Marvel’s Avengers often digs into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for skins, but it also mines comic history for its suite of costumes, too. Crystal Dynamics reached back quite far for one of its newest pieces of gear, giving Hawkeye an outfit from the late 1970s.
Inspired by his look in “Avengers #172” (1978) is Hawkeye’s “Retro” Outfit, available today in the Marketplace!

Hawkeye’s classic skin calls back to 1978’s “Avengers #172” comic, which gives the sharpshooter a purple-rich set of threads. This suit just hit the marketplace in its most recent update and is 900 Credits, which is around $9.
