Biography
Son of an Avenger
Ultron offensive
Cooper lives in a farmhouse in Missouri with his mother and younger sister, Lila. Their entire existence is kept a secret due to his father's dangerous fieldwork for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers. Natasha Romanoff was the only other person to be aware of Barton having a family and she became close with them, even developing an aunt-like relationship with Cooper and Lila.
When his father returned with the Avengers, Cooper and Lila greeted him with hugs. Later when his father returned home from battling Ultron, retiring from the Avengers, Cooper and Lila were reading books. Shortly after, his mother gave birth to Nathaniel Barton.[1]
Snap
In 2018, Cooper and his family had a picnic, during which he and Nathaniel played catch. Suddenly, Cooper, his sister, brother, and mother were killed by Thanos in the Snap. Five years later, they were brought back by the Hulk's snap. The Barton family attended Tony Stark's funeral, who sacrificed himself to defeat Thanos and his army.[2]
