Fictional character biography

Death-Shield is a mercenary trained by the Taskmaster. The Taskmaster is under contract by the Red Skull to create a team of mercenaries who would be capable of defeating Spider-Man. The trio were patterned after the superheroes: Captain America, Hawkeye, and Spider-Man. The characters were called: Death-Shield, Jagged Bow, and Blood Spider. Solo joined the fray on the side of the wall-crawler and helps to defeat the three villains and thwart the machinations of the Red Skull, who was using the mercenaries to guard private files sought by Spider-Man in reference to his parents.[1]

Years later, Blood Spider, Death-Shield, and Jagged Bow appear among the criminals vying for the multimillion-dollar bounty that was placed on Agent Venom's head by Lord Ogre. The trio's attempt on Agent Venom's life is interrupted by competing mercenaries Constrictor and Lord Deathstrike.[2]

Crime Master, with the help of Blood Spider, Death-Shield, and Jagged Bow, later tries to steal a damaged Rigellian Recorder from Deadpool and the Mercs for Money.[3]
