Daredevil Season 3: 10 Things You Need To Know About Bullseye
Matt Murdock thinks he's been pushed to the limit. But the worst is yet to come.
In season 2 of Daredevil, Marvel's best crime-fighting attorney went to war with The Hand. After one crossover series and a little help from friends, all of that got sorted.
Happy days. Now things get serious.
If Season 3 centred solely around a vengeful Wilson Fisk, then times would be turbulent enough. But with direct confirmation of Bullseye's entrance into the new series, knowledgable fans may be tempted to grab their TV screens and shout "look out!" to the hapless Devil of Hell's Kitchen.
Bullseye is a Marvel villain of extreme nastiness. There is no drive for power, no misguided moral compass - there is only an insatiable passion for violence and death, and a stalker-like fixation for various individuals. Final nail in the coffin? He's an insanely tough enemy to defeat. In fact he rarely gets defeated at all.
In the comics, Matt Murdock took the brunt of Bullseye's villainy. Now the Murdock of Netflix fame is about to suffer the same ordeal, it's unclear what elements Daredevil Season 3 will borrow from the comics and how the character's many unpleasantries will manifest. Here's what you need to know.
10. Anything And Everything Is A Weapon In Bullseye's Hands
There arguably isn't a more appropriate name for a comic book character. Bullseye has no real powers as such, but what he does have is an insane knack for things meeting their target, whether it's by pulling a trigger, throwing a projectile, or notching an arrow. If he aims, it hits, even if it's from an incalculably long distance away.
On comic books covers, he is often seen deftly wielding playing cards and sleek looking blades, but Bullseye's talent for marksmanship extends to absolutely anything he can get his hands on. And, like bullets from a gun, those things hit home with marked deadliness.
In his more than 40 year existence, Bullseye has been known to throw baseballs, yo-yos, drinking straws, toothpicks, paper aeroplanes, his own snot, and even a hapless poodle, all to catastrophic effect in some form or another.
On an even more troubling note, he can also spit with perfect accuracy, be they fruit seeds or his own loosened teeth. On a super extra troubling note, he once claimed whilst in prison, that a laxative diet was the only thing stopping him from wielding his own excrement as a weapon. Imagine being the prison guard on duty that night.
