Biography

Trick Shot worked alongside other acts such as stunt biker Dillon Zarro. (Solo Avengers v1 #13) While the young Clint Barton was being trained by the Swordsman Jacques DuQuesne, a beer-swilling Trick Shot interrupted, filling their target full of arrows and noting that Barton was not half bad. (Solo Avengers v1 #2)
After the Swordsman got in trouble with a loan shark, Trick Shot offered to use both himself and Barton to help him, but Swordsman declined, deriding Trick Shot's bar scams and correcting his own name as Jacques; Trick Shot told him that he'd end up getting both knees broken by loan sharks for acting like that. (Hawkeye v3 #3) When Barton, now known as Hawkeye, discovered Swordsman stealing from the carnival's paymaster, Swordsman injured Hawkeye and prepared to slay him, but Trick Shot arrived, followed by Clint's brother, Barney, and chased off the Swordsman. (Solo Avengers v1 #2) When Barney asked what happened, Trick Shot told him that Clint was going to squeal on something that was none of his business. Barney asked if the Swordsman was guilty, and Trick Shot told him that he did not know or cared as the only thing that mattered as one did not betray their family regardless of the situation. (Hawkeye v3 #3) As Barton recovered, Trick Shot offered to continue training him for an unspecified price to be paid in the future. (Solo Avengers v1 #2)
Trick Shot tested a quintet of his specially weaponed assassins intended to assault Hawkeye, after which another agent confirmed that Hawkeye was planning a show at Los Angeles' Coliseum. Pleased by this information, Trick Shot prepared to send his assassins there and was anxious to see how Hawkeye had progressed over the years, noting that Hawkeye owed him a debt that could only be repaid in blood. Soon after, Trick Shot used knockout gas via one of his turning curved arrows to incapacitate the clowns Hawkeye was supposed to oppose in the show; Trick Shot's agents then disguised themselves in the clowns' costumes . When Hawkeye raced in to start the show, Trick Shot's agents used a bazooka to unhorse him and then attacked him en force. Swiftly realizing the true threat, Hawkeye defeated his six attackers despite his bow being shattered in mid-battle, using fists and hand thrown arrows against them. (Solo Avengers v1 #1) Arriving late to the show, Mockingbird decided to meet up with Hawkeye in his dressing room, found the unconscious clowns, and was attacked by six more of Trick Shot's agents. Attempting to end the struggle, Trick Shot fired a flaming arrow towards some wrecked cars, but Mockingbird caught it with her feet and stopped it from igniting the cars' gas tanks. Mockingbird showed Hawkeye a curved arrow she had found, and Hawkeye recognized it as belonging to Trick Shot. He admitted this to Mockingbird and promised her he wouldn't go after Trick Shot alone, but crossed his fingers as he did so. (Solo Avengers v1 #2) Confident that Hawkeye had learned who had sent the assassins, Trick Shot prepared to prove who was the world's greatest archer. (Solo Avengers v1 #1) Trick Shot sent Hawkeye a one-way ticket to Paris along with a death challenge. (Solo Avengers v1 #2)
After Hawkeye arrived in Paris, Trick Shot arranged for Batroc's Brigade to ambush him. (Solo Avengers v1 #3) Knowing that Hawkeye was seeking Trick Shot, Silver Sable planned to capture Hawkeye and allow to escape to lead her to Trick Shot. (Solo Avengers v1 #4) Batroc's Brigade gave Hawkeye an invitation from Trick Shot to meet him at the Notre Dame cathedral, then ambushed him there. No sooner had Hawkeye defeated his three attackers than he was confronted by Silver Sable and her Wild Pack. Sable announced Hawkeye's arrest in the name of France for the murder of Trick Shot. (Solo Avengers v1 #3) As expected, Hawkeye escaped Silver Sable's custody and prepared to locate Trick Shot to prove his own innocence, but Trick Shot instead ambushed him, shooting him in the chest with an arrow that dropped him. (Solo Avengers v1 #4) Trick Shot brought Hawkeye to one of the uninhabited Greek isles, supplied him with a bow and arrows, and challenged him to a death match. Trick Shot repeatedly goaded Hawkeye and eventually confronted him with a face to face duel, but Hawkeye, having realized that Trick Shot could have killed him several times if he had wanted to, deliberately missed, as did Trick Shot. Pushed by Hawkeye to explain himself, the frustrated Trick Shot revealed he was dying of cancer and wanted to go out fighting rather than die in a hospital bed. Trick Shot told Hawkeye he owed him and it was Hawkeye's duty to kill him, but Hawkeye refused, instead promising to help Trick Shot face what was to come. (Solo Avengers v1 #5)
