Tony Masters: Taskmaster Appreciation 2020

[Hybrid]

An appreciation for Taskmaster, the copycat mercenary of Marvel.

Also, he'll be the main antagonist for the upcoming Black Widow movie. I hope he survives, and joins the Thunderbolts (a rumor I've heard). Looks like he'll have his signature photographic reflexes in the movie.



Discuss.

Taskmaster copying Widow's flip was the best scene in the whole teaser for me .

Taskmaster from his creator, George Perez:

that "Taskmaster" in the trailer is almost certainly a female. they telegraphed it with the "who is that guy" comment. the way the suit is padded also points to it. i'm not saying that the person doing the stunts (when it isn't CGI) isn't a guy. i am saying to not get your hopes up for Tony to appear. :shrugs:

p.s. just realized that i'm tired of the 3 point landing. wish the winter soldier fight choreographers were doing this.

Taskmaster is too tall to be Rachel Weisz, who only has two inches on the 5'4" Scarlett Johansson.

TASKMASTER HAS MURDERED MARIA HILL!

Or at least that’s what the whole world thinks. Now the greatest spies in the business are hunting him down and won’t stop until Taskmaster is dead or clears his own name! Follow JED MACKAY (BLACK CAT) and ALESSANDRO VITTI (SECRET WARRIORS) on a globe–spanning adventure that will send ripples through every corner of the Marvel Universe’s espionage community!

[Tony Stark]

Always loved Taskmaster. He's one of my all time favs. I just hope they don't make him not speak. He's trash talk is glorious lol.

[Michael Watkins]

please say psyche

it's like the 3rd time that she's been fake killed. maybe she should have given him his golden toilet.

Always loved Taskmaster. He's one of my all time favs.

Me too. One of the best, IMHO.

I just hope they don't make him not speak. He's trash talk is glorious lol.

I know, right? The way he looks compared to the way he acts. That stark contrast is disconcerting, but mesmerizing.

[Frontier]

Looking forward to Tasky in a new series. I think Jed McKay will be a good fit .

please say psyche

Yeah, we can't be that lucky .

[The Cool Thatguy]

I hope they get read of his memory issues. I prefer him as a regular scumbag
