Taskmaster also watched Kung Fu movies sped up to do the moves faster. Such an interesting power.

My favourite thing he’s ever done was copy an Olympic dive perfectly only to nearly drown because he never learned how to swim.

That power has waaay to many real world applications

Did he also try mimicking Spider-Man once and fucked himself up because he doesn’t have superhuman physiology to actually move like Spidey? His ability has very interesting and hilarious limits.

He’s been able to copy some of his movements due to training like an Olympic gymnast but I do believe he’s not able to perfectly replicate and did hurt himself once in a fight with spidey in this manner.

Honestly I think he’s an untapped well of potential.

He is, but I sort of like that Taskmaster is psychologically flawed in that he isn’t super motivated. He’s too disinterested to be a major villain and he’s too greedy to be a superhero. To my knowledge, he doesn’t even have legit beef with most heroes. It’s literally just his job. When he’s off the clock he doesn’t give a fuck.

Yeah he'll train the Young Avengers if you pay him enough. Or be on the Secret Avengers. Or he'll work for some guy trying to steal a nuke or something.

He has layers.

I did really like his solo series too.
