This week’s What If…? episode is the biggest of the animated series so far, featuring the entire multiverse coming under threat from a variant of Ultron who won and got himself the Infinity Stones. By the end of episode 8, Ultron was victorious, the Watcher was sent into hiding and heroes had died (yet again). But there’s one other moment that’s causing fans to lose their minds more than any other: the revelation of Hawkeye’s middle name.
Black Widow and Hawkeye decide they need Armin Zola to help them combat Ultron and so track down a backup of his AI in a HYDRA base in Siberia. When they boot him up, Zola identifies the pair of them. “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” he says. “Romanoff, Natalia Alianovna. Barton, Clinton Francis.” Yep, it’s official. Hawkeye’s middle name is Francis – as Clint explains to a surprised Nat, it’s a family name on the side of his “mee-maw”.
