Profile

One of the world's most feared and respected assassins, the enigmatic killer known simply as "Bullseye" has established a reputation among heroes and villains alike as an unrepentant, homicidal maniac with an insatiable appetite for mayhem. Possessing the uncanny ability to turn any object into a deadly projectile, the masked sadist has been known to kill his targets with everything from throwing knives to playing cards, making him a perennial favorite among New York's most powerful crime bosses -- for the right price, of course.

Description

Description:

A wiry, masked man at just about six-feet wearing a military-grade, lightly-armored black suit that covers him from his neck down to his feet. His white gloves and boots all look combat-ready, and a white belt -- loaded with a pair of throwing knives and pouches containing God-knows-what-else -- rests on his waist, while a single gun holster stays wrapped around his right thigh. The most striking part of this man's get-up, however, is the black, armored mask he wears over his face to conceal his identity, featuring a simple, white target symbol defiantly emblazoned in the middle of his forehead.

History

History:

Not much is known about the enigma that is Bullseye, other than the fact that if he's in the same room with you for any reason, it'd be a good idea to run. What can pass for personal backstory, however, depends heavily on who you are and what your relationship with him is. Some might say he's a former army ranger who took up mercenary work after a dishonorable discharge, others might say he was a minor league baseball player who became bored with the game before turning to crime. What is definitely known, however, is the assassin's long-standing history with some of New York City's biggest crime bosses, whether that be the all-powerful Wilson Fisk, the insane Hammerhead, or anyone with enough hate in their heart and enough zeroes in their bank account to hire the best killer money can buy.

If you go by what is typically accepted, however, you might believe that "Lester" came from a broken home in the Bronx, born to a prostitute mother and an abusive alcoholic of a father. You might have even heard that Lester killed his dad in cold blood by setting his childhood home on fire before striking out on his own. Now, if you're chummy with good ol' Lester, you might have heard that he was a natural at killing, and that rocketing up the ladder of criminal success was a piece of cake -- so much so, that he ended up on the radar of the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, himself -- Daredevil, and that their rivalry would turn Lester into an obsessed, psychotically determined killer of the highest order. Maybe.

But if you're really close to Lester... I mean REALLY close.. you might have heard that after one fight with Daredevil that left Bullseye paralyzed from the neck down, that he had a majority of his skeleton laced with adamantium so as to never lose again... that from that point on, Lester made it his life's work to kill Daredevil, and everyone he holds dear... that he would kill, and kill, and kill -- anyone and everyone -- to get Daredevil back in his sights.

Or maybe that's all a lie, too. His name could be Ben, for all you know.

Personality

Personality:

Without a doubt, Bullseye is a complete and utter sadist who is absolutely proud of it. With not even the slightest hint of a conscience, he is the shining example of a stone-cold killer -- a man who doesn't see life, but rather means to an end. In his mind, you're either dollar signs or a personal project, but what makes him even more frightening... what tends to scare even the most noble of heroes... is how high-functioning of a psychopath he actually is. This isn't a man who cackles wildly into the air before blowing up a bank. This is a calculated, highly-intelligent predator -- one whose boorish attitude can be flipped to a unsettling charm in less than a second, making him infinitely more dangerous to anyone unlucky enough to end up on his bad side.

Not surprisingly, though, Bullseye is also a massive egotist when it comes to his abilities and profession. This isn't someone who thinks he's one of the best -- he IS the best at what he does, and will go toe-to-toe with anyone who thinks they do it better than he can. He's a perfectionist who considers what he does an art; perhaps the worst combo you can get when it comes to an assassin, and puts up no pretense of doing anything for anyone other than himself. Long story short? This is his world, and as far as he's concerned... you're just allowed to live in it 'til he says otherwise.

Abilities

Throwing Mastery:

The inspiration behind his mercenary codename, Bulleye's almost supernatural ability to throw any object with lethal precision is legendary among heroes and villains, alike. In scientific terms, Bullseye possesses a hypercognitive brain that allows him to make highly-complex calculations regarding geometry and physics in a split-second. This, combined with his exceptional arm strength and naturally perfect hand-eye coordination, makes him just as, if not more, dangerous than some of his superpowered peers. In combat, Bullseye's been known to ricochet objects off walls, throw weapons over vast distances at frightening velocities, and has even turned a paper plane into a viable murder weapon. He is the perfect example of skill over brute force, so whether it's throwing knives, ninja stars, office supplies or the occasional toothpick -- no matter how much protection you're wearing -- if he can throw it, and you're in his sights? Game over.

Skills

ExpandClick to expand.

Acrobat:
A natural athlete, Bullseye possesses an Olympic-level physique that enables him to accomplish some truly spectacular feats despite not having any powers. Sacrificing raw strength for superior agility and mobility, Bullseye has been able to keep up with Daredevil, Elektra, and Spider-Man in regards to raw athleticism.

Bladed Weapons:
Though it's rumored he learned much of his close-quarters fighting skills in the military, the sheer savagery that Bullseye displays when wielding knives, swords, or other edged weapons suggests a sheer, natural affinity. When not engaged in pure fisticuffs, Bullseye will often lead with one of his trusty knives, looking for a quick stab to the heart or an efficient slice to the throat to dispatch a would-be dispatcher.

Demolitions:
While it's not often used in his line of covert wetwork, a time may come when an explosion is necessary to take out a target (or dozen). Largely self-taught when it comes to plastic explosives and the like, Bullseye has occasionally needed to craft and utilize bombs when the situation calls for it.

Elite Marksmanship:
Despite his proclivity for thrown weapons, Bullseye's pinpoint accuracy also lends itself to other forms of ranged weaponry. Occasionally wielding conventional firearms like handguns, machine guns, or sniper rifles, Bullseye has also shown incredibly proficiency with bows and crossbows, as well. Though he considers these means of murder rather boring and superficial, they are no doubt an invaluable collection of skills for his repertoire.

Interrogation:
A cold-blooded sadist with a penchant for torture and intimidation, Bullseye derives unimaginable pleasure from hurting others. So, when someone happens to have information that Bullseye needs to extract, the masked assassin has no qualms about doing what must be done (and perhaps a little extra) to make sure he gets what he needs. Whether it's carving up a victim's flesh, burning them with fire, or hurting a loved one right in front of their eyes, it's the sheer destruction of that person's will that truly makes Bullseye feel alive.

Investigation:
While his combat prowess is what he's known for, true fans of Bullseye will tell you about his obsessive-compulsive tendencies regarding the studying of his targets. A predator in every sense of the word, Bullseye has been known to observe his potential kills for weeks, if not months, in order to get an idea of their histories, relationships, and abilities. This mental advantage, in his opinion, is often what makes the biggest difference should he ever have to engage with them in one-on-one combat.

Martial Artist:
Though his reputation with projectile weapons is his calling card, Bullseye has mastered several different martial arts in order to be effective at close-quarters combat. Able to hold his own against some of New York's best hand-to-hand fighters including the Punisher, Daredevil, and even some of the Avengers, Bullseye's proficiency with boxing, Tae Kwon Do, jiu-jitsu, and Muay Thai makes him a virtual nightmare to anyone who dares to square up, mano a mano.

Master Assassin:

Extremely knowledgeable of human biology and psychology, Bullseye is one of the most cerebral hired killers in the business. While his expertise in pressure points, bone structure, and physiology makes him the go-to guy when someone needs to be taken out in a particular fashion, physically, it's how he approaches each kill that makes him so deadly and efficient. Be it a sneaky cloak-and-dagger operation in the middle of a crowded room, to a toothpick flicked straight through a window from a building across the street, Bullseye has shown a wealth of cleverness, patience, and creativity when it comes to killing his targets -- so much so that he considers himself an artist at his chosen profession.

Adamantium Bones:
In perhaps the most defining fight of his life, Bullseye fought his arch-nemesis -- the Devil of Hell's Kitchen -- several stories high above the streets of New York City, that ended with Daredevil causing Bullseye to plummet to the concrete below. Having shattered his spine and becoming paralyzed, an incensed Bullseye swore revenge and was given a second chance at life after a Japanese supervillain -- Lord Dark Wind -- arranged for Bullseye's freedom from prison and subsequent surgery to rebuild him. This resulted in Bullseye's skeleton becoming reinforced with the unbreakable metal, adamantium, gifting him an unnatural amount of durability that he possesses to this day.

Criminal Network:
With all the contacts Bullseye has made over the last five to ten years, the man with a target on his forehead is anything but in regards to some of the real shot callers in New York City. Because of his numerous ties with these people and groups, Bullseye has amassed a rather extensive network of fences, mercenaries, and fellow assassins -- not to mention crooked lawyers, corrupt law officials, blackmailed politicians, and anyone else that might be under the thumb of any of his current "employers." Should things ever go south for him, professionally, Bullseye is confident he'll be able to snake his way out -- just like any real survivor should.

Mercenary Work:
Quite frankly, Bullseye is rich. Like... really rich. Enough to the point where money is no longer a determining factor of what job he takes, so much as it is an indication of how valuable he and his vile skill set are actually worth. Having carried out wetwork for some of the biggest names in crime, Bullseye is more than financially stable for the next several lifetimes, seeing those zeroes in each money transfer as a measure of reverence more than actual wealth.

Tools of the Trade:

An assassin should never be without his weapons, and Bullseye has everything he needs in spades. A noted lover of blades, Bullseye possesses an extremely impressive array of knives on his belt and boots, along with a multitude of equipment pouches that house everything from small explosives, to poison darts, to those trusty shurikens everyone knows and loves. When a bullet is on the menu for a job, Bullseye carries a 9mm Beretta on his right leg, but will go home to his extensive military-grade gun collection when more firepower is needed.

Weaknesses

ExpandClick to expand.

Ego:
Bullseye is a lone wolf by nature, and while many would chalk it up to other assassins flat-out refusing to work with a full-blown psychopath, the fact of the matter is that Bullseye would never consider doing it in the first place. As cocky and egotistical a bastard as you'll ever meet, Bullseye believes he is the best in the world at what he does, so while his arrogance is a huge factor in deterring others from working with him, it's his stubborn unwillingness to play well with others, period, that thrusts him into situations where he's in way over his head.

Infamy:
Make no mistake about it, it takes a certain amount of crazy to make someone a killer, and it takes even more of that craziness to make one of the most fearsome and well-known killers in the business. That said, Bullseye's unrelenting appetite for death and destruction has made him an incredibly high-profile target for law enforcement and some of the world's most powerful heroes. Because of this notoriety, Bullseye cannot afford to be in the public eye for long make any sort of mistake on the job, as the bounty on his head is as big as the list of heroes out there who want to see him in jail or six-feet under.

Perfectionist:
No doubt intertwined with his massive ego, Bullseye is a self-admitted perfectionist and has absolutely no patience for anyone or anything that could besmirch his reputation. This was the key factor that sent him over the edge with Daredevil, as even one single "miss" was enough to completely tear his world asunder. Someone who bases their entire life on hitting targets can be manipulated quite easily by someone who's shrewd enough to pick up on it, and -- as long as they know what buttons to push -- can turn it to their advantage.

The Devil:

There's no obsession quite like a psychotic one, and that's exactly the kind of vendetta Bullseye has for the guardian of Hell's Kitchen, himself -- Daredevil. Having been beaten, humiliated and even paralyzed at one point by the Man Without Fear, Bullseye considers Daredevil the sole reason for the tarnishing of his flawless record as an assassin, swearing the purest of revenge against Matt Murdock and everything he knows and loves. Typically cold and collected, Bullseye is prone to irrational outbursts when Daredevil's name is even mentioned -- something many heroes have used in order to knock Bullseye off his game.
