Duquesne.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">The character was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck and was introduced in The Avengers comics in 1965.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">Introduced as a supervillain, Duquesne had grown up as a privileged individual living in a fictional Southeast Asian country in which he later joined a communist rebellion.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;tl&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">???? <a

his wing and trained him in armed combat, alongside archer Trick Shot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">However, when Clint tried to turn Duquesne over to the law for theft, the Swordsman badly beat Barton until Trick Shot saved him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">As Barton\u2019s former mentor, Duquesne later turned up to join the Avengers alongside Barton to take advantage of the popularity of being a superhero.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">While initially being rejected due to his criminal behaviour, he later joined but as a double agent for The Mandarin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">The Swordsman subsequently served as both an ally and foe of the Avengers and Hawkeye in the years to come.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">Who is The Swordsman in
