History: (Punisher II#8)- The Skid Row Slasher imposters went out in the streets, looking for bums to terrorize, and to place the blame on the real Skid Row Slasher who was loose in the city, killing bums. They attacked a bum, telling him to take off his coat. The "bum" did as they said, and revealed himself to them as the Punisher. He began to fight the "Slashers", breaking the neck of two of the Slashers, leaving the third one for the police.
