First Appearance: Daredevil II#111 (November, 2008)
Powers/Abilities: Lady Bullseye was personally trained in combat by Master Izo and the Hand, and she has mastered multiple forms of martial arts, emphasizing her speed, strength, and unerring accuracy while using swords, throwing needles, throwing stars, and other weapons against her foes. Lady Bullseye has mastered the ability to alter her heartrate and mask her scent in combat, fooling even Daredevil's senses at times.
For a time, Lady Bullseye developed superhuman abilities from Project Chrysallis, granting her the power to turn intangible and into a smoke-like substance, into which she could reform at will; she was badly wounded during a fight with Elektra but seems to be healed now, implying that the Chrysallis powers were temporary.
For a brief time, Lady Bullseye developed spider-powers, including sharp fangs, agility, and multiple eyes.
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 119 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black
History:
(Daredevil I#500 (fb) - BTS) - The girl who would become Lady Bullseye was put in a cage by the Hand and sold to the Yakuza.
(Daredevil II#111 (fb) - BTS) - The Yakuza placed her into human trafficking. She hated being touched when she didn't want to. Tortured, used and broken she was nearly driven insane.
(Daredevil II#111 (fb) - BTS) - In Tokyo, the girl was in a cage when she saw Bullseye move through the Yakuza, killing many. She managed to free herself then she killed a guard and ran to safety.
(Daredevil I#500 (fb) - BTS) - Master Izo secretly trained the girl, involving her in a long-term plot against the Hand. He promised that she would one day lead the Hand if she followed him.
(Daredevil II#112 (fb) - BTS) - In time, the girl joined the Hand, training as a ninja. She served under Lord Hirochi primarily.
(Daredevil II#112 (fb) ) - When the Avengers exposed Elektra, the leader of the Hand, as a Skrull, the girl watched over the following weeks the Hand break into competing factions. Hirochi summoned her.
(Daredevil II#112 (fb) - BTS) - After more training the woman chose a costume reminiscent of Bullseye's, and she chose the codename Lady Bullseye.
(Daredevil II#112 (fb) ) - Hirochi sent Lady Bullseye to New York City on a mission.
(Daredevil II#111 (fb) - BTS) - Lord Hirochi of the Hand sent Lady Bullseye to New York City to investigate four targets: Master Izo, Wolverine, Iron Fist, and Black Tarantula.
(Daredevil II#111) - After taking time to glory in New York City, Lady Bullseye stalked Matt Murdock and Dakota North outside Rand Corporation. In Central Park, she killed some muggers who shot at her, then she made sure a homeless man would tell the newspapers that Daredevil was a killer. After looking for her targets, she returned to Lord Hirochi and told him she'd found Iron Fist and Black Tarantula, but Master Izo and Wolverine were nowhere to be found.
(Daredevil II#112) - Lord Hirochi was furious with Lady Bullseye for framing Murdock. After apologizing, while prostrate on the ground, she smiled and stated that she would make sure Murdock was ready for the gift the Hand was prepared to give him.
Lady Bullseye met with Hiro, who questioned her methods of accusing Daredevil of murder. They then watched from afar as Hand ninjas attacked Black Tarantula in his apartment, gauging his skills. Soon, they watched more ninjas face off against Iron Fist, but Lady Bullseye had a few of them killed before Iron Fist could question them.
(Daredevil II#113 - BTS) - Lady Bullseye beat the man she'd forced to act as a witness to death, causing the police to suspect Daredevil.
(Daredevil II#114 (fb) - BTS) - Lady Bullseye posed as attorney Maki Matsumoto and teamed with attorneys at Werner and Block, including David Roth. She convinced the parents of Milla Donovan to place their daughter (the blind wife of Daredevil, who had been driven mad by Mister Fear and placed in a mental institution) into their own custody, all in a plot to distract Murdock further. She also hired a private investigator to gather intel to work against Matt.
(Daredevil II#113) - Lady Bullseye revealed herself to Daredevil, and the two sparred briefly as she made promises that all aspects of Daredevil's life would soon be in control of the Hand. Master Izo intervened as the other Hand ninjas attacked, and Lady Bullseye fled. She soon showed up at the home of White Tiger, killing her.
(Daredevil II#114) - "Maki Matsumoto" and Milla Donovan's parents went to a meeting with Matt Murdock and his attorney, Foggy Nelson, presenting the custody papers for Milla, as well as a copy of old un-filed divorce papers and photos of Matt having sex with Dakota North, who walked in shortly after. When Hiro confronted Lady Bullseye about straying from Hirochi's plans, she killed Hiro. Meanwhile, White Tiger was resurrected in Hirochi's service, then she in turn killed and resurrected Black Tarantula, recruiting him as well. She then had White Tiger and Black Tarantula attack Matt Murdock directly.
(Daredevil II#115) - When Master Izo and Iron Fist got involved in the fight, Lady Bullseye attacked, but she realized that Daredevil wasn't yet ready for the gift from the Hand. Master Izo shocked her by rushing from the fight, revealing he was going after Lord Hirochi directly, and Lady Bullseye panicked, sending White Tiger and Black Tarantula after him, as Iron Fist rushed after them. Lady Bullseye then sparred with Daredevil, revealing that she'd been clearing away the people in his life so that he would embrace leading the Hand directly. Shocked, Daredevil refused the offer, so Lady Bullseye left him unconscious. She returned and found that Izo had severed Hirochi's hand. Lady Bullseye then accompanied Black Tarantula, White Tiger, and Lord Hirochi to Spain for their back-up plan.
(Daredevil II#116) - Lady Bullseye instructed the Hand to kill the civilian family of the Kingpin in Spain, including Marta, and her children Adriana, and Jaime. The Kingpin killed several Hand ninjas, but not before he was poisoned and paralyzed. Lady Bullseye revealed herself and told him that Daredevil was to blame for all this. She told him to go after Daredevil and tell him that Lady Bullseye had sent him.
(Dark Reign Files#1 - BTS) - Quasimodo wrote about Lady Bullseye in a report to Norman Osborn.
(Daredevil II#118) - Hearing that the Owl wanted to meet her, Lady Bullseye took Hand ninjas and ambushed him. The Owl, who was actually working for the Kingpin, said he wanted to hire her to take out his enemies, and she told him her services cost a fortune.
(Daredevil II#119 (fb) - BTS) - Lady Bullseye and the Hand targeted many of the Kingpin's foes, slaughtering them, including Alfredo Guerro, Max Sharp, and Miranda Lavender.
(Daredevil II#119) - On Kingpin's order Owl assigned Lady Bullseye to kill Foggy Nelson, and she eagerly sent Black Tarantula and White Tiger after him. She then revealed to Owl that she had had the men looking out for him killed, the ones had hidden on the periphery. Drawing a sword on the Owl, Lady Bullseye demanded that Owl take her to the Kingpin, whom Owl was obviously working for. Lady Bullseye met with Kingpin and told him that it was clear from the beginning that Owl was just used as a decoy by Kingpin. She then told Kingpin he had earned the respect of the Hand by deceiving them to do his dirty work for him. When she sensed Dakota North watching them Lady Bullseye tossed her hairpins into Dakota's arm, Owl then ambushed Dakota and knocked her out.
(Daredevil I#500) - Lady Bullseye took the Kingpin to the Hand, where he killed Hirochi for being the one to order the deaths of his loved ones in Spain. As Kingpin tried to claim leadership of the Hand, Master Izo and Daredevil burst in, and Daredevil swiftly defeated Lady Bullseye in combat. Daredevil agreed to become leader of the Hand if they promised to never do business with the Kingpin again, and cast Lady Bullseye out, and they agreed. Lady Bullseye sought out Izo on her own, saying she'd been lied to, and she vowed to find him one day and kill him.

(Shadowland#4) - From a roof Kingpin and Lady Bullseye watched the police of New York City overwhelmed by riots. She didn't care for Kingpin's believe that it would lead to a new order and only wanted to join the fight. Kingpin promised Lady Bullseye that she would have blood on her hands soon enough before inviting her to join him in his helicopter. From the helicopter Lady Bullseye saw the fires spreading from one building to the next and was sure the Kinpin would lose his building, but he was heading for a new base anyway--Shadowland.
(Shadowland#5) - Kingpin arrived at Shadowland with Lady Bullseye behind him and offered the Hand to lead them after Daredevil had failed them.
