ALTERNATE VERSIONS

In the future, Iron Lad was determined to stop Kang's conquests throughout time. One version he came across was Kang's Avengers, who were his aged friends from the Young Avengers. Kang was not only the leader but an aged Iron Lad who had traveled to a time in which the Young Avengers went to war with the Avengers over the fate of the Scarlet Witch. In the conflict, both Wanda and Billy were killed but the rest of the team escaped with Iron Lad/Kang into the timestream. Their team prioritized the extermination of the Badoon threat which was deemed so severe as to justify genocide. Kate Bishop was now Hawkeye and she wore a costume styled after the classic Clint Barton suit. She was also pregnant with twins via Quicksilver, formerly Speed. Ultimately, Iron Lad managed to prevent the events that led to this future Avengers team forming.

 


After Clint convinced Kate to let the three dangerous children from Project Communion be taken away, it triggered a future 30 Years Later. Kate had left their partnership and established an organization headquartered at the Nest, staffed with a support group called the Hawkeyes. She convinced her estranged mentor Clint to help fix their mistake decades ago and rescue the three now-grown children from the grasp of the Mandarin. Her working relationship with SHIELD backfired when they betrayed her and they ended up captured by the villain. The Mandarin and Kate had worked out that SHIELD was responsible for framing them both for the destruction committed by Project Communion but he had managed to capture one of the trio. He demanded for Kate to access their power for use of revenge against SHIELD, but Kate called in a favor from her ex-boyfriend Noh-Varr for a timely rescue. They found the other two kids at SHIELD and managed to free them as well, only for Maria Hill to shoot all three dead. A distraught Kate barely had time to mourn before the erasure of their reality.


In a future where the heroes won, Kamala Khan was president of a Utopian-like world. Old Woman Laura, formely Wolverine, was dying and her final wish was to rid the world of the last villain, Dr. Doom. She broke into Doom’s stronghold with the help of the new Wolverine Gabby, a cyborg Maria Hill, Captain Marvel and Kate Bishop. Kate took a shot at a Doom-bot with a special bullet in order to download vital information for taking down Doom. While Laura distracted and ultimately killed Doom, Kate and Gabby released many of Doom's hero prisoners from the dungeon.

 

 


In the Ultimate universe, Katie Bishop went to Brooklyn Visions Academy where she met and started dating Miles Morales. After their relationship became rather serious, it was a bit surprisening that she freaked out and ran away after Miles revealed that he was Spider-Man. Her reaction became more clear when it was revealed that both of her parents belonged to HYDRA and she herself had been conditioned with their teachings. When Miles came to talk to Katie, her father captured Miles for experimentation. Despite Katie regretting her actions, Miles broke up with her after his rescue by his teammates in the Ultimates.

 


Lady Katerine of Bishop came from the Battleworld domain King James’ England where she stole from the rich to give to the poor. Eventually captured by Punisher Sheriff, she was sent to The Shield as punishment where she soon met America Chavez as a member of the Hel-Rangers. Once The Shield fell to the hordes of the Deadlands, the pair left via star portal to explore the rest of Battleworld. Additional Battleworld Kates included a version that lived on the all women hero island of Arcadia as part of A-Force and one that survived in the Wastelands along with an Old Man Logan.
