This new Hawkeye is for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which the present Hawkeye, Clint Barton, played by Jeremy Renner (The Avengers, Mission Impossible), is attempting to train a new Hawkeye following the events of Avengers: Endgame, in which Barton took on the moniker “Ronin.”

So there you have it: Kate Bishop: 8 Pics That Demonstrate Her Evolution Over Time. Well, to be honest, Kate Bishop has had six different costumes over the course of her decade and a half career, but she has worn the same one for the majority of it. A significant part of the reason she has had so many outfits in such a short period of time is that Kate Bishop, along with other recent Marvel creations from the time, has received a lot more attention from the public as a result of Marvel Studios’ efforts to introduce younger characters.
