When Tony Stark threw a towel at Steve Rogers in public.

(Or, when sassy manchild accidentally threw a towel at human Dorito.)

“I did you a favor, you know.”

“By hitting me in the head with a hot towel?”

“It was your shoulder and fortunately protected by like eight pounds of muscle. And yes! Now you have a cameo in an interview with me.”

“How exactly is that — ”

“Your surprised-twelve-year-old face is now inextricably linked with me looking cool.”

“You know I thought it was an accident but replaying the footage, you’re looking right at the camera. You really did deliberately pelt me with a towel.”

"Chris, if this is the first time in your life you’ve been assaulted with a towel, you had a much less homoerotic high school gym experience than I did."

He’s both a foil and a tether; an anchor. I was interested in the two of them having a blood-is-thicker-than-water relationship. The last time they had seen each other Barney was threatening to murder him and Clint had stolen all of his money from him. Barney’s been a super villain and a killer and a real monster, and not just to Clint — so I wanted to show that when Barney was really down on his luck and needed somebody to help him, the one person who couldn’t say no to him was his baby brother Clint.

I suspect there’s lots of ways to interpret their relationship. [Laughs] And I’d much rather let readers interpret than give them my interpretation. I don’t know if there’s a right or a wrong answer. It was this or Clint talking to a sock puppet for five issues.
