Bullseye

"You were good, baby... but me... I'm magic!"

- Daredevil (film)

Bullseye is an Irish assassin who works for Wilson Fisk.

Daredevil
Bullseye was hired by the Kingpin to kill Nicholas Natchios. Bullseye kills Natchios with Daredevil's billy club, causing Elektra to believe Daredevil killed her father. Bullseye himself begins to perceive Daredevil a personal challenge to his skills, because he is the only target he has ever missed.

Later, Elektra attacks Daredevil, seeking revenge, but soon realizes Bullseye killed her father. Elektra and Bullseye battle, but he slits her throat with a playing card, then stabs her with one of her sai (which was exactly how he killed her in the comics), and her heart stops (in the Director's Cut, Bullseye deals more injuries to her and while impaling her, gives her a kiss by biting down on her lower lip).

Bullseye chases Daredevil to a church, and they battle until Daredevil maneuvers Bullseye's hands to be shot by a S.W.A.T. sniper, leaving him with wounds resembling stigmata. With Bullseye wounded, Daredevil grabs him and throws him out of a window, crashing onto the hood of a car. A later scene shows him hospitalized but still able to fling a hypodermic needle with enough force and accuracy to impale a fly.

Relationship

 * Daredevil - Being the only target he's ever missed, Bullseye's pride is hurt by the vigilante and desires to kill him.
 * Kingpin - Kingpin is nothing more than Bullseye's boss. It isn't shown what he actually thinks of his boss, but enjoys killing for him.
 * Elektra Natchios - Although she was another person he killed, Bullseye seemed to have developed a strong attraction to Elektra, constantly smiling at her even when she attacks him and even complimented her skills at one point before gutting her. While gutting her, he gives her a kiss. Later, when Bullseye mentions her, he shows some joy thinking about her.

Behind the scenes

 * Colin Farrell was invited to keep his Irish accent in playing Bullseye, since in the movie continuity he's from Ireland.
 * Colin Farrell declared that he really enjoyed playing Bullseye because he was a character without limitations, who he could exagerate with.
 * Bullseye's (lack of) costume was one of the main discussions between Joe Quesada and Mark Steven Johnson.
