Where did Jackal get a Spider-Man statue. Did he hire someone to sculpt it just so Punny could shoot it to pieces? I can’t imagine this was mass produced during the early part of Spidey’s career.
Imagine you’re Frank Castle. You’re a Vietnam vet (sliding timescale, yadda-yadda-yadda) whose entire family was massacred by gangsters. You dedicate your entire life to killing criminals. And your first job is to be hired by a man wearing a fuzzy green jackal costume who wants you to prove your skill by shooting at a statue.
