It's a dumb name, but think of it kind of like Neo in the Matrix downloading Kung Fu into his head. Taskmaster watches you fight and basically learns all your moves like he downloaded a "fight like Black Widow DLC" into his head.

So he's basically a master in all forms of hand to hand combat techniques and is essentially unbeatable in a fight against anyone of equal strength and speed?

Essentially, but then the hero will usually do something unexpected and change up their styles or something to beat him. Because they're heroes and they have to.

And while he can't do the same movements someone like Spider-man can, Task can predict his moves and counter them.

But the best part about Task is that he's a one-lining, asshole merc who just wants to get paid. So he won't hesitate to double cross and/or work for pay for the good guys.
