Fictional character biography

Early life and back-story

Bullseye grew up in The Bronx, where he lived with his brother and his abusive father. Child abuse is the physical, psychological or sexual maltreatment of children His brother's main form of recreation was playing with rifles, leading Bullseye to become an expert shot. A rifle is a Firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder with a barrel that has a helical groove or pattern of grooves ("rifling" cut into the barrel walls 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. Foster care is a system by which a certified stand-in "parent(s" cares for minor Children or young peoples who have been removed from their birth parents Baseball is a Bat-and-ball Sport played between two teams of nine players each High school is the name used in some parts of the world (in particular Scotland, North America and Australia) to describe an institution Bullseye was an extremely talented pitcher, and was offered a scholarship, but instead opted to enter the minor leagues. A scholarship is an award of access to an institution or a financial aid award for an individual student scholar for the purpose of furthering their Education 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. Manslaughter is a legal term for the killing of a human being in a manner considered by law as less culpable than Murder.

This is a retcon of a previous origin story from Elektra #2, which depicts Bullseye growing up as a below average student in a trailer park with an alcoholic, physically abusive father. Retroactive continuity is the deliberate changing of previously established facts in a work of serial fiction Elektra Natchios, usually referred to only by her first name Elektra, is a Fictional character in publications from Marvel Comics. In this version of events, Bullseye fakes his father's suicide using a handgun set off by a toy arrow. None or all elements of this version may be true since it describes his father as possibly recovering from a recent divorce, fitting in perfectly with Daredevil's taunts in their confrontation during the "Hardcore" storyline.

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. The National Security Agency/ Central Security Service ( NSA/CSS) is a cryptologic intelligence agency of the United States government The Contras is a label given to the various rebel groups opposing Nicaragua 's FSLN (Frente Sandinista de Liberacion Nacional Sandinista Junta of National Nicaragua (ˌnɪkəˈrɑgwə officially the Republic of Nicaragua () is a representative democratic republic and the largest nation in Central America 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. Colombia (kəˈlʌmbɪə officially the Republic of Colombia () is a country in northwestern South America. Cocaine ( benzoylmethyl ecgonine) is a Crystalline Tropane Alkaloid that is obtained from the leaves of the Coca plant The United States of America —commonly referred to as the 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". "Crime syndicate" redirects here For the DC Comics group of villains see Crime Syndicate. 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. The Mafia (also known as Cosa Nostra) is a Sicilian Criminal Secret society which is believed to have first developed in the mid-19th century Russian Mafia ( Русская мафия, Russkaya Mafiya) Red Mob ( Красная мафия Krasnaya Mafiya) or History Origins Despite their notoriety in modern Japan the precise origin of the Yakuza is still somewhat the subject of debate This outcome is unknown, as before the deal could be finalized, the Punisher (Frank Castle) arrived. The Punisher ( Frank Castle) is a fictional Antihero that appears in the Comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Castle killed all the organized crime leaders in a fiery explosion from which Bullseye barely escaped. "Crime syndicate" redirects here For the DC Comics group of villains see Crime Syndicate. The two engaged in a fierce battle in which Bullseye was able to wound the Punisher and evade or disable several of his weapons. Bullseye then used some blood-reddened mud to paint a bull's-eye on his forehead, mocking Castle's inability to hit him. The fight concluded when Drug Enforcement Administration agents arrived, and the Punisher fled. The Drug Enforcement Administration ( DEA) is a United States Department of Justice Law enforcement agency tasked with combating drug smuggling and Bullseye turned himself in to the D. E. A. agents and soon was assigned to infiltrate the Kingpin's criminal empire. The Kingpin is a Fictional character that appears in the Comic books published by Marvel Comics. He obtained a costume, fled yet again, and became one of the most dangerous hitmen in the world. For other uses of this term see Hitman (disambiguation A hitman usually is an Assassin who is hired to assassinate a target via

All of the above information was given by Bullseye during a subsequent interrogation by US intelligence. Just prior to escaping from custody, Bullseye confessed he made up some or his entire story to amuse himself; for example, he claims that he was really the one who started the fire which burned down his childhood home. The whole capture was a plan by the assassin to gain access to the prison where his father was being held. The story ends with Bullseye finally getting revenge on his father, leaving him to burn as the prison's security systems torched everything inside.

Costumed criminal career

From his earliest appearances, Bullseye is one of the more prominent enemies of Daredevil. He battles Daredevil after first meeting him,[2] and battles him again soon thereafter. [3] Bullseye was then hired by Maxwell Glenn to kill Daredevil, although Daredevil defeated Bullseye on live television. [4] Bullseye then joins Eric Slaughter's gang. He kidnapped Black Widow and battled Daredevil again. The Black Widow is the name of two fictional super-spy characters in the Marvel Comics universe. [5]

Bullseye is established early on as insane, and begins degenerating further when a brain tumor creates hallucinations that everyone he meets is Daredevil. Traditionally insanity or madness is the behaviour whereby a person flouts societal norms and may become a danger to himself and others A brain tumor is any intracranial Tumor created by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division, normally either in the Brain itself ( Neurons A hallucination, in the broadest sense is a Perception in the absence of a stimulus.

The Kingpin is a Fictional character that appears in the Comic books published by Marvel Comics. [7]

Cleared of his charges on the grounds of insanity, he finds that the Kingpin, his usual employer, has retained the services of a new assassin: Elektra, Daredevil's former lover. Elektra Natchios, usually referred to only by her first name Elektra, is a Fictional character in publications from Marvel Comics. Bullseye and Elektra fight, and Bullseye impales Elektra on her own sai, saying, "You're good. For other meanings of the word 'sai' see Sai (disambiguation. . . but me, I'm magic"[8] (the line was later used in the film adaptation of Daredevil).

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. Paralysed redirects here For other uses see xx Paralysed (disambiguation Paralysis is the complete loss of Muscle function [9]

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. (Years later, when asked to join the Thunderbolts, Bullseye thought back to this moment and agreed on the condition that he kills Daredevil before his tenure was up. )

Bullseye is taken to Japan, where Japanese scientist Lord Dark Wind reinforced much of his skeleton with adamantium. Lord Dark Wind ( Professor Kenji Oyama) is a Fictional character from Marvel Comics. Adamantium is a fictional metallic or crystalline substance which has seen extensive use in comics cartoons and video games [10] He resumes his criminal activities, battling Daredevil in an effort to regain position of chief assassin for the Kingpin. [11] Bullseye is imprisoned for several years.

Bullseye eventually escapes prison,[12] and then battles Captain America. [13] He battles Crossbones in a vain attempt to assassinate the Red Skull to regain his position with the Kingpin. Crossbones ( Brock Rumlow) is a Fictional character, a Supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe. The Red Skull is a name shared by several fictional Comic book Supervillains from the Marvel Comics universe. [14]

Bullseye then encounters an amnesiac Daredevil. [15] He takes advantage of Daredevil's temporary amnesia by replacing the hero and committing robberies in an attempt to destroy his image. [16] Eventually Bullseye has problems returning to his own identity, while Daredevil believes he was his own father, the boxer Jack Murdock. Both hero and villain switch costumes and fight, returning to their real identities but still painfully aware of their inherent similarity. [17]

Bullseye later has another run-in with the Punisher when he is part of Frank's frame-up scheme that ends with Bullseye getting both of his hands shot and losing a finger to the Punisher's brutality. Bullseye encounters Deadpool and Gambit during another long interval in which the character is seldom used. Deadpool is a fictional Comic book character sometimes depicted as a Mercenary or Antihero; he appears in books published by Marvel Gambit ( Remy LeBeau) is a Fictional character, a Marvel Comics Superhero that has been a member of the X-Men.

In the Kevin Smith and Joe Quesada authored story arc Bullseye was hired by the villain Mysterio to attack and confuse Daredevil.

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 (at least partially falsified) origins to a federal agent (see Daniel Way and Steve Dillon mini-series Greatest Hits, as described above) who has been sent to interrogate him over the location of some radioactive materials which he has stolen prior to his incarceration. Radioactive decay is the process in which an unstable Atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting ionizing particles and Radiation. 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.

Under the new Daredevil creative team of authors Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev 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.

Powers and abilities

While Bullseye technically has no superhuman powers, 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 person’s 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. Color blindness, a Color vision deficiency is the inability to perceive differences between some of the Colors that others can distinguish Dichromacy in humans is a moderately severe color vision defect in which one of the three basic color mechanisms is absent or not functioning

Bullseye has exceptional physical conditioning, with the agility, reflexes, stamina, and speed of a professional or even an Olympic athlete. The Olympic Games is an international Multi-sport event established for both summer and winter games 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. Eye–hand (alternatively hand–eye) coordination refers to the control of eye movement and the processing of visual input to guide bodily movement

Due to various injuries, many of Bullseye's bones have been reinforced with strips of adamantium, with his spine now entirely composed of the substance. This has increased his resistance to injury in unarmed combat. This reinforcement also allows Bullseye to utilize acrobatic maneuvers impossible for an ordinary human (as his bones are protected from fracture). While Wolverine's mutant healing factor allowed his entire skeleton to be laced with adamantium, the details of Bullseye's surgical procedure(s) have not been disclosed. A mutant within the Marvel Comic books particularly those of the X-Men mythos is an individual who possesses a genetic trait called an A healing factor is a term used to describe the ability of some characters in Fiction to recover from bodily injuries or disease at a superhuman rate

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, at least for a short time, appeared to be able to sense Daredevil's presence psychically.

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 clips, peanuts, paper airplanes, and even one of his own teeth as weapons. He also wears body armor made of kevlar.

Later, Elektra attacks Daredevil, seeking revenge, but soon realizes Bullseye killed her father. Elektra and Bullseye battle, but he slits her throat with a playing card, then stabs her with one of her sai (which was exactly how he killed her in the comics), and her heart stops (in the Director's Cut, Bullseye deals more injuries to her and while impaling her, gives her a kiss by biting down on her lower lip).
