Hawkeye has few redeeming qualities, and many other fans of the franchise agree. Jeremy Renner recently went on the Tonight Show and sang a song about all of the super powers we didn’t know about.

The tune is a parody of Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud. My favorite super power is that he gets free guacamole at Chipotle. Check out the song for yourself in the video above. Also, Renner has no future in music.

Hawkeye Sign Language T-Shirt: Louder than Words

We Love Fine and writer Matt Fraction’s H Signs t-shirt is based on Hawkeye #19. That issue of Fraction’s and David Aja’s comic book series has been lauded for its portrayal of daily life for deaf people. In the comic, Clint Barton aka Hawkeye suffers severe ear damage and resorts to sign language. The comic itself is difficult to read, driving home deaf people’s daily struggles.

This set of Avengers stacking dolls was made by Australian artist Irene Hwang of BoBo Babushka. Each one is hand painted, and the set includes eight stacking Avengers ranging from the 9″ tall Incredible Hulk to the 3/4″ Loki. I know, Loki is a bad guy, but she made him so tiny it’s almost like he’s not even there.
