Bullseye (Lester) 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. He is also an enemy of the Punisher. Bullseye possesses the innate and preternatural ability 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. The alternate continuities of Daredevil Noir, PunisherMAX, and Ultimate Marvel respectively feature the original Bullseye incarnations Eliza, Shelton Pendergrass, and Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter.
Bullseye has been adapted into various forms of media relating to Daredevil, with live-action portrayals including Colin Farrell in the film Daredevil (2003), Wilson Bethel as Poindexter in the third season of the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series Daredevil (2018) and Daredevil: Born Again (2025-present), and Curtis Small in the MCU film Deadpool & Wolverine (2024).
