• Canon point: end of first Avengers movie (see: icon) when they all go their separate ways. Internal justification for why he can focus on/invest in being in Xistentia and not just trying to get back to his family on Earth: he wants to quadruple-check that he's fully free of Loki's influence before being anywhere near noncombatant loved ones, and saving them by saving reality = two birds, one stone.
Updated powers/abilities: • master-level archer: exceptional aim, seen "send[ing] an arrow into moving targets with pin point accuracy". Supranormal spacial awareness, split-second calculation and anticipation demonstrated by shooting "an enemy warrior off a fast moving vehicle while looking the other way."[MCU wiki] His precision is not affected by arrows having different attachments (grappling wire, explosives, etc. from his trick quiver) so he's adaptable; can fire arrows with supranormal rapidity. • hand-to-hand combat, both armed and un-. (He's shown sometimes using his bow as a shortstaff.) He's extremely advanced as he's shown as a formidable opponent to Black Widow. Of course she beats him, but it takes her whole minutes longer to knock him out while she's on her feet than it takes her to pwn a roomful of mafiosos while tied to a chair. • veteran espionage operative, whose training, while (paraphrasing Nat) not covering gods and magic, probably does include other forms of weaponry and tactics. • can pilot small aircraft.
May I keep these two purely headcanony things? • dead reckoning (learned) <- since he spends so much time staying high up getting a bird's eye view, and Radiolab has taught me that this is the way to envision the world to get dead reckoning • can draw really well. Not so great at making things up but can draw things he's seen very accurately, from maps to portraits. <- 'cause, y'know, he's got a good eye…? /winkgroan/
