Barbara 'Bobbi' Morse was first introduced ''Astonishing Tales #6'' though it took a while for her to get her character down. At first she was hinted to have some kind of psychic powers, then it was never mentioned again. To make a long story short, Bobbi was introduced as a biochemist and fiancé of the missing Dr Paul Allan, only for it to turn out she was really undercover for SHIELD, and Allan was an agent of AIM. After spending time as a jungle lady and bouncing around a little, she settled as a SHIELD agent and crime fighter, and was given the nickname 'Mockingbird' for her penchant to insult, or 'mock', opponents while fighting.
After becoming a freelance agent, Bobbi met Clint Barton, AKA the then-former Avenger {{Hawkeye}}, who was working as a security agent for Cross Tech Enterprises. The company he worked for was secretly corrupt, and with Clit's help Bobbi took down Crossfire, the company's head, and the two decided that, since they had natural chemitry, toskip the dating process and just get married. Bobbi joined Clint as a founding member of the ''West Coast Avengers'', or WCA, and the two endured a happy relationship.
Then, on a mission through time, Bobbi was hit with a love potion by the [[FaceHeelTurn recently gone insane]] [[GhostRider Phantom Rider]], who believed Bobbi was destined to belong to him. After he had already [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil consummated their 'relationship' with her]], Bobbi came back to her senses and, traumatized by the ordeal, [[FailureToSaveMurder allowed Phantom Rider to die by falling from a cliff]]. She kept the truth to herself until Phantom Rider's spirit caught up with her and Clint in the present and, the knowledge that Bobbi had killed someone, put a great strain on their relationship. Unable to get past his [[ThouShallNotKill hangups on killing]], the two began to divorce...
...Until they worked past their problems and rebuilt their relationship...
...And [[StuffedInTheFridge then she died]].
However, as luck would have it, [[{{Retcon}} it turned out that]] [[SecretInvasion Bobbi had been replaced by a skrull imposter years ago]] and the Bobbi that died wasn't the real Bobbi, but a sleeper agent who thought she was the real deal. Bobbi spent the time on the Skrull homeworld, being tortured by a Hawkeye-disguised Skrull, until she killed them, infiltrated the skrulls, and basically kicked a load of alien ass until she was reed and returned to Earth.
With her marriage to Clint over, the two decided to reunite their relationship, only for it to end when Clint and Bobbi realizes that her lifestyle and his are too conflicting. During this time, she made her own spy agency, World Counter-terrorism Agency ([[MytholoyGag WCA]]), and joined the NewAvengers, got some powers, and continued kicking a variety of ass and getting a few CrowningMomentOfAwesome while doing so.
Bobbi also got a cameo in one of the Micro-Episode prologues for AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes, then later a full guest episode as Mockingbird. She returned in her second season as a supporting character during the Skrull Secret Invasion Storyline [[spoiler: during which, she's revealed as being the Skrull Queen in disguise, in place of Spider-Woman.]] It was also recently announced that she will be the main character in a Live Action TV Show. No casting has been announced, but JephLeob has described the show as detailing her time after being recruited by SHIELD right out of college, as she evolves into the character from the comics, ala Smallville.
!! The Following Tropes apply to Bobbi:
* ActionGirl: A quintessential. She may originally not seem like much, but you have to remember, she spent most of her life ''without'' powers of any kind.
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: To DC's Black Canary.
* BackFromTheDead: Even though she appeared as a spirit a few times, she was revealed to be Alive all along, with the Bobbi that died being a skrull imposter. Admittedly, the Skrull honestly thought she was the real deal, so it may be that, even in death, she kept the form of Bobbi in the afterlife. Or, it wasn't thought out very well.
* BadAss: Again, she's a world class spy and martial artist and one of the most enduring Avengers.
** BadassNormal: She did most of her thing as a completely normal human being.
*** BadassAbnormal: Until now, of course.
** BadassBookworm: She's got a PHD in Biochemistry. In other words, you should be calling her ''Dr'' Bobbi Morse.
* BattleCouple: With Hawkeye.
* CainAndAbel: Not quite, but after he found out she was alive, her brother Ben was ''not'' happy to see Bobbi. Its safe to assume that if he ever gets brought back, it probably won't be pleasant.
* CoolShades: After SecretInvasion, became her default look.
* DeadpanSnarker, TheSnarkKnight, YouFightLikeACow: She was given the nickname Mockingbird because, in battle, she was constantly cracking jokes and mocking her opponents, and outside of battle she always has a quip ready. Tuned down in ''Hawkeye and Mockingbird'' due to her more authoritative position requiring her to be more serious, but she wasn't afraid to make a snarky comment when needed.
* DeadLittleSister: Inverted, Bobbi ''is'' the dead little sister to her brother Ben, though when he found out she was alive he took it fairly badly.
* DeadlyDodging: As a talented acrobat who's main weapon of choice is a pair of metal rods she can turn into a bo staff, she's became something of a master of leaping out of the way of gunfire.
* HandicappedBadass: She's long-sighted, and needs contacts to see properly. When she came back, she switched to some CoolShades with built in night vision.
* HollywoodNerd: Averted, the fact she's a nerd is almost never brought up. In the upcoming TV show, she was described by Jeph Loeb as being a 'Peter Parker-like nerd'.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Due to her brash attitude and, as of late, high levels of PTSD, she can come off as a bit of a jerk. This is mostly a defense mechanism to hold others out, and personally she's one of the most loyal and moral of the Avengers. Doesn't care about the whole killing thing, though.
* MadeOfIron: Afer Nick Fury gave her a super soldier formula, she became this. Bobbi's now capable of taking excessive punishment without falter.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: She's now a lot stronger than previously, yet she's not exactly muscle bound.
* TrueLoveIsBoring: There's a reason her and Hawkeye tend to have problems.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Just like Hawkeye, Mockingbird doesn't exactly get much credit. She's still one of he toughest and most versatile of the Avengers though.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Hawkeye. No matter how much they bicker and argue, they're still very close even when not currently romantically linked.
[[caption-width-right:300:She may be a scientist, but she can kick your ass just as good as [[CaptainAmerica Cap]] and [[IronMan Tony]] can.]]

A Mockingbird is a small type of bird that-
Wait, wrong Mockingbird.
Mockingbird. [[TheAvengers Avenger.]] [[SpyFiction Secret Agent.]] [[ActionGirl Badass.]] [[BadassBookworm Biochemist.]] You name any type of female superhero, chances are she's been it once.
