Bullseye is Benjamin Pointdexter. He is a super assassin, that works for the Kingpin from the Daredevil comics.He grew up in The Bronx, where he lived with his brother and his abusive father. His brother's main form of recreation was playing with rifles, leading Bullseye to become an expert shot. When he was 10 years old, his brother started a fire in their home in an unsuccessful attempt to kill their father. Shortly thereafter, Bullseye was placed in a foster home, and became a baseball player in high school. Bullseye was an extremely talented pitcher, and was offered a scholarship, but instead opted to enter the minor leagues. After three games, he was called up to play a sold-out Major League game. He had surrendered no hits the entire game, and in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, he became bored and requested the coach pull him from the game. The coach refused, and insisted that he finish the game. The opposing team's batter mocked him, accusing him of cowardice. Bullseye threw the ball at his head, killing him. As the ball struck, he said only one word: Bullseye . He was barred from professional baseball and convicted of manslaughter.His cold demeanor and unique skills, however, meant subsequent recruitment by the National Security Agency as an assassin was inevitable, and he was soon assigned to train Contras in Nicaragua. By the time he arrived, however, he claimed to have already been planning to leave the NSA. He had planned on robbing the Contras blind and fleeing, but soon discovered they were desperately poor. Bullseye made the best of the situation: within seven hours of being informed of their poverty, he had led the Contras in seizing a landing strip that the Colombian cocaine smugglers were using as a staging area before moving on to the United States. Without use of the airfield, the smugglers were unable to send new shipments. Bullseye set up Paolo, his hapless Nicaraguan translator, as the leader of the new force controlling the airfield, and let the word spread around. However, Paolo was nothing but a patsy. Bullseye planned to invite several organized crime heads to the airfield to broker a new deal with him as Paolo's supposed right hand man . He would take their money and disappear, presumably leaving Paolo to suffer the wrath of the Mafia, Russian Mafia, Yakuza and various other criminal elements.Bullseye turned himself in to the D.E.A. and soon was assigned to infiltrate the Kingpin's criminal empire. He obtained a costume, fled yet again, and became one of the most dangerous hitmen in the world.From his earliest appearances, Bullseye is one of the more prominent enemies of Daredevil. He battles Daredevil after first meeting him, and battles him again soon thereafter. Bullseye was then hired by Maxwell Glenn to kill Daredevil, although Daredevil defeated Bullseye on live television.Bullseye is established early on as insane, and begins degenerating further when a brain tumor creates hallucinations that everyone he meets is Daredevil. He begins killing random people under the belief that he is killing his nemesis. Daredevil later saves Bullseye's life, pulling his unconscious body from the path of a moving train. Bullseye is humiliated to be saved by his nemesis. The tumor is later successfully removed, though Bullseye's sanity is still in question. He then begins working as the Kingpin's chief assassin.Bullseye and Elektra fight, and Bullseye impales Elektra on her own sai, saying, You're good... but me, I'm magic .Disguised as a morgue attendant, Bullseye attempts to kill Daredevil (in his civilian identity as Matt Murdock) with a thrown projectile, which Daredevil casually blocks with his cane. After reviewing the medical reports from Murdock's childhood accident, Bullseye becomes convinced that Matt Murdock is Daredevil, and has been given superhuman powers by the chemical spill that blinded him.Bullseye then attempts to sneak up on Matt and kill him in his own home, but is ambushed by Daredevil, who has fooled Bullseye into thinking that a dummy with an attached tape recorder was Murdock. Seeing Daredevil and Murdock at the same time, Bullseye is convinced that Daredevil is not Matt Murdock, after all. The battle ends up with the pair balanced on a telephone wire from which Bullseye falls and is caught by his opponent. Bullseye screams that he is not going to let the hero save him again, and tries to stab his rescuer, whereupon Daredevil simply drops him. The multi-story fall breaks Bullseye's back, paralyzing him.Bullseye spent an extended period of time in the hospital following the fall. At one point, Bullseye was visited by Daredevil who forced him to participate in a game of Russian Roulette. As Daredevil related a case from earlier in the week, he waxed about how he felt about Bullseye. At the end of the game, Daredevil revealed the gun he had used for the game was empty and that he was only bluffing.He resumes his criminal activities, battling Daredevil in an effort to regain position of chief assassin for the Kingpin. Bullseye is imprisoned for several years.Bullseye then encounters an amnesiac Daredevil.

Both hero and villain switch costumes and fight, returning to their real identities but still painfully aware of their inherent similarity.Bullseye killed Daredevil's longtime love interest, Karen Page, with one of Daredevil's own billy clubs.When the next battle between Daredevil and Bullseye takes place, the assassin collapses in the middle of a fight, claiming that he has a brain tumor. He is brought to a maximum security prison, where he recounts his origins to a federal agent ) who has been sent to interrogate him over the location of some radioactive materials which he has stolen prior to his incarceration. He manipulates another agent into attacking him until one of his teeth is knocked out. Bullseye uses the tooth as a weapon, killing the agent and working his way to the prison's infirmary, where he encounters and kills his father.The Kingpin returns to New York to start over from scratch after he has been severely wounded in an assassination attempt and left in a coma while his wife had sold off most of his assets.

When the prison breaks out in riot, the Kingpin - who has foreknowledge of the impending attack - arranges for Bullseye to be released from his full-body-and-face restraints. Having previously cut a deal with Daredevil for mutual protection, Fisk planned to hijack a riot-squad chopper to escape the island. At the price of the deal, Matt Murdock finally refuses to let Bullseye leave prison. They fight, Daredevil dodges Bullseye's gunfire, and the Kingpin is hit point-blank. Daredevil then beats Bullseye unconscious.He has trained rigorously for many years with almost every type of throwing weapon imaginable, developing an uncanny ability to use virtually any object as a lethal projectile. As a result, he can accomplish many feats with thrown projectiles that are impossible outside of fiction. Some of his accomplishments include lacerating a persons throat with a thrown playing card, spitting his own tooth through a human skull, tossing a paper airplane to a distant rooftop, and killing a person with a toothpick thrown through a window from a hundred yards away. However, Daredevil is a comparatively frustrating target because the superhero's enhanced senses provide enough information to allow him to counter the attacks most of the time. While incarcerated, Bullseye was diagnosed with a rare form of red/green color blindness called protanopia.Bullseye has exceptional physical conditioning, with the agility, reflexes, stamina, and speed of a professional or even an Olympic athlete. One result of his naturally perfect athletic gift for hand-eye coordination is that his reflexes are honed to a level well beyond that of any normal human.Aside from his ability to throw projectiles with lethal accuracy, Bullseye is also an expert martial artist and is extremely talented in the use of edged weapons and conventional firearms. He has mastered a wide variety of hand-to-hand combat techniques and has mastered all known hand weaponry. Often, his outspoken attitude during combat about using his abilities seems to have become one of his favorite weapons: intimidation. As such, he believes that his attention in the media grants him more effectiveness in combat with a near flawless reputation, rather than an assassin who often uses fear of the unknown.Bullseye has a compulsive need to study his targets' histories, abilities, and relationships before engaging them. He employs this information to attempt to anticipate his opponents' movements in combat. This compulsion often crosses from the professional into the personal, such as Bullseye's obsession with Elektra.Bullseye has used handguns, knives, shuriken, whips, sais, darts, and plastic explosives. His ability to turn nearly anything into a lethal projectile has allowed him to use playing cards, pens, pencils, vases, hairbrushes, golf balls, paper airplanes, and even one of his own teeth as weapons. He also wears body armor made of kevlar. Show less «
