Ronin's Suit

Ronin's Suit was a suit worn by Clint Barton during his days as the crusading vigilante Ronin. After returning to the Avengers, Barton left the suit at the Avengers Compound. It was later retrieved from the Compound's ruins and placed for sale on a black market auction, where it was stolen and donned by Kate Bishop and Grills before Barton reclaimed it. After briefly wearing the suit once more to fight Maya Lopez, Barton burned the suit to prevent it from resurfacing.
==History==
===Ronin's Retribution===
In 2018, following the Snap, Clint Barton acquired the Ronin suit and sword in order to disguise himself as he traveled the world in search of criminals. For five years, Barton wore the suit and massacred any criminals that had survived the Snap as he deemed them unworthy.
In 2023, Barton traveled to Tokyo, Japan and massacred the Yakuza unit stationed there. He then confronted their leader, Akihiko, in the street. As they dueled, Barton got the upper hand and brutally killed him using his sword. Immediately after, he was found by Natasha Romanoff.
===Attack on the Avengers Compound===
Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff left Japan and traveled via Quinjet to the Avengers Compound in New York. When he arrived, he removed the Ronin suit. Following the Time Heist, Barton donned the Ronin's Suit once more. Moments after the Blip was initiated, the Avengers Compound was bombed by an alternate Thanos, which then led into the Battle of Earth. When the battle ended, Barton took off his suit and left it atop the ruins of the Compound.
===Stolen by Kate Bishop===
By December 2024, the Ronin suit was recovered from the Avengers Compound's ruins by black market dealers. In December, it was brought to New York City and taken to be bid upon during an auction in a hotel cellar. Armand Duquesne III and his nephew, Jack Duquesne both bid upon the suit, with Duquesne bidding higher than his uncle.
However, the auction was interrupted when the Tracksuit Mafia broke inside. During the ensuing chaos, Kate Bishop ran into the room and retrieved the suit. She quickly put the suit on and attempted to fight off the Mafia. After the Mafia stole a wristwatch, she chased after them outside and found Lucky attacking one of the Mafia.
When the rest of the Mafia came outside, Lucky ran away into the street. Bishop watched and ran after him, rescuing him from the ongoing traffic. She then proceeded to take him to her apartment and went back out to Duquesne III's brownstone in order to investigate more about him, but ended up finding him dead. When she left, she was ambushed by the Mafia, and tried to defeat them. However, she was quickly outnumbered, but was saved when Clint Barton arrived.
===Roleplayer's Experience===
Clint Barton and Kate Bishop returned to her apartment and she took off the suit, getting changed. When Barton asked her where she had gone in the suit, the Tracksuit Mafia arrived outside and threw a Molotov cocktail through a window. A fire then started, causing Bishop, Barton, and Lucky to escape the apartment, accidentally leaving the suit behind. Shortly, the FDNY arrived to put out the fire, and one of the firefighters named Grills found the suit and took it for his personal use.
Later, when Barton returned to the apartment to retrieve the suit, he found it was gone. After finding out via social media who had the suit, Barton went to the NYC Larpers in Central Park and met Gilbert. After allowing Gilbert to win, Barton was given the suit back.
===In Storage===
Clint Barton took the suit to a locker room and placed it in a locker for safe-keeping, knowing he needed to keep it under his radar for insurance purposes.
===Final Usage===
Clint Barton donned the suit one final time to meet with Maya Lopez at Fat Man Auto Repair, the place, where he as Ronin, had slain her father as well as several other Tracksuits. Barton knocked out Kazi Kazimierczak and several other Tracksuits before clashing with Lopez, ultimately beating her.
Barton then unmasked, revealing his identity and warned Lopez not to threaten his family, as well as telling her that Kingpin was the one who gave him the anonymous tip off to the Tracksuits meeting, that led to her father's death.
===Destruction===
Clint Barton bought the suit back with him to his homestead on Christmas Day, and after spending time with his family, took it outside and placed it, folded up, on his cooker. Inviting Kate Bishop to join him in finally putting the dark past of the Ronin behind him, Barton doused the suit in petrol before allowing Bishop to light a match and drop it onto the suit. The suit sparked and burst ablaze.
==Capabilities==
The suit seemed to have some protective capabilities because Clint Barton could take a slash from the Ronin's Retractable Sword, a sword sharp enough to cut through Outriders effortlessly, to the arm and only suffer a minor cut.
