Name

The origin seems to switch between calling Bullseye "Lester" and "Leonard." Either that, or it doesn't make any sense at all. Could someone who knows please correct it?

Bullseye II?

I've always been confused as Wizard has, at least in the past, always listed this gentleman as "Bullseye II". Any info on this situation and/or the original Bullseye would be appreciated.--65.245.5.224 03:59, 8 January 2006 (UTC)Bill[reply]

Bullseye II, Fanfilm Appearance

The earlier Bullseye was a one-shot Hydra assassin from the late 1960's run of Nick Fury. He apparently is not the same entity as the one this entry covers.

That's correct. Here's a profile on Marvel's first Bullseye. Luis Dantas (talk) 23:46, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from that, I should note that Bullseye appeared in the famous (for a fan film) The Green Goblin's Last Stand fanfilm (as did Mysterio). This is odd since Bullseye had never met the Green Goblin!

http://files.filefront.com/Green+Goblins+Last+Stand/;944220;;/fileinfo.html The Earlyist Bullseye I found was in Nick Fury Agent of Shield # 15 Nov 1969.

May be this is why DD's Bullseye is listed as # II —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.80.1.46 (talk) 13:32, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Throwing weapons

In order to make it clear that Bullseye can throw absolutely any item with lethal accuracy and strength, I suggest we add things as babies, Dildoes, turds and cheese to the list, so it is easier to distinguish him from those heroes that are only proficient with common throwing weapons (after all The Joker can toss cards too no?

Ultimate Bullseye

Re:

"Ultimate Bullseye In the Ultimate Marvel continuity, Bullseye appeared in Ultimate Elektra as an assassin named Benjamin Poindexter. He works for the Kingpin and was his prime assassin until Elektra beat him in direct hand-to-hand combat"

Tagged for cleanup

I've tagged this article - it needs some work. I'm removing the most egregious phrase:

In a cameo, canon (Disputed if it is canon or not, because in All Access #1, which is a continuation from DC vs Marvel, Spider-man brings Venom to jail and refers to the truce Spider-man and Venom made) appearance in the "DC vs Marvel" storyline

That's just a mess. Anybody care to help improve the rest of the article? --Chancemichaels 15:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels[reply]

I have it a once-over. It needs copy-editing by someone who is also a Marvel Comics expert. I'm not really familiar with some of the later storylines.Konczewski 22:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed a very few things (mostly headers), but I think the article is looking pretty good for the most part.Ugnut 06:44, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do any of you wikidiots have any clue how to cite a literary text? Present tense is the norm. Confused? Try MLA or any real source of info (ie, something printed on paper and edited by an accountable editor). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.188.17 (talk) 07:46, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grammatical confusion

The sentence:

"fire which burned down his childhood home. The whole capture was a plan by the assassin to gain access to the prison where his father was being held. The story ends with Bullseye finally getting revenge on his father, leaving him to burn as the prison's security systems torched everything inside."

Confuses me.

"Leaving him" Who is him? Did Bullseye leave his father to die in the fire? Or did he get revenge on his father while he himself was still in jail, something which left him (Bullseye) torched?

Or in other words:

So he killed his father in some way that left him (Bullseye) torched to death (villains sacrificing their own life in order to kill someone they hate is a very common comic-book cliche, none the least in non cannon "Marvel The-End" and "What if" stories). Or was it his father and not him that died that day? (Far more plausible, but far from granted, id be a shame if people most thought this was so, only for it to be wrong).

Or very simplified: Who burned, Bullseye or his abusive father?

Since I am a fan of Bullseye, but have not read this particular story, I would like for someone that knows more about this to fix this sentence, so it reads in a way where there is no room for confusion regarding this matter, Thank you.

(explaining this right was a struggle, thus loads of text, but I prefer that over this pending confusion)

Bullseye's Adamantium reinforced skeleton

What issue revealed that Bullseye's skeleton was reinforced with strips of Adamantium? I was under the impression that only some of his vertebrae were Adamantium (Daredevil #197-199).74.244.63.126 00:36, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

His skeleton (or parts of it, I don't remember) is laced with adamantium, whereas characters like Wolverine have it across most or all of his skeleton. Notthegoatseguy 16:48, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The bio is confusing. It states that the second origin is probably fabricated, and then backs this up by saying it's consistent with other dialogue(???). It then seems to discredit the second origin completely when it references a story where he kills his father, who he supposedly already killed in the second origin. 66.167.233.99 21:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the bio info, the only two people who know about Bullseye's formative years definitively are Bullseye and Daredevil. This is proven by the very disturbed and panicked reaction Bullseye had the first time Daredevil called him "Lester". Therefore it is more than likely that he had several fathers including the one he killed in a trailer park but only found out that his biological father was the one in "Greatest Hits" recently. As to the information about his skeleton, Bullseye's injuries during the Murdock Papers storyline imply that his legs and ribs are not reinforced but the punch he gave Daredevil in Guardian Devil implies that his fists are.

I think by 'reinforced' it implies that his bones are laced, it doesn't imply that they can't be broken, it merely means they can't be completely broken. This would explain how he always comes back with full function from every fracture, and it also leads one to believe that every fracture is fixed with further adamantium concluding in, as the article states, a fully accumulated spine made of adamantium. When Bullseye punched Daredevil in Guardian Devil it says his 'skeleton' is reinforced, it doesn't explicitly state just his fists. If his entire skeleton is laced/reinforced with adamantium, it means his bones can never be completely, irreparably broken. During the Murdock Papers arc that's referenced he supposedly breaks his legs and ribs, but eventually he's helping Fisk and Murdock escape with apparently no functional limitations. In the recent Dark Avengers: Bullseye limited series, he says his skull is laced with adamantium-- he stated the surgeon will need a vibranium scalpel. But he never states it can't be cut-- if it's laced, that means the non-laced pieces can be fractured-- although never completely broken.

Also, as for Bullseye: Greatest Hits canonicity; it certainly is. In the same Dark Avengers limited series Bulleye references some of the story in Greatest Hits concerning his father so it appears the limited series is canon, it's just mixed with deception until Bullseye clarifies in further continuity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.105.184.93 (talk) 09:37, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

Bullseye5.jpg, the current infobox image has one or more issues in regard to the non-free content criteria policy, non-free content guidelines, and/or Comics Project infobox image guidelines. These issue(s) are:

Head shots - The current image consists only of the subject's head or head and shoulders. The image should cover at least the head and full torso, with a full figure being the most desirable.
In shadows - The current image shows the subject of the article hidden in shadows. Since hiding/lurking in shadows is not part of the "look" of the subject, an image without such an element should be used.

Please keep in mind that image taken from source like DC's Who's Who or Marvel's Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe cannot be used within the article.

Once this issue is resolved, please add " |fixed=y " to the template generating this message.
