It does make sense that his ex wife would play a role here so it doesn’t feel totally shoe horned in like some tie ins do but it still isn’t the best way to show off what Mockingbird can do. The second half of the run is a murder mystery that ties in to Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye’s, role in Civil War 2. And then they made Mockingbird tie in to Civil War 2 and it got less fun. The author clearly had a plan and got to execute it their own way. This was by far the more enjoyable part of this run. The first 5 issues of this run are a self contained “puzzle box” story. And that’s all Marvel needs, is another sarcastic hero. Mockingbird as a series occasionally gives Bobbi a means to demonstrate her intelligence but it shows off more of her sarcasm than anything else. Too bad she doesn’t really use any of that in this story.īasically, Marvel’s Mockingbird is overpowered and under-utilized as she takes a back seat to her ex husband and other male spotlight stealers. Bobbi, was always hyper intelligent and hyper competent but now she also is Captain America level strong and Thanos level invincible.

Bobbi Morse is Mockingbird, aka Hawkeye’s ex wife, aka Marvel Avenger adjacent semi hero who now has the super soldier serum and infinity formula coursing through her veins.

I know a lot of people are asking, “who is Mockingbird in Marvel canon?” I know that comes right up on searches, and prior to this I didn’t know either. Mockingbird by author Chelsea Cain, Illustrations Kate Niemczyk
