==History==
Charles "Charlie" Bernard Barton was born on August 4th to Harold and Edith Barton. He grew up working in his father's butcher shop in Waverly, Iowa with his younger brother Clint. Their father was abusive, especially when he drank and continually beat the young boys. Barney taught Clint how to fight and helped him to improve his aim. Harold's drinking eventually cost him his life along with his wife when both died in a car accident, leaving the two boys orphans. The boys were placed in numerous foster homes, and when Clint turned 13, the boys ran away from one of them. The boys eventually came across a carnival.
The two boys took up odd jobs at the Carson Carnival of Traveling Wonder as roustabouts, and both became impressed with one of the star performers, Jacques Duquesne also known as the Swordsman. The Swordsman asked the boys if they wished to help in his act and while Barney declined, Clint jumped at the chance. After many successful shows, the Swordsman asked fellow performer Trickshot to train Clint in archery. At this point Barney accused Clint of being used by the Swordsman.
