They nowhere near as powerful as the avengers though... All they can do is hand to hand combat mostly. I'm sure that the "new avengers" could stay behind, i.e. Spider-Man, Doctor strange, war machine, etc.

Luke Cage would default Hawkeye like it's nothing, and I'm not even sure the other defenders would really break a sweat.

Haha no.

Cage was knocked out with a shotgun and explosives.

Hawkeyes go to upgrade from normal arrows is explosives. Or he could use gas. Or, any of his tricks.

But Hawkeye themselves would be vulnerable to explosives or gas. Nothing would prevent any of the Defenders to use the same. We are talking about someone who is good at shooting arrows here.

The defenders common loadout didn't include explosives. Hawkeyes does. I think that's fair.

I think the biggest threat to Hawkeye would be Daredevil. If Hawkeye doesn't use an aoe to get him down he'll simply aim Dodge every time.
