History:
(Hawkeye
IV#1) - When one of his neighbors, nicknamed Grills, began grilling on
the roof of his apartment building, Clint Barton, Aimee and many other
residents of the apartment complex went onto the roof for dinner and
socializing. While at the get together, Aimee watched as Barton tried
to bust a beer bottle by flicking a coin into it.
(Hawkeye IV#4) - Aimee was on
the rooftop for another
cookout and get together when Clint Barton was snatched up by
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. She watched as Barton was brought into the
S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier and the Helicarrier departed (see
comments).
(Hawkeye
IV#6 (fb)) - On December
14th, Aimee attended a holiday get
together with her neighbors on the rooftop of her apartment complex as
snow fell around them. Upon seeing Grills speaking with Clint Barton
and overhearing them talking about "Hulk-Guy," Aimee walked up to them
and asked if they were talking about the superhero "Hulk-Guy." Barton
(secretly the superhero Hawkeye) claimed they were just having a joyous
Kwanzaa and Aimee responded by telling Barton that there was a group of
guys with baseball bats out in front of the apartment complex. Hours
later, after Hawkeye fought his way out of an ambush from the so-called
Tracksuit Mafia, he realized he had not gotten his friend Kate Bishop a
Christmas present and he decided to pay a visit to Aimee's apartment.
Opening the door in her pajamas to see a bruised and beaten Clint
Barton, Aimee commented on how terrible Clint looked. Ignoring Aimee's
comments, Barton asked if Aimee was still a bike messenger and if she
could deliver Kate's present.
(Hawkeye IV#9) - While trying to locate Clint Barton, Hawkeye (Kate
Bishop) briefly stopped her moped by 187 Sherwood as Aimee was about to
get on her bike.
(Hawkeye IV#12) - As Clint's
brother Barney rang Clint's apartment
doorbell, Aimee approached, carrying her bike. When Aimee greeted
Barney with a "Mornin'," Barney said "mornin'" back then asked Aimee
for spare change. Aimee shot Barney a dirty look and continued on her
way.
(Hawkeye IV#13) - After Grills was killed by the mercenary Clown, Aimee attended his funeral alongside many of her neighbors. She was crying when Clint Barton and Kate Bishop arrived for the funeral. She later attended a rooftop barbecue with many of the other neighbors, during which Grills' father manned the grill in his son's absence.
(Hawkeye IV#19) - Aimee and several other apartment complex neighbors were summoned to the roof, where Clint Barton informed them that recent injuries had left him deaf. She then watched as Clint revealed that his injuries were at the hands of the so-called Tracksuit Mafia and she, alongside the other neighbors, were soon rallied by Clint to stand up to the Tracksuit Mafia together.
(Hawkeye IV#21 (fb) - BTS) -
Aimee and most of the other neighbors worked on a plan against the
Tracksuit Mafia, her part being to pull an old vintage car out of
storage and use it to block entrances into the apartment.
(Hawkeye IV#21) - As the neighbors prepared for the confrontation with the Tracksuit Mafia, Aimee was on her bicycle as Simone and her children left in a taxi for their own protection. When Clint Barton noticed the approaching vans of the Tracksuit Mafia, he yelled for Deke and Aimee to go forward with their parts of the plan. Deke asked Aimee to be safe and buckle up and after she told Deke to do the same, she rode down the street on her bike, grumbling that she needed to get out of the city. While the Tracksuit Mafia began their attack on the apartment complex, Aimee arrived at the storage unit and quickly pulled out the keys to the vintage automobile she was tasked with getting. She then drove the car back to the apartment complex, running into any of the Tracksuit Mafia she could as she arrived. She then crashed the car in a very specific spot in front of the complex as to bottleneck the invading Tracksuit Mafia at the front entrance of the complex.
(Hawkeye IV#22 (fb)) - Kate Bishop arrived on the scene minutes
later and found Aimee unconscious in the car. Waking her up, Kate asked
Aimee if she were with still with them. Blood dripping down her
forehead and face, a woozy Aimee greeted Kate and asked if they had
beaten the bad guys yet, to which Kate replied that they were about to.
(Hawkeye IV#22) - A bandaged Aimee later helped the neighbors clean
up in the aftermath of the Tracksuit Mafia's invasion and ultimate
defeat.
(All-New Hawkeye I#4) - Aimee
attended a rooftop apartment complex with her neighbors, where she
spoke with one of the Project Communion children that Clint Barton and
Kate Bishop was taking care of.
(Hawkeye: Freefall#3) - Aimee was
walking through the apartment complex halls, listening to music and
staring at her cellphone, when Clint Barton and his ally Bryce Bandau
walked by carrying a large S.H.I.E.L.D. crate. Clint asked Aimee to
hold the door but she was completely immersed in her cellphone and
didn't hear Clint due to her headphones. When Clint repeated his
request in a scream, Aimee looked up and greeted Clint, asking what was
in the box. Clint claimed it was a sofa and the suspicious Aimee
replied by asking if S.H.I.E.L.D. made sofas now, at which point Clint
responded by saying S.H.I.E.L.D. had to do something these days.
Comments: Created by Matt Fraction and David Aja.
The appearance in Hawkeye IV#4 is somewhat debatable. There is a woman on the roof of the apartment complex with a hairstyle that sort of resembles Aimee's but the hair is colored light brown instead of Aimee's usual pink. The character is also not mentioned by name in the issue so it could very well be a different neighbor (one with brown hair) instead of Aimee. It also just be a coloring error or perhaps Aimee's natural hair color is light brown and she had not re-dyed it pink at that point. For now, I'm including the appearance in this profile but if something ever comes along to say it was not Aimee, I'll update the profile to reflect this.
Aimee appeared to be a lesbian in Hawkeye IV#6, as she answered the door without pants on and there was a woman, also in her underwear, behind her inside the house. That seemed to suggest that the other woman was Aimee's lover. She is also seen holding the woman's hand in Hawkeye IV#19.
Aimee's whole look seemed to have changed by Hawkeye: Freefall#3. She was back to her natural (we think) hair color of light brown (well maybe? It's brown in one panel but looks pink in the two smaller panels) instead of the usual pink, she was wearing glasses, she was thinner and was dressed more casual in a sweater and jeans vs. the black "Goth" look she sported in all of her appearances prior to that issue. She was called a "kid" by Kate Bishop (who herself is a bit on the younger side) so perhaps the "Goth" look was a phase she was going through, one she was possibly growing out of by the time we see her in Hawkeye: Freefall#3. I mean, there was a period of five real life years between her appearance in All-New Hawkeye I#4 and Hawkeye: Freefall#3, which is roughly (give or take) a little over a year in Marvel's sliding time scale so she definitely could've changed her look in that time.
