Happy birthday, Hawkeye! Jeremy Renner, who starred in "Marvel's The Avengers" as Earth's mightiest sharpshooter, turns 42 today. As one of the stars of last year's superhero epic, Renner is one of the many Hollywood heroes we're thankful for on a weekly basis.

To that end, we thought we'd cook up a few ideas to bolster Hawkeye's arsenal, just in time for Renner's birthday.
