Bullseye is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Marv Wolfman and John Romita Sr. Depicted as a psychopathic assassin, Bullseye uses the opportunities afforded by his line of work to exercise his homicidal tendencies and to work out his own personal vendetta against Daredevil.[2] He is also an enemy of the Punisher. Although he possesses no superpowers, Bullseye is able to use almost any object as a lethal projectile, be it weapons like shuriken and sai or seemingly harmless objects like playing cards and pencils. His marksmanship is uncanny, at a nearly supernatural level.

Bullseye has been adapted into various forms of media relating to Daredevil, such as the latter's self-titled film in which he was portrayed by Colin Farrell, and the third season of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) self-titled television series portrayed by Wilson Bethel under the name Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter that was previously used by the Ultimate Marvel incarnation of the character which would later be integrated into the mainstream comics.
