Wanted to go ahead and get this out. Will work on the Sample Post once I get back home. Also, [@Sep] as you are Iron Man wanted to ask your thoughts on something. Canonically, when Scott gets out of prison he gets a job at Stark Industries. I didn't wanna make that decision without consulting you so what are your thoughts?

[INDENT][INDENT][i]In this story of Hawkeye and Ant-Man I will be starting at the very beginning of their heroic life. Clint Barton's early life will be exactly the same. He even still chooses to emulate Iron Man by dressing up and using his skills to fight crime. Unfortunately for him, the police mistook him for another weirdly dressed up thief. He tries to write this misconception but is found by Batroc who blackmails him using the information of Clint's time with Tiboldt's Circus. Batroc brings him and a few others together in order to steal the Seismo-Bomb.

Scott Lang's life up to this point is also very similar. About a month after being released from prison, Scott's daughter Cassie was diagnosed with a serious congenital heart condition. Between the money that Scott and his ex-wife were making they couldn't muster up the cash to pay for medical bills. Desperate to help his daughter Scott turned back to crime. He lied saying that he simply received a pay raise and in the meantime, they have been able to pay for medical bills. But one night coming back from a haul Scott is confronted by Batroc who desires the use of Scott's skills. At first, Scott refuses but Batroc shows him pictures of Scott breaking into various places effectively blackmailing Scott into helping Batroc and a few others in stealing the Seismo-Bomb.

During the heist, both Clint and Scott realize the other doesn't want to go through with this, and over the course of events, the two stop the heists alerting those who had the bomb of the villain's presence. The police eventually show up but Batroc gets away while the rest of his crew get arrested including Scott. He tells them that Batroc was threatening him but as he is an ex-convict they don't believe him. Clint works to find proof but can't find any. Scott is eventually let out on bail which his ex-wife, Maggie, pays for and which was only posted as he did help get the others caught. Maggie doesn't know if she believes Scott and despite helping him out if threatening to fight for full custody of her.

The two both know that since Batroc escaped it was likely that he'd be coming for them. Scott also reinvigorates his desire to clean up his act. So, in the meantime, they decide to team up to watch each other's backs as well as using what they know to help people and maybe figure out who hired Batroc.[/i][/indent][/indent]

They want to help people but because of their pasts, they keep getting dragged into various messes that alone neither would be able to get themselves out of. I've always thought that the small parallels between the two was quite interesting but never really thought much of it until now.

I have always thought a pairing of these two would be quite interesting as they are both loud-mouthed numbskulls with no powers yet do what they can despite themselves for the greater good. The first story arc they have will involve Batroc and they will be trying to figure out who hired him. Along the way, they will do battle with various low-tier villains slowly uncovering the over-arching story as they go along just like the CW. I have more 'season' ideas planned out but for now the plan of season one for "Hawkeye and the Ant" starts here.[/i][/indent][/indent]

As a child, Clint and his brother Barney had it rough. Their father was an alcoholic who'd occasionally get rough. Barney would teach Clint how to fight and helped him improve his aim. When they were young both of their parents died and the boys would go from foster home to foster home until they encountered and subsequently joined a circus. As a member of the circus, Clint would hone his skills as an archer and would eventually be brought in to the crime side of the circus joining them in various crimes. He eventually grew to hate being a criminal and then one day he saw a news report of the hero Iron Man. It struck some inspiration in him and that's his story.[/hider]

[hider=Scott Lang]Scott Lang was born and raised in Coral Gables, Florida, the son of Bob Lang. He later became an electronic engineer and met and married Maggie Rae. Together they had a daughter Cassandra "Cassie" Lang. Although he was an electronics expert he could not support his family doing repair work, so he turned his talents to burglary. Apprehended, he served his prison sentence and was paroled for good behavior. During his time in prison, however, Maggie divorced him. Lang had furthered his studies of electronics while in prison and once he got out somehow found a job as an electrician[sub]Wanted to ask Sep about this as canonically the job Scott gets is for Stark Industries but I will leave that decision up to you Sep[/sub]. Soon after, his daughter fell ill will a terrible heart disease. After this is where the story will happen.[/hider]

[hider=Maggie Rae]The ex-wife of Scott Lang and mother of Cassie Lang. Maggie and Scott met in college and they had a very stereotypical romance. After college, they got married and had Cassie. When Maggie discovered that Scott had resorted to stealing she tried to get him to stop. When he was arrested she was hurt that he didn't listen to her. She divorced him but wouldn't do anything to try and separate Scott and Cassie and once he got out she willingly let Cassie stay with him every other week. However, after this recent arrest, she says she is going to fight to take full custody if he doesn't stop committing crimes.[/hider]

[hider=Cassie Lang]Cassie Lang is the daughter of Scott and Peggy. Despite what Scott does she still adores him. Largely in part to the fact that he's the quote-unquote, nice parent. She does genuinely get along with him better tending to have a lot of similar likes and personality traits. Recently she has been afflicted with a congenital heart condition and has to take medication in between waiting for her parents to be able to afford surgery. She often has to stay at the hospital in case her situation becomes worse.[/hider]

Other characters will go here as and when they’re introduced.[/i][/indent][/indent]

I mean I see no real problem with it. Stark Industries is a massive organisation, ex cons aren't a problem for me. My question is about Hawkeye and Iron Man as his motivation. Iron Man has been active five years. A little longer than other heroes but he has exclusively been seen taking out arms dealers, if you're okay with that then sure.
