After the release of the Black Widow teaser trailer yesterday I thought it was time to discuss one of the most enigmatic figures from the teaser. That villain is Taskmaster, the shadowy mercenary that seems to be hot on the heels of our hero Natasha throughout the entirety of the film.

Throughout this video we’ll be discussing everything that you need to know about Taskmaster including his origins from the comic books, the characters powers and abilities. We’ll also be going over some of the leaks from the film on who the character could really be.

Because of this there will be Heavy Spoilers so if you don’t want anything about the movie potentially ruined then I highly suggest that you turn off now. I’ll be giving you another spoiler warning before we get to the Fan Theories and Plot Leaks for the movie so don’t worry if you just want to know the characters backstory.

With that out the way I just wanna give a huge thank you for clicking this video, now let’s get into our breakdown of Taskmaster.

Taskmaster First Appearance

Ok so Taskmaster was created by David Michelinie and George Perez all the way back in 1980 in Avengers issue #195. Though his appearance was rather shortlived in this entry, mainly popping up just to provide a cliffhanger, the character soon went on to become a massive adversary for the Marvel characters and he now has a legacy that spans almost fourty years.

Taskmaster initially wished to be a superhero but, failing that he became a villain, using his abilities for personal gain rather than the good of mankind. Still, the character has pretty much become an anti-hero at this point, blurring the lines between good and bad through his actions.

This has made him fascinating for fans who’ve watched the character cross sides over his long and rich history.

Taskmaster, real name Tony Masters, though not a superpowered being perse, has Photographic reflexes which allows him to remember an action perfectly upon seeing it. A literal copy cat the character has an almost intimate knowledge of every villain and hero’s combat moves within the Marvel lineup.



With this knowledge he can then mimic a persons abilities and learn their fighting style instantly, thus being able to replicate it himself or use knowledge of it to best his opponents easily.

Anything you can do, Taskmaster can do better and if you run into him down a dark alley you better prepare to have all of the best moves from the best Marvel heroes thrown at you.

Taskmaster was injected with a replica of the super-soldier serum that created Captain America, however, rather than gifting him with strenght and enhanced healing abilities, it instead increased his memory massively.

Taskmaster has a perfect memory and can recall every moment of his life as if he was there in the moment, meaning that after he has went head to head with someone he can analyse their battle and pick apart all of the weak links and tells that he noticed during it.

This has made him a master martial artist and someone that is one of the best hand to hand fighters in all of comic books.

However, this is limited strictly to human movement rather than superhuman movement and there have been several times when copying this has backfired most notably in the case of the living cartoon character Slapstick in which mimicking their movements ended up leading to Taskmaster breaking his own back. Yikes.

Taskmaster also has struggled in the past with Deadpool due to...
