Two-Gun Kid

One of the Wild West's most famous gun-fighters, Two-Gun Kid journeyed forward to modern times alongside the Avengers to face new challenges as a man out of time.

Matthew Hawk was a lawyer who became a crimefighter in the Wild West known as Two-Gun Kid. Inspired by the original Two-Gun Kid dime novels that he read about in his youth, Matt was trained by an aging gun-slinger named Ben Dancer to become an expert marksman and rider. As one of the Old West's most famous gunfighters, the Two-Gun Kid befriended several of the other heroic gunfighters of the era such as Kid Colt and the Rawhide Kid and found a sidekick and close friend in the former boxer Boom-Boom Brown. He also got involved with a young woman named Nancy Carter whom became his sort-of girlfriend.

When Kang the Conqueror traveled back in time and attempted to take over the world in the past, Matt joined forces with a time-traveling Hawkeye in battling Kang. Aided by fellow Western gun-slingers Kid Colt, Phantom Rider, Rawhide Kid and Ringo Kid, they led a resistance against Kang's reign.

Eventually, Hawkeye's fellow Avengers arrived in the past and joined forces with Matt and Hawkeye in thwarting Kang's scheme. Having developed a close friendship with Hawkeye, Matt was invited to join the Avengers as a member. Curious to what the future had in store for him, Matt accepted the offer and decided to travel with the Avengers to the modern era and serve alongside them.

Matt Hawk is an expert marksman and a formidable unarmed combatant. He also has great skill in riding horses and in modern times has adapted to use high-tech weaponry and vehicles.

His main weapons are a pair of quickdraw colt SAA's, and in the modern day, he uses an accessorized browning BLR lever rifle.
