Joe Emberlin (Earth-616)

Joe Emberlin is a student who had been trained to mimic Hawkeye's abilities by Taskmaster as the assassin Jagged Bow.

Taskmaster's Test[]

While investigating the Red Skull's dealings at an estate near Alexandria, Virginia, Spider-Man encountered Solo and, upon realizing they may be walking into a trap, the two agreed to a tenuous team-up.

Once inside, their fears were confirmed when Taskmaster revealed his students, a trio who had been trained as an evil version of the Avengers and were sent to fight Spider-Man as their final test. Solo immediately attempted to shoot and kill them, but was stopped by Spider-Man, who did not approve of using lethal force.

After being wrapped up by Blood Spider's webbing, Solo teleported out of the bindings and behind Jagged Bow, knocking him unconscious; meanwhile, Spider-Man engaged Death-Shield, blinding him with webbing to the face, then downing Blood Spider with a punch to the gut.

Sensing the students' imminent defeat, Taskmaster looked to flee, and as Solo tied up Jagged Bow and Death-Shield, Spider-Man gave chase, but Blood Spider recovered long enough to allow his teacher to escape.^[4]

All-New, All-Different Marvel[]

When the Mercs for Money stole a Rigellian Recorder from the Beyond Corporation, Crime Master hired Taskmaster's students to ambush Deadpool and Slapstick in a Manhattan warehouse, hoping to steal the Recorder for himself.

Jagged Bow shot Wade full of arrows, including one which cut off his nose; however, a hammer to Death-Shield's face from Slapstick and well-placed shots to Blood Spider's weblines and backpack from Deadpool ultimately turned the tide, and the Mercs eventually forced the students to retreat.^[2]

• Skilled Archer: Emberlin was trained by Taskmaster to mimic Clint Barton's status as a master archer with exceptional accuracy.^[4] He is capable of firing multiple arrows at a single target in a few seconds, hitting multiple targets in a few quick succession, or firing multiple arrows all at once.^[2]

• Marksman: Emberlin possesses keen eyesight and his accuracy is extraordinary.^[2]

• Acrobat: Emberlin is very athletic, with quick reflexes and agility, allowing him to easily dodge bullets.^[4]

• Bow and Trick Arrows

• Jagged Bow is apparently named after Randy Emberlin.
• Jagged Bow was crushed with a car by Venom in Venom: Lethal Protector (Vol. 2) #1, but has appeared in chronologically later stories, meaning that Emberlin was either at some point resurrected, or someone else just took on the identity of Jagged Bow.
