    Widow isn't going to challenge him to a fight, she's not going to want the satisfaction of dealing with him with her bare hands.

    She'd just drop poison in his drink. She'd sabotage his car, or as we saw, snipe him from a distance why he was unarmed.

    There's more to being a bad ass than just being able to fight. And Widow excels in those areas
    I wish I am very well-informed about Taskmaster in the comics because reading how comic readers speak lowly of him is kinda annoying. All I get from this post is that Nat is too good for Tasky and deserves a better mortal enemy.

    In comics, they're not mortal enemies. And who knows what will happen in the movie? So don't worry

    I don't mean to disrespect Taskmaster. He's one of my favorite villains. But that's because he's not a stereotypical villain who wants to rule the world, kick the puppies, and kill everyone who stands in his way. He's a lot more complicated (and tragic) than that, and he's mostly in the game for self-preservation. That's what I like about him, the nuance. I don't want Black Widow to be his arch-nemesis because I don't think he should be anyone's arch-nemesis...except for maybe himself.

    Actually, maybe we should take this over to the Taskmaster appreciation thread here: https://community.cbr.com/showthread...eciation-2020/

    So Kelly Thompson said to wait for issue #5 before people come from her head. Having read issue #4 now I get what she meant haha

    I was so eager to read it that I didn't take a closer look at the cover and the first page so the sudden change of the art style took me by surprise. A pleasant one, I really like the look of the flashback scenes.
    Tolstoy will live forever. Some people do. But that's not enough. It's not the length of a life that matters, just the depth of it. The chances we take. The paths we choose. How we go on when our hearts break. Hearts always break and so we bend with our hearts. And we sway. But in the end what matters is that we loved... and lived.

    I hadn't looked at the names prior to reading it either and was like "Wait. That's different"

    But yeah they look just as good.

    And boom goes the dynamite. Savage stuff, but that’s life as a tragic hero.

    If one is well informed about Taskmaster in comics then they should know Taskmaster doesn’t do mortal enemies. That’s just bad business. I think Black Widow lucked out if they do Taskmaster right. He’s a refreshing villain that can be used to break away from the traditional norms. And he once took the Avengers on all by himself. He’s more then just good in a fight, but at the same time he’s just practical. So being purposely hunted by a superhero with a personal vendetta against him would be a nightmare situation for him. Making heroes extra motivated is the kind of mistake other bad guys make. The Red Room is Widows mortal enemy.

    Tbf from Kelly's tweet I wouldn't be surprised if the thing that happened might turn out to have been prevented or reversed somehow in the next issue because comics.

    Yeah, chances are slim for Marvel spoilers:
    killing off an infant for real.
    end of spoilers

    On a different note, there were discussions about Nat's mortal enemies on here and now we get a panel with all of them, what a coincidence.

    But who is the female on the right below von Strucker and Kingpin? Could be Anya but she is already my guess for the one on the left below Tasky.

    Some rando, yes.
    But most likely chosen for his resemblance with another James.

    I think it’s Snapdragon.
