Vasio

Vasio is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer Matt Fraction and artist David Aja, first appearing in Hawkeye Vol. 4 #1 in 2012. Vasio is a dog, specifically a Shiba Inu, who lives with Clint Barton, also known as Hawkeye, in his Brooklyn apartment.

Vasio is not a super-powered being nor a trained operative. He is presented as a loyal and often chaotic companion to Clint. His presence adds a layer of domesticity and humor to Clint's otherwise action-packed life. Vasio frequently gets into trouble, sometimes inadvertently aiding or hindering Clint's superhero activities. His antics often stem from his canine nature, such as chasing squirrels or getting tangled in equipment.

Despite his non-superhero status, Vasio has become a popular element of the Hawkeye series. His relationship with Clint is a key component of the characterization, showcasing Clint's softer side and his ability to care for something beyond his own well-being. The design of Vasio by David Aja is also notable, capturing the essence of a dog with simple yet expressive lines. Vasio's role in the comic is primarily that of a pet and a source of relatable, everyday challenges for the protagonist.
