Bullseye is a charcter i have always liked due to his rivalary with Daredevil and what is has done over the years. He is basically the main villain for Dardevil besides the Kingpin and i have been thinking about how would they reimagine him for the Netflix's Daredevil Series. Well i have been watching an anime and before you shout at me in the comments no this is not your typical anime. It's a little underrated show called Bacanno and i have a found a charcter that best represents what i would like to see in Bullseye. Meet Vino
This guy is freaking nuts in all sense of the word. He is a Freelance Assassin who adopts the idenity of the Rail Chaser when trouble hits the rail chaser and you do not want to get in this guy's way. You know why you shouldn't mess with this guy. Well you know why he is called Vino well he mutailtes his victims as they looked like they are coated in red whine and let's just say his method of killing is quite brutal and he hangs his victims over the edge and well let's just say they will be wishing for death.
So how does this all relate to Bullseye then. Well several elements for Vino i think would fit amazingly for Bullsye. The first point is backstory - while we do gets hits for Vino's backstory we do not know the full story. This is done itentionally by the writers as keeping his past in the dark makes it ever the more intresting. Same with Bullseye - unlike Kingpin who is defined by his past actions. Bullsye lives his life one step at a time and does not care about his past. Very much like our freind here.
The Second point is personality. Bullseye is very self absorbed and sadastic as he only cares about himself and getting the job done. I think they could take this a bit further when it comes to his personality. To put it simply he is a psychotic yet philosophical, maniac, something of a very deranged warrior poet; Claire's psychology is twisted and mental even by Baccano's standards, complete with the solipsist ideology that one's own mind is the only thing sure to exist and in the anime, he says that he cannot die because the world is only a dream and that all people might just exist in his imagination.
That could work perfectly with Bullseye not only being psychotic but also philsophical as he truly belives in himself and everything he has done. He is so selfabsorbed that he considers himself to be a untouchable God who has ultimate power. He beleives that every thing is just one sick nightmare and the only think you can be sure about is yourself. Bullseye in the series he operates outside the law under his own unique and somewhat twisted sense of justice and what is right and wrong with and in the world but like Vino who does have some mercy and compassion. Bullseye has done as he beleives that everyone besides himself is just a figment of his twisted imagination and are just pawns. Of course Bullseye in the series would be very very charismatic, intelligent and perceptive.
Bullseye due the fact he beleives himself to be untouchable and a god amongst men and he has the skills to back it up as until Daredevil arrives no one has even been able to lay a scratch on him. Dardevil pulls him back to reality in a sense as he is not the untouchable god that he thinks he is. Bullseye hates Daredevil because he is the only one that has managed to bring him back to the truth and Bullseye will erase everything Dardevil has cared about in order to make sure that Daredevil no longer has a sense on reality. Seeing Daredevil's skill he wants to create another monster like himself as no one has managed to stand up to him until now.
That's my piece on the charcter of Bullseye. After watching Bacanno i thought about how Vino's charcter would fit perfectly for a reimagined version of Bullseye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One more thing...WATCH BACANNO.
