Marvel's Daredevil Season 3: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

4. Ben "Dex" Pointdexter

Daredevil Season 3
Netflix

If there's one thing Daredevil fans have been waiting for the show to tackle it's Bullseye. While Kingpin might be the Man Without Fear's overall nemesis, Bullseye is his equal in combat. In season 3, the series finally delivers an MCU version of the villain - and it doesn't go how viewers expected. For the better.

In contrast to the comics, we get to see the character's origins. Wilson Bethel plays Benjamin Pointdexter as a complex, very troubled individual - and when Fisk manipulates his carefully-controlled life, his psyche fractures and he well and truly goes off the deep end. How easily this apparently highly-trained FBI agent falls under the thumb of a criminal could have felt ridiculous, but Bethel ensures Dex remains believable though also suitably larger-than-life.

By the end of the season, the character looks set to become the supervillain as we know him, with a slightly OTT final shot forming his logo in his eye. Netflix better give us a season 4 so we can see him back in action.
