Golden Archer (Wyatt McDonald) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. A member of the Squadron Supreme, the character exists in the universe of that team, an alternate universe to Marvel's main shared universe, the Marvel Universe.
Although he was a Marvel Comics character, he was an analogue of the DC Comics hero Green Arrow. He has also gone by the codenames Hawkeye and Black Archer.
The Avenger Hawkeye of the Marvel Universe also briefly used the costumed identity of the Golden Archer.
The Golden Archer first appeared in Avengers #85 (Feb. 1971), and was created by Roy Thomas and John Buscema
The name "Golden Archer", in conjunction with the character's last name, is a pun on the restaurant chain McDonald's' well-known logo, the "Golden Arches".
Wyatt McDonald, an Australian cab driver in his civilian guise, was a master archer with a large selection of specialized trick arrows. He originally began his career as a masked superhero under the identity of Hawkeye. He developed a relationship with Linda Lewis (a.k.a. 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.
