Golden Archer - Squadron Supreme

Wyatt MacDonald, a master archer with large selection of specialized trick arrows, originally began his career as a masked superhero under the identity of Hawkeye, although he later settled in on his more well known persona as the Golden Archer. The Archer developed a relationship with Linda Lewis (aka Lady Lark), a former vocalist whose vocal cords had been altered by the criminal mastermind Dr. Decibel. Together they fought crime in the city of New Babylon, eventually gaining enough fame to draw the attention of the Squadron Supreme, who invited them to the team early on in that team's history.

During the Utopia Project, MacDonald's relationship with Lewis became strained as she developed romantic feelings for fellow member Blue Eagle. In order to save his relationship with her, MacDonald used a cerebral inhibitor to instill a near-irrational obsession in Lewis' mind for MacDonald. However, he eventually realized the unethical nature of his actions and left the Squadron to join the Redeemers, a team founded by Nighthawk to oppose the Squadron's near dominance of the entire globe. In an all out battle between the two teams, Blue Eagle fatally fractured the Archer's skull with his mace. He was cryogenically frozen in the hopes of one day being restored to life.
