10 Moments Marvel Have Chosen To Ignore

The sight of Matt Murdock dropping the psychotic hitman Bullseye to his death is the second most famous page in Frank Miller's seminal Daredevil run. It is only just behind Bullseye impaling Electra upon her own sai. Everyone has either read this storyline or has at least heard of the events. As it is one of the cornerstones of Daredevil's mythology.

But if someone was to ask you how Bullseye returned from the dead, would you know the answer? Most people would, correctly, assume it was merely another case of "Heaven's revolving door" in comics. But what most people don't know is that Bullseye didn't die that night but was instead rebuilt by a Japanese criminal know as Lord Dark Wind. A process in which, like Wolverine, he has his bones laced with Adamantium.

A casual review of Bullseye's subsequent appearances in the Marvel universe will show innumerable battles where the mercenary ends up beaten, battered and broken. Damage that a man with an Adamantium skeleton should rarely take. Still, it's also something that can be explained away by the injuries not being severe or having no effect on the bones. There could even be an argument made for his opponents showing no adverse results from striking the indestructible metal.

However, what has been established repeatedly through the ongoing narrative of the Marvel Universe is just how poisonous Adamantium is. It is so toxic in fact that any time Wolverine has "lost" his mutant healing factor, he almost instantly succumbs to its effects. Yet Bullseye, a mere human, seems to suffer no ill despite his bones also being laced with the metal.
