Hawkeye: The Series is an ongoing Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes fanfiction written by The Nerd King on Fanfiction.Net. The story follows Hawkeye, alongside an updated Avengers team, as they battle familiar and unfamiliar villains. It also features DC characters, and X-Men characters. The story is arranged in two-chapter "episodes", including:

  • Episode 1: "The Reaper Returns"
  • Episode 2: "Newbies"
  • Episode 3: "Meet the Bat-Family"
  • Episode 4: "Why I Hate the Circus"
  • Episode 5: "Widow and Devil"
  • Episode 6: "Mistaken Identity"
  • Episode 7: "Birds in Suits"
  • Episode 8: "Insert Name Here, This is Getting Freakin' Hard"
Tropes used in Hawkeye: The Series include:
  • Adaptational Villainy: Inverted. In Wolverine and the X-Men, Gambit was a deceitful thief-for-hire and Quicksilver was more of a thug than anything else. In Hawkeye: The Series. the two have acted that way, but genuinely feel bad about it.
  • Badass Normal: Hawkeye, Mockingbird, and Batman all count as this.
  • Continuity Nod: When Magneto breaks into Avengers Mansion, he attacks the Avengers with Iron Man suits from a room below him. Hawkeye's response is "Tony still keeps these here? What is wrong with that guy?", referencing how Ultron controlled the Iron Man armors in Avengers Mansion during the old show, making them attack the Avengers.
  • Crossover: The story mainly takes place in the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes universe, but crosses over with The Batman and Wolverine and the X-Men.
  • Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Batman beats down Hawkeye and Mockingbird. Presumably, both on his own.
  • Put on a Bus: Iron Man, Yellow jacket, Hulk, and Mrs. Marvel suffer brain damage from brainwashing and have to leave the Avengers. They're immediately replaced.
