WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Daredevil #33, on sale now from Marvel.
Elektra Natchios' time defending Hell's Kitchen as the new Daredevil while Matt Murdock is locked away in prison certainly has not been a smooth superhero gig. With Manhattan in the midst of a gang war for control of New York City's criminal underworld, Elektra has also had to contend with a symbiote invasion during the crossover event King in Black and the return of her most hated enemy, Bullseye. And with the supervillain prowling the streets of New York in his most murderous rampage yet, Elektra discovers firsthand that there is more than one Bullseye roaming the city. And as she barely escapes with her life, it is revealed this trio of Bullseyes aren't a group of copycats but clones of the real deal.
After being defeated by Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk while working together to protect Hell's Kitchen from a band of supervillains, the murderous supervillain was confined in a secret lab under the Ravencroft Institute. As Fisk decided to renew his vendetta against Daredevil, he tasked his scientists to develop a way to make Bullseye easier to mentally control in order to serve as his ultimate assassin. While the original Bullseye remained captive in a stasis tube, cloning experts were brought in to create a new incarnation of the killer from the ground up to provide a relatively clean slate for them to program accordingly. And as revealed in Daredevil #33 by Chip Zdarsky, Marco Checchetto, Marcio Menyz and VC's Clayton Cowles, this strategy gave Bullseye his most deadly set of weapons yet.
Escaping from Ravencroft and killing the scientists working on controlling him and his clones, Bullseye now commands at least two duplicates that are every inch as lethal as he is. Since then, the trio has easily eluded the authorities as they embark on a crime spree so murderous that Fisk has since locked himself away in his penthouse as the city's mayor, fearing Bullseye's wrath for what he subjected him to in the underground lab. And taking the time to ambush Elektra and make her suffer rather than proceed with a swift death, the two Bullseye clones joining the original appear to be just as sadistic.
Even when there's just one Bullseye active, he is still one of the most notorious supervillains in the Marvel Universe. Not only capable of throwing objects with an especially lethal sense of pinpoint accuracy, Bullseye can also stand toe-to-toe against some of the more accomplished hand-to-hand combatants in the superhero community. Perhaps even more disturbing is Bullseye's resilience, recovering from everything from a broken spine to being temporarily killed by Matt Murdock during the crossover event Shadowland, showing how Bullseye's particular brand of evil can seemingly never die.
With three equally dangerous Bullseyes working together to rack up a murderous rampage that plunges New York City into a state of fear, with not even the Avengers able to track down the supervillains as they continue their killing spree. Bullseye is a supervillain that has proven to be one of the most nightmarish figures in New York's criminal underworld. Now that he's expanded into a full trio, it's going to take an incredible effort to stop the growing body count and put down the supervillain for good.
