Fictional grapheme biography [edit]

Early life and backstory [edit]

Bullseye grew up in The Bronx, where he lived with his brother and their abusive begetter. His brother's chief form of recreation was playing with rifles, leading him to become an expert shot. When he was ten years onetime, his brother started a fire in their home in an unsuccessful attempt to impale their father. Soon thereafter, Bullseye was placed in a foster home, and became a baseball player in high schoolhouse. He was an extremely talented pitcher, and was offered a scholarship, but instead opted to enter the modest leagues. After three games, he was chosen up to play a sold-out Major League game. He had surrendered no hits the entire game, and in the bottom of the 9th with two outs, he became bored and requested the coach pull him from the game. The coach refused, and insisted that he finish the game. The opposing squad's batter mocked him, accusing him of cowardice. Bullseye threw the brawl at his head, killing him. As the ball struck, he said merely i word: "Bullseye". He was barred from professional person baseball game and bedevilled of manslaughter.

In this version of events, Bullseye fakes his father's suicide using a handgun set off by a toy arrow.^[11] It is unclear how many elements of this version are actually true.

His cold demeanor and unique skills, however, meant subsequent recruitment by the National Security Bureau as an assassin was inevitable, and he was soon assigned to railroad train Contras in Nicaragua. By the fourth dimension he arrived, however, he claimed to have already been planning to leave the NSA. He had planned on robbing the Contras bullheaded and fleeing, but soon discovered they were desperately poor. Bullseye made the all-time of the state of affairs: within seven hours of existence informed of their poverty, he had led the Contras in seizing a landing strip that the Colombian cocaine smugglers were using as a staging area earlier moving on to the United States. Without use of the airfield, the smugglers were unable to ship new shipments. Bullseye ready up his hapless Nicaraguan translator Paolo every bit the leader of the new strength decision-making the airfield, and let the discussion spread around; however, Paolo was nothing but a patsy. Bullseye planned to invite several organized crime heads to the airfield to broker a new deal with him every bit Paolo'due south supposed "right-hand man". He would take their coin and disappear, presumably leaving Paolo to suffer the wrath of the Mafia, Russian Mafia, Yakuza, and diverse other criminal elements. However, before the deal could be finalized, the Punisher (Frank Castle) arrived.

Bullseye turned himself in to the D.Due east.A. agents and soon was assigned to infiltrate the Kingpin's criminal empire. He obtained a costume, fled yet once more, and became 1 of the about unsafe hitmen in the globe.

All of the above information is given past Bullseye during a subsequent interrogation by U.s.a. intelligence.
