Bullseye

A mercenary of mystery, nothing was really known about the man called Bullseye.

Once, he was captured and interrogated in a highly secured U.S. prison, and he related many details about his early life, such as the time his brother set fire to their home in an attempt to kill their father.

However, much of this information is suspect, as Bullseye then escaped, taunting his interrogators that much of what he said was false -- especially the fact that it was not his brother who set fire to the house, it was himself.

Bullseye proceeded to set fire to the prison, where his father was also held, and he left his father to die once more. (In a previous account of his childhood, he painted a bulls-eye on the forehead of his abusive father when he was passed out from drinking and shot him).

Before his mercenary career, it’s been suggested that Bullseye tried his formidable throwing skills to become a Major League baseball player, but he was too selfish and sadistic.

After only three games, according to Bullseye himself, he grew bored and annoyed whilst pitching a no-hitter and for the last pitch of the game he threw the ball at the batter, killing him.

Instead, Bullseye found his true calling as a special operative of the United States National Security Agency, then soon after as a freelance assassin - a perfect career for someone who got so much pleasure from the killing of his enemies.

He created his signature modus operandi of using thrown weapons during one of his first outings as a soldier - a Viet Cong fighter got the drop on him and Bullseye's weapon failed to shoot.

He threw the gun instead, killing his assailant with his bayonet.

His early endeavors included time in Africa and Nicaragua, coming into conflict with the Punisher, and working alongside fellow mercenary Deadpool.

Bullseye first achieved notoriety with a series of extortion attempts and murder in New York City, publicizing his antics by agreeing to an interview with the Daily Bugle.

Bullseye fought and defeated Daredevil, although the hero soon tracked him down and prevented Bullseye's extortion schemes.

Bullseye was then hired to murder the lawyer Matt Murdock, Daredevil's secret identity, but was defeated by Daredevil.

In his own mind, Bullseye believed his formidable reputation was ruined and swore vengeance.

Bullseye fought Daredevil at any opportunity, holding a TV studio hostage, kidnapping the Black Widow, or simply tracking him down.

Each time, he was captured and given over to the police by Daredevil.

At one point, Bullseye was declared insane due to a brain tumor and began hallucinating, believing random people were actually Daredevil, and trying to kill them all.

The true Daredevil managed to defeat him, and the tumor was removed.

Later, while on assignment to kill the Kingpin, Bullseye simply received a better offer from the Kingpin and agreed to work for him instead.

However, after returning from yet another imprisonment by Daredevil, Bullseye was furious to learn that the Kingpin had chosen Elektra as his assassin in the meantime.

Bullseye killed her with nothing more than a playing card and her own sai, earning the enmity of Daredevil, Elektra's lover.

Bullseye fought the enraged hero high over the New York City skyline, until at the climax of their battle Daredevil allowed Bullseye to fall, seemingly to his death.

Bullseye managed to survive, but his spine had been shattered, paralyzing him.

With the help of a Japanese crime lord, Lord Dark Wind, Bullseye's bones were laced with Adamantium in the hopes that Bullseye would freely serve Lord Dark Wind as his head assassin.

Instead, Bullseye, now recovered, returned to New York to pursue his mercenary career.

Before he could continue in the Kingpin’s employ however, he had to first prove himself by fighting his former mercenary friend, Deadpool.

The fight was close, but Bullseye was triumphant.

At one point, Daredevil left New York for a prolonged period.

Bullseye put on the Daredevil costume himself, gleefully playing the part of hero while robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

However, never a man quite sane, Bullseye began to believe himself to be the true Daredevil, and Matt Murdock adopted the Bullseye’s costume to confront him.

Murdock won, and the defeat allowed Bullseye to return to his senses (relatively speaking, of course).

Bullseye continued to perform several jobs for the Kingpin whilst also pursuing several other mercenary contacts, one of which brought him into conflict with the Punisher on behalf of Rosalie Carbone.

Another saw Bullseye hired by Mysterio to kidnap a baby from Saint Maggie’s Church.

During the contract Bullseye killed Karen Page, Daredevil's lover, further earning his vengeance.

Later still, when the news of Daredevil’s secret identity leaked to the media, Bullseye hoped to capitalize on the information and kill Daredevil both for his own satisfaction and to help the Kingpin’s struggling criminal empire.

He then targeted Murdock and his new girlfriend, Milla Donovan, but Daredevil snapped, beating Bullseye to a pulp and carving a bulls-eye pattern onto his forehead with a rock.
