    With his impecable aim and of course with Bullseye taking a dirt nap for a while, do you think he could be the new sureshot villain in Marvel for a while?

    Maybe, but the Boomerang persona holds him back.  He's too limited just using boomerangs, and he's been such a jobber for so long.   Bullseye was great because he could kill you with anything and was just nuts on top of it.   Perhaps if he dropped the Boomerang persona, and explored his dark side a bit.

    I don't think the Boomerangs hold him back because all of them are gimmicked with something different. But there are a few issues that portray Boomerang as having the ability to throw any object and make it a deadly weapon...check out way back in Spectacular Spider-man #73..when he tries to escape from custody and just uses regular desk objects....or Deadly Foes of Spider-man when he is taking people out with Staplers, Watches, Loose Change and other items...so that aspect of him being like Bullseye has been portrayed before. Plus, Marvel has never shyed away from him being a cold blooded killer...not counting the one panel in the X-Force mini-series...he has murdered a few people (3 people he has assasinated successfully at least including Jackpot's husband)

    @Boomerang:
    Yeah, he can be just as effective as Bullseye and I realy think he has more potential than he gets credit for.

    @iLLituracy:

    Which is what they are doing. Lady Bullseye is filling the "Bullseye" spot for now. Boomer is on the Thundderbolts anyway.
