He is the man with just a bow and arrow among the mighty warriors of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but actor Jeremy Renner says he would not change anything about his Hawkeye/ Clint Barton, a superhero without any superpowers.

"I wouldn't change anything," Renner said about Hawkeye, calling the character's "tenacity" his real strength.

"I'm really content with the character I have learnt and come to understand. I love the idea of playing a superhero without any superpowers. I think it is f**king awesome. Why do I think it is awesome - because it is relatable to people. He has just a bow and an arrow...," the actor said in a group interview here.

Renner said his character is relatable to children because he is a normal human being with "high skill set".

"What I love about Clint is that he is very accessible. He has a high skill set and never misses a target but what makes him a real superhero? People have to think about that. 'Oh, is he the weakest guy in the team or it is tenacity and strength and heart, like a lion's heart?' It is a superpower that is more obtainable. I wouldn't change anything because it is an amazing message to send to a kid."
