History:
(Amazing Spider-Man I#367 (fb) - BTS) - Jagged Bow was one of Taskmaster's students who had been trained to mimic Hawkeye.
(Amazing Spider-Man I#367) Solo and Spider-Man stumbled upon an estate which was supposed to be the site of "some mysterious project". When they entered, Taskmaster greeted them and introduced his students. Solo said he had his own name for the group... "Dead men" and opened fire. Spider-Man basically saved their lives by pushing Solo's guns away. After Blood Spider wrapped Solo up with his weblines, Jagged Bow took aim, but Solo teleported behind him and knocked him out with his nunchuks. He was later seen tied to Death-Shield, courtesy of Solo.
(Venom
II#37) - The crimelord Lord Ogre placed a bounty to kill Venom (Flash
Thompson). Many mercenaries and assassins responded. Alongside
Blood-Spider and Death-Shield, Jagged Bow attacked Venom in an old
warehouse. Jagged Bow fire three mini-explosive-tipped arrows at Venom,
following themis with a sonic arrow. This weakened Venom allowing
Blood-Spider to strike. Soon after, Venom hurled Death-Shield at Jagged
Bow, knocking him over. Lord Deathstrike and Constrictor entered the
fight, also seeking the bounty, and they fiercely battled each other
during which Venom was able to escape.

He received a real name in
Taskmaster's entry in OHOTMU A-Z HC#11.
These guys were pretty weak,
considering they
survived Taskmaster's training (Read all about it in Agent X).
He certainly upgraded his skills
level by Venom II#37 as Venom commented that all three "almost
outclassed me."

Jagged Bow's colors were slightly off on the cover of#367. His hair was blonder and the purple on his costume was replaced with yellow inside the book.
