Who is Kate Bishop to Hawkeye?
Contrary to popular belief Kate Bishop is not Hawkeye’s daughter but she is his young protege. The character was created in 2005 by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung, and is being played by Hailee Steinfeld in the Disney+ series.
Bishop calls herself “the world’s greatest archer” and in the comics she stepped up to protect the public after Hawkeye died. She comes from a wealthy family and is one of the original founders of the Young Avengers.

Kate Bishop has no blood relationship to Clint Barton, and Hawkeye’s real daughter is called Lila Barton.
