365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

January 27th - Echo

Maya Lopez was born deaf, yet rapidly learned to read lips and understand non-verbal communication to such an extent that her hearing deficit was not properly diagnosed until she was already a toddler. Maya continued to excel in reading body language and learned to mimic the physical behaviors of other to such a degree as to boarder on the uncanny.

Maya’s father was William Lincoln, the mob enforcer colloquially known as ‘Crazy Horse.’ Lincoln had aided Wilson Fisk in establishing himself as the undisputed ‘Kingpin’ of organized crime in New York City. Lincoln had become a friend and confidante to Fisk, yet it ultimately came to a point where this friendship was a liability to Fisk’s grasp on power. As such, Fisk had him killed. With his dying breaths, Lincoln asked Fisk to look after his daughter, Maya.

Maya did not see who had killed her father but arrived in time for his final moments. He reached out to her and left a bloody handprint on the side of her face.

Fisk honored Licoln’s request and had Maya looked after. He arranged for her to be sent to a special school for the hearing impaired. When Maya demonstrated her amazing abilities to copy the actions of others she was transferred to a school for the gifted where she excelled in the fields of art, dance and the martial arts. She came to realize that her ability to perfectly imitate (or ‘echo’) the physicality of others enabled her to rapidly glean incredible prowess. She could study a karate expert in action and then possess that same skill for karate herself. As such, Maya quickly became a master practitioner of a multitude of different fighting styles.

All the while, Maya continued to look onto Wilson Fisk as a kindly uncle, unaware that he was The Kingpin and the man who murdered her father. When Maya was older, Fisk decided to utilize her tremendous gifts in a scheme to bring down his arch rival, the hero Daredevil. Fisk had recently discovered Daredevils’ true identity as attorney Matt Murdock, He told Maya that Daredevil was the man responsible for her father’s death and instructed her to become close with Murdock, that doing so would ultimately offer her access to Daredevil.

Maya and Matt ended up falling in love; she was unaware that he and Daredevil were one and the same. Meanwhile, she studied the available film on Daredevil, as well as his foes, Bullseye and Elektra, amassing a veritable arsenal of fighting styles and physical feats into her repertoire.

Having closely studied Daredevil in action, Maya was able to ascertain that he possessed a type of echolocation and that it is this incredible hearing that allows him to move in the way he does. As such, she arranged for their confrontation to be in a high-noise atmosphere where his hearing would be substantially interfered with. In preparation for the battle, Maya used makeup to recreate her father’s handprint on her face.

Now called herself ‘Echo,’ Maya ended up defeating Daredevil. Yet she was unable to kill him when she discovered that he was actually Matt. Ultimately she learned that it was indeed Fisk who had killed her father and that he was merely using her as a tool to further his evil bidding. Echo confronted the Kingpin and ended up shooting him in the face. Fisk was able to survive the attack, but was blinded for a short while and the time he needed to convalesce resulted in him losing hold of his criminal empire.

Some time thereafter, Echo relocated to Japan and infiltrated the evil ninja sect known as The Hand whist posing as the masked assassin called Ronin. She ended up assisting The Avengers in taking on The Hand when it was revealed that the sect was in league with the terrorist organization, Hydra. She remained in Japan yet was later killed in battle against The Hand's new leader, Elektra. The Hand resurrected Maya hoping to use her as an agent to their cause. The ceremony was interrupted by Luke Cage and his New Avengers squad who were able to rescue the newly resurrected Maya. At the time, Clint Barton had taken to wearing the Ronin outfit as part of an effort to create a new beginning for himself. Clint received Maya’s blessing in continuing to operate as The Ronin and Maya returned to the moniker of Echo. Echo defeated Elektra in a rematch and, upon slaying her, discovered that Elektra had been replaced by a Super Skrull imposter. This discovery contributed to the Secret Invasion event.

Echo next turned up in Los Angeles California where she became a partner to Moon Knight in the crimefighter’s effort to take down Count Neferia. Echo was seemingly killed by Neferia, but was shown to be alive some time later and helped Daredevil take down the villainous Klaw.

Later, Echo ended up involved in a complicated tournament to determine who would act as the host for the cosmic power known as The Phoenix Force. Echo ended up winning this contest and becoming the Phoenix’s avatar, using its awesome power to restore reality back to normal before relinquishing these powers.

Maya Lopez features in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portrayed by actress Alaqua Cox and debuting in the Disney+ series, Hawkeye. The heroine first appeared in the pages of Daredevil Vol. 2 #9 (1999).

Avengers: Endgame

We finally get a little taste of the next Avengers tale with that Avengers: Endgame trailer. It doesn’t tell us too much and the glimpses we get only ask more questions. It also gives us a quick look at what’s up with the two biggest Marvel Cinematic Universe heroes to skip out on Infinity War in Ant-Man and Hawkeye. Both were described as being under house arrest in the last movie, but now we see Hawkeye’s back in action...albeit not in the most mentally healthy way.

In his scant seconds in the Avengers: Endgame trailer, we see Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton cleaning off a used sword while standing over a handful of goons who are probably dead. Instead of his SHIELD uniform, he’s dressed in an armored ninja costume. He’s no longer Hawkeye, but Ronin.

But who is Ronin, exactly?

Originally, Ronin had little to do with Clint Barton unless you considered him a red herring. Brian Michael Bendis was writing Avengers in the mid-2000s and gave us Avengers: Disassembled, a chaotic storyline that killed off a handful of Avengers members. Hawkeye was one of those victims, getting blown up in a fight against a Kree invasion that was ultimately conjured up by an insane Scarlet Witch.

Shortly after this story, Bendis started up a new Avengers series...New Avengers. Rather than go for a more classic line-up, he got a bit unorthodox. Captain America and Iron Man returned as representatives of the old guard. Spider-Man and Wolverine were brought in due to Bendis’ belief that if the Avengers are Marvel’s Justice League, then they should have the most popular characters. Spider-Woman and Luke Cage acted as Marvel mainstays who needed a day in the sun. Then you had the two wildcards in the Sentry – an X-factor of a hero who had only appeared in a miniseries at that point – and Ronin.

Ronin appeared on many New Avengers covers despite not showing up until the eleventh issue. In the speculation, many felt that Ronin was supposed to be Daredevil in a new disguise for some reason. After all, Bendis was also in the middle of his legendary Daredevil run at the time. Bendis later admitted that that was the original plan, but it wouldn’t have worked out.

Instead, when they finally got around to telling Ronin’s story, they made hints that this mysterious ninja was not just a woman, but Elektra. She was an associate with Daredevil, Captain America said he didn’t approve of her history with the Kingpin, and we got to see what looked like her hair from behind. Also, her mission involved taking on the Hand, which is totally an Elektra thing to do.

But there was a bit of a hint of Ronin’s true identity. An army of ninjas was able to sneak up behind her. Sure, they’re supposed to be stealthy, but there were so many of them that you’d have to be deaf not to notice. Sure enough, by the time the Ronin storyline finished up, she unmasked to reveal she was Echo, otherwise known as Maya Lopez. A former flame of Matt Murdock’s and adopted daughter of Wilson Fisk, Echo was introduced in the Daredevil comic right before Bendis took over (David Mack and Joe Quesada were the creative team at the time, and they created Echo). Much like Daredevil, she had enhanced abilities despite a physical handicap, only it was deafness instead of blindness.

That quick Ronin story was about all there was for Echo’s relevancy, though. It was the hazard of Bendis’ writing. He would write interesting scenarios for the New Avengers, but he’d stretch it out so long that he was too busy catching up with the big Marvel events going on to really explore his ideas. That plot thread would rest for a while as Marvel books dedicated themselves to House of M and Civil War, two other major storylines.

During yet another big Marvel event, House of M, Scarlet Witch rewrote reality so that mutants were in charge. She also magically brought Hawkeye back to life with no memory of the original timeline or his death. He eventually regained those memories and it put him on a dark path that would last for several years, including a couple attempts to straight-up murder Scarlet Witch in the name of revenge. When the world returned to normal (albeit with most mutants depowered), Hawkeye remained alive, but went on his own path.

While they’re a bit more open to it these days, having two superheroes share the same name at the same time in Marvel is something they usually go out of their way to avoid. One of the two has to die, be taken out of commission, or simply change their name. Since Marvel had just introduced a new Hawkeye in Young Avengers (Kate Bishop) and Clint was no longer dead, that meant a new identity.

Clint gave up on his revenge plot, but was less than thrilled to hear that Captain America died in the aftermath of Civil War. Even for a guy who was brought back from the dead, Clint was about to have a string of bad times. Stark offered him the shield as the new Captain America, but Clint refused. It wasn’t for him and he wasn’t exactly pleased with Stark in general.

Meanwhile, Echo’s adventures against the Hand got her captured, killed, and resurrected by their new leader Elektra. The anti-Stark Avengers team went on a mission to rescue her and with them was a new Ronin. We didn’t get many hints on the identity this time other than it not being Matt Murdock.

A flashback showed the truth: Clint visited New Avengers member Doctor Strange and came across the rest of the rebel team, all confused that he was alive. He offered to join them in their Echo rescue mission, but didn’t want to be Hawkeye anymore. Wolverine instead gave him the Ronin costume.

It worked out, though. Yet another flashback revealed that in their early Avengers days, Captain America taught Hawkeye how to fight with more than a bow and arrow. Kicking ass with katanas and martial arts was Clint’s own way of honoring his fallen leader. After Echo was safe, she let Clint keep the identity, seeing as she didn’t need it and she felt that he did, at least for a little while.

Then the bad times really started to kick in.

Secret Invasion was going on and that meant there were heroes all over who were secretly shape-shifting Skrulls meant to take over the planet. This included some that weren’t aware of the truth, such as one posing as Hawkeye's dead wife Mockingbird. She knew some incredibly intimate facts about their relationship, but she was just another fake. Clint, in an act of rage, gunned down the confused alien and ranted about how he was going to go genocidal on the invaders.

He does manage to kill a few Skrulls, and in context, that's kinda good. The end of the invasion means that Norman Osborn is now in charge of everything military and superhero-related in the government and that’s bad. The real Mockingbird turns out to be alive after all and that’s good. She does point out that she divorced him before she was abducted by Skrulls and that’s bad.

Ronin would lead the New Avengers, who were more of a rebel team than ever before because Osborn had his own team of Dark Avengers wearing their identities and every good guy was on their shit list. Osborn being in charge – not to mention mass murderer Bullseye dressing up as the new Hawkeye – drove Clint to wanting to straight-up assassinate the weird-haired dickhead. He went on a one-man mission to just that and failed because Osborn had crazy plot armor back then.

Clint didn’t die either because, come on, they weren’t going to kill a guy so fresh from stepping out of the grave.

read more: Marvel Cinematic Universe Viewing Order

Luckily, good things started happening for our man Clint. Steve Rogers came back from the dead and led the team again, including putting an end to Norman Osborn’s reign of terror. The Superhero Registration Act finally died. Clint and Mockingbird started having fun adventures together. He started dating Spider-Woman. Being an Avenger no longer had a scummy stigma to it. Scarlet Witch even chilled out a bit. Things were back to normal enough that Clint could be himself. He was alive and he could live his life.

And so, there would be two Hawkeyes coexisting. The grim, katana-wielding ninja would find his stride as a dopey archer with a sidekick and a one-eyed, pizza-loving dog.

As for “Ronin,” the gimmick got used plenty more in the main Marvel universe and beyond. The Red Guardian and even Blade wore the mask. In the Ultimate Universe, it was just another identity for Moon Knight. Even on the Japanese cartoon Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers, Ronin ended up being a secret identity for Nozomu Akatsuki, benevolent scientist and father of the protagonists, who was mind-controlled by Loki.

read more - Avengers: Endgame - Who is Kate Bishop?

While Ronin is a fun way for Marvel to add mystery to their stories, it truly found the most meaning in its Clint Barton days. He didn’t truly need to wear the black costume. It simply represented that he was going through a very bad time. Experiencing death, having your heart broken, losing a close friend, being vilified for being a good person, and seeing the world go to Hell could break a person.

So could having your beloved family turn to dust because of the acts of a Mad Titan.

Gavin Jasper writes for Den of Geek and remembers that Hawkeye was a major player in saving both universes in the JLA/Avengers crossover. Even against Thanos, he shouldn’t be underestimated. Read more of Gavin’s stuff here and follow him on Twitter @Gavin4L
