Bullseye (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Bullseye (real name Benjamin "Dexter" Poindexter), is a disturbed and mentally unstable FBI agent who is manipulated by Kingpin (Wilson Fisk), into becoming his right-hand man and also a dummy Daredevil in order to incriminate the real one. He thus serves as one of the main antagonists of Season 3 of ''Marvel's Daredevil. ''

He is played by Wilson Bethel and is based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name.

Early life
Benjamin Poindexter was the child of parents who were implied to have been abusive/poor caregivers. When they died when Benjamin was young, he was put in an orphanage. The early loss of his parents instilled Ben with a deep sense of emptiness and unhappiness, with him pining for his lost parents to come back to him. However, it also ensured that he was unable to be properly taught right and wrong, as well as becoming dangerously unstable mentally. When he was informed by a baseball coach who had befriended him that he needed to step down from the pitching plate to give other kids a try, Benjamin spitefully threw the baseball he was given at a metal pole. The ball ricocheted off of it and hit the coach in the side of the head with enough force to kill him...exactly what Benjamin had intended.

Following his first murder, he was put in psychiatric care. Despite admitting to his therapist that his throwing the ball at his coach's head was indeed intentional, she chose not to have him incarcerated, instead resolving to teach him empathy and hoping that she could curb his murderous and sociopathic impulses.

FBI Agent
As an adult, Ben had become an FBI agent in the hope that it would bring order and structure to his life, though he still had murderous impulses that would occasionally manifest, such as when he murdered members of New York's Albanian criminal empire who had already surrendered and then lied about it, or when he lied again that he was coping with his use of lethal force on targets when in fact he was doing no such thing. During this time, Wilson Fisk (then a prisoner of the FBI), became interested in Benjamin, who had earlier saved his life, and began making efforts to sway the young man to his side. After digging into Ben's past and learning of his unsavory childhood acts, Fisk inserted himself as a mentor figure in Benjamin's life and began steadily corrupting him and galvinizing him into fully embracing his murderous impulses.

During this time, Benjamin was secretly stalking a young woman named Julie who he had history with as part of a suicide prevention group. Obsessed with her but unable to express it in a healthy manner, Julie's later death (secretly arranged by Fisk), proved one of the last things needed to
