Well, perhaps not
Bullseye is a sadistic, murderous psychopath with a ruthless sense of purpose. His true identity remains a mystery, possibly Benjamin Poindexter or Lester, or something similar. Unlike superheroes with superhuman genes, Bullseye's abilities stem from natural talent, much like Hawkeye. In the versatile world of Marvel Comics, his "peak human" status allows him to turn anything from a throwing knife to a pen, paperclip, or his signature razor playing cards into deadly weapons.

Despite his seemingly basic nature, Bullseye is a hired mercenary with an exceptional danger-to-dumb-costume ratio. He has left a trail of victims throughout the Marvel Universe, famously killing Elektra and taking on the role of Hawkeye in the Dark Avengers, where he continued his deadly work. His intelligence and skill allow him to turn killing into a profitable business.
However, what does he do?
Bullseye's primary skill is flinging objects with deadly precision. He can throw anything with unusual skill, which he brings to the game SNAP, where he uses your weakest cards (no more than 1-Cost) to deal -2 Power to your opponent's cards. Each card hits a different target, showcasing his perfect aim and sadistic effect. Using the Activate ability, Bullseye ensures you discard your hand at the most opportune moment.

Bullseye is a perfect fit for Discard synergies like Scorn or Swarm, enhancing their effects and supporting scalers like Morbius or Miek. His ability to discard multiple cards can amplify plays like MODOK/Swarm on turn 5, supercharging powerful effects.

However, Bullseye has his weaknesses. Luke Cage can render his threat completely pointless, while Red Guardian can disrupt meticulously planned Discard plays. Careful planning is essential to maximize Bullseye's effectiveness.
Bullseye Decks on Day One
The classic Discard deck is Bullseye's most obvious synergy. His ability directly enhances Scorn and Swarm, adding more payoff and redundancy to an already potent engine. This deck focuses on Swarm, using Collector, Victoria Hand, and Moonstone to take advantage of Bullseye's potentially massive Discard turns.

Gambit is included for his powerful effect and thematic connection to Bullseye's playing card-throwing. Another deck focuses on using Daken's doubling effect to combo out a win, with Bullseye adding control and redundancy, enhancing the chances of discarding multiple copies of the Muramasa Shard.

Verdict
Bullseye may be more challenging to integrate than expected, with his effect requiring careful deck-building to maximize its potential. His flashy character and significant contribution to Discard decks centered on Swarm and Scorn make him a compelling addition to any player's arsenal, especially for those looking to embrace the extravagant, absurd style of Bullseye's spirit.
