In the third season of the Netflix series, Daredevil, Wilson Bethel plays Bullseye (although he is only referred to as Benjamin “Dex” Pointdexter. The crime lord, Wilson Fisk hires Dex as an assassin and has him commit crimes while dressed as Daredevil to frame the superhero.

You may not know that Bullseye donned Daredevil’s identity in the comics as well. While Matt Murdock took a sabbatical from crime-fighting, Bullseye pretended to be Daredevil to see what it was like to “play the hero.”

Due to his unstable mind, Bullseye convinced himself that he was the real Daredevil. Matt knew that talking to the crazed assassin wouldn’t convince him otherwise so Matt used a much more effective tactic – He dressed up as Bullseye and beat the crap out of him. Once defeated, Bullseye realized that he was deluding himself and he returned to normal… by his standards.
