She is soon revealed to be the highly trained Agent 19 of S.H.I.E.L.D., taking the moniker Huntress in Marvel Super Action #1 in 1976, and Mockingbird in Marvel Team-Up #95 in 1980, before going on to be a member of several Avengers teams, briefly marrying and subsequently divorcing Clint Barton / Hawkeye. Mockingbird has been described as one of Marvel's most notable and powerful female heroes. In media set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Bobbi Morse appeared in the second and third seasons of the television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2014–2016), portrayed by Adrianne Palicki, while the role of Agent 19 of S.H.I.E.L.D. is adapted to Laura Barton, portrayed by Linda Cardellini in the 2015 film Avengers: Age of Ultron and the Disney+ series Hawkeye (2021). Publication history The character first appears as Barbara Morse in the Ka-Zar story in Astonishing Tales #6 (June 1971) written by Gerry Conway and pencilled by Barry Smith.

Notable quotes

“The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again.”
— Charles William Beebe, The Bird: Its Form and Function (1906).
“Better one byrde in hand than ten in the wood.”
— John Heywood, Proverbs (1546), pt. 1, ch. 11
“I was always a lover of soft-winged things.”
— Victor Hugo, I Was Always a Lover.
“The francolin's voice is the glory of the fields.”
— Sumerian proverb, Collection II at , .
““What is that?” I gasped, nearly blinded by the unexpected vermillion patches on the blackbird’s epaulets. I watched as the bird threw back its head, opened wide its beak and let out a sound so primal it left me marvelling: this was as close as I’d ever stand to dinosaurs. If this bird had been here all along, I thought, what else had I been missing?”
— Julia Zarankin, Field Notes from an Unintentional Birder (2020), , p. 23
“From nesting, brooding and sex, to metabolism, development and even the diseases that afflicted them, many of the traits found in birds today were inherited from the dinosaurs. The boundary between dinosaurs and birds has become utterly blurred.”
— John Pickrell (2014), Flying Dinosaurs: How Fearsome Reptiles Became Birds, Columbia University Press, p. xvii
