Alexei Shostakov Writer
Jim McCann revealed "We're going to learn that there is far more to the Ronin identity than anyone knew, pre-dating [the first two versions] before [the third iteration]. Why does Ronin exist? That's a central mystery we will tackle."
Alexei Shostakov is the third individual who dons the Ronin identity.
Eric Brooks A character (whose identity is initially kept from the reader) is introduced in the
Mighty Avengers and dons the Halloween-type Spider Hero costume during the
Infinity storyline, and is supplied with the Ronin costume from a "big box of Clint Barton's old stuff" during the
Inhumanity storyline. Before being revealed in
canon, a leaked script revealed the fourth iteration's true identity to be
Eric Brooks.
Bullseye In the
Hawkeye: Freefall storyline, Barton is Ronin once more to launch an attack on
the Hood's criminal empire while the Hood eventually hires Bullseye to find out Ronin's true identity. After learning that Barton is Ronin, the Hood then orders Bullseye to commit crimes dressed in the Ronin costume to ruin Barton's reputation. ==Other versions==
