Powers and Abilities[]

  • Master Marksman: Poindexter has extraordinary, near-inhuman talent in marksmanship; he could wield firearms with superior accuracy and precision, even ricochet bullets to hit the intended targets. As a child, he could drill a hole into a brick wall by repeatedly throwing a baseball in the same spot. He can use practically any object as a lethal projectile, such as stationery supplies in the New York Bulletin Building and the deconstructed parts of his gun that he used to kill two Albanian Syndicate members. He was able to use chandelier crystals to hurl at Daredevil and Ray Nadeem with extreme velocity and deadly precision, threw a pair of scissors into Daredevil's chest easily outpace the perception of the latter's superhuman senses. He also threw edible forks, spoons, and knives at several agents at Wilson Fisk's wedding. He was even able to throw a gun backwards at Tammy Hattley's head while he wasn't looking and still managed to hit his target. Poindexter is also able to pull off curve-shots and trick shots with an unerring amount of accuracy.
  • Master Combatant: Due to his training in the United States Army and the FBI, Bullseye became a highly-skilled fighter. His fighting style seems to comprise of Boxing, Karate, Jujitsu, Kali, Krav Maga, and Muay Thai. Allowing him to fight opponents such as Daredevil and Kingpin, as well as quickly defeat a group of FBI agents with ease. However while skilled, Poindexter was unable to beat Murdock at hand-to-hand combat due to the latter's greater training, and thus during their fights required his marksmanship and ranged attacks to even the odds.

Equipment[]

  • Glock 17: Poindexter carried this handgun as his standard sidearm. He resorted to use it when the convoy transporting Wilson Fisk from Ryker's Island to the Presidential Hotel was ambushed, and accurately shot the members of the Albanian Syndicate, even the ones who surrendered. Once he was reinstated to the FBI, but this time as an operative loyal to Wilson Fisk, he carried his gun while he searched for Daredevil in the Clinton Church right after attacking him. It was also the gun he used to kill Ray Nadeem in his own house, and when he was lured by Daredevil to a warehouse where he found Julie Barnes' corpse.
  • FN FNS: Poindexter owned this handgun and was about to use it when he was considering killing himself for scaring Julie Barnes away and being suspended from his job, but was interrupted before doing it by a call from Wilson Fisk. Later he used the gun on Ray Nadeem and Daredevil when they broke into his apartment, ricocheting the bullets to shoot the apartment upstairs, and he lost the gun when he went to try and chase Daredevil through the fire escape.
  • Glock 19: Poindexter obtained one of these guns from an FBI agent as he attacked Wilson Fisk's wedding at the Presidential Hotel. He used it to shoot Tammy Hattley in the side as she tried to reach for her gun, and as the gun ran out of ammunition, he threw it to her, knocking her down.
  • Baseball: As a child, Poindexter had used his masterful pitching skills to murder Bradley with a baseball. Poindexter later used a baseball during his first fight with Daredevil.
  • Office Supplies: Poindexter can throw office supplies with deadly force such as pencils, pens, staplers during his first fight with Daredevil, eventually throwing a pair of scissors into his shoulder.
  • Kitchen Utensils: Poindexter can throw kitchen utensils such as forks knives and spoons with deadly force. He threw these items at some FBI agents during his attack on the Hotel killing them and even using throwing these items during his fight with Daredevil and Kingpin.
  • Bulletproof Vest: While on his missions with the FBI, Poindexter wears a bulletproof vest under his jacket or FBI SWAT uniform, able to withstand ballistic impact from many calibers.
  • Daredevil suit: After being recognized by Wilson Fisk, Poindexter was given Daredevil's impermeable armored suit and decided to take it in order used in the New York Bulletin, in an attempt to shut down any plan to expose Fisk. The suit was created by Melvin Potter who made Fisk's suit, Potter was persuaded by Fisk to make another suit by replicating it in case Daredevil will infiltrate him. The second suit that Poindexter equips is a red and black suit with a mask and helmet resembling the Christian Devil, leading to taking the name and slandering it. This suit is highly durable, allowing him to be nearly unfazed by an opponent's attacks and recover more quickly from being hit; such as taking hits in the head with a punch by the real Daredevil.
  • Billy Club: When Poindexter was asked by Wilson Fisk to put on the armored suit for him, Poindexter also utilized Daredevil's special Billy Club. It can be used as a short staff, or two individual sticks joined by a high tensile wire for grappling. It can also be split into two individual short sticks for close-quarters combat. It is kept in a holster on the suit's left thigh.
