So do I, but I really want them to give us a Barton Hawkeye too. I'll be mad if they don't

With some exceptions I've just never liked the idea of the "sidekick" or the copycat ...its just lazy writing.
Robin, yeah, he gets a pass (but not multiple Robins). DC has been the worst offender of this and frankly I can do without the Batgirls, Batwomen, etc.
Bucky was never more than a 3rd rate feeble copy of Robin- Stan was right to want him to stay dead.
The Phantom, Blue Beetle-those are legacy characters. Iron Fist has been retconned into one and I'm still meh on that. I like Miles Morales, but why they can't give him his own name by now is silly, to me. And when I saw this caption I alsothought it was further adventures of Hawkeye (Clint Barton).
Miles really needs his own name, as long as it isn't Kid Arachnid

Excellent point about Miles and by extension all the other characters who share/steal famous names.
I mean, Eric Masterson was Thor for a minute. But once the true Thor returned he became Thunderstrike. John Walker became the US Agent. Rhodes became Warmachine. Kelsey Leigh become Lionheart. All then moved on forging their own legacies.. it really does seem lazy to just have 2, and sometimes 3 characters with the sane name running around.

I like Kate , one of the better legacy characters but Marvel really needs to do some house cleaning to get just ONE character with the same name running around their universe whether it be Hawkeye, Cap, Widow, Hulk, Spidey, Ghost Rider.. shoot.. may be easier to name a character that only has one version
