People constantly debate who the strongest and weakest Avengers are, both by those in the Marvel Universe and by fans trying to argue their favourite character’s case. But, of course, every Avenger has strengths and weaknesses. While some may be physically stronger, others find their strength in their intelligence or sarcasm. So, who is the strongest Avenger?

While that may be true, his skills with a bow and arrow are unmatched. Clint is one of the most experienced members of the Avengers, having worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. for years before being recruited. He was the one who went after Natasha Romanoff and recruited her after realising that she was more than just an enemy assassin.
Barton is the glue of the Avengers team, keeping everyone intact and alive. While he is very serious about his job, he is unafraid to be snarky with enemies or exchange quips with friends.
