Abilities:
-Bullseye is an Olympic-level athlete and weightlifter. He is in overall exceptional physical condition, with the agility, reflexes, stamina, and speed of a professional or Olympic athlete.
-He is a skilled acrobat capable of performing many difficult feats and matching the feats of the finest human acrobats.
-Bullseye's innate ability to throw any projectile with great unerring accuracy and deadliness borders on the uncanny. His uncanny ability to use virtually any common object as a lethal projectile actually makes him more dangerous than many characters who do have superhuman powers. Although he is not technically superhuman, Bullseye can accomplish many feats with thrown projectiles. He has demonstrated the ability to lacerate a person's throat with a thrown playing card, spit his own tooth through a human skull, toss a paper airplane to a distant rooftop, and kill a person with a toothpick thrown through a window from a hundred yards away. He is also a dangerous sharpshooter.
-He knows every pressure point and vulnerable spot on the human body and is able to turn virtually any object into a deadly weapon capable of incapacitating or killing an enemy. Bullseye is a deadly assassin often hired by the likes of the Kingpin for covert assassinations.
-Aside from his ability to throw projectiles with lethal accuracy, Bullseye is also proficient in many martial arts disciplines and is extremely talented in the use of edged weapons and conventional firearms. 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.
-As a result of his naturally perfect athletic gift for hand-eye coordination, Bullseye can quickly learn how to wield most weapons even if he's never seen them before. Aside from throwing projectiles, he is also skilled with knives, swords, and other weapons.
Weapons: Anything he can throw. Literally.
What's hidden behind the mask:
Personality: Bullseye is severely unhinged with a dash of crazy. He has borderline personality disorder, which makes him very hard to get a read on. He's sadistic, impulsive, unpredictable, and is prone to psychosis. Of all of the problems he could have, he seems to have one the mental illness lottery in being a dangerous personality.
Bullseye is a man with a considerably tenuous grasp on his sanity and has been described as a notorious psychopath, which makes him susceptible to psychopathic outbursts when rattled. He also is prone to schizophrenic delusions as he once became so immersed in his assassination that he believed himself to truly be his target. For a while after his target was dead, he continued to live the man's life.
All in all, he can be bought. He feels no loyalty to anyone that doesn't pay him enough, and he rarely makes allies. He's a womanizer as well, so he has the capacity to be charming, but he hardly ever sticks around. Unless he becomes obsessed, which has been known to happen.
History: A mercenary of mystery, nothing was really known about the man called Bullseye. What is known is very basic information. He was born in Dublin and moved to the US shortly before The War, in an effort to escape the draft. When America joined the war, his efforts were fruitless and he was drafted into the army anyway. When the war ended, he returned to America and found work where he could.
Once, he was captured and interrogated in a highly secure 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.
He soon after he became 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 German soldier got the drop on him and Bullseye's weapon failed to shoot. He threw the gun instead, killing his assailant with his bayonet.
Now, he works with Wilson Fisk, a notoriously wealthy man, and does almost all of his dirty work.
