but I could be wrong. Have any other street leverers beat Taskmaster?
anyway, Taskmaster whups Blade into shape.
yup.. something I noticed as of late...
Tm does GREAT against people with low level fighting ability, he can use his mimiced moves to mess up all sorts of opponents up close including the likes of spiderman, iron man, and even captain marvel....
but what TM doesn't do very well, is consistently beat tough street levels with level 6 to 7 fighting ability...
for instance, elektra, she was pounding on him in both of their fights and there was nothing he could do about it except use DD's fighting style to throw her off her game... but the next time they fought she clobbered him in like one or two hits.
He was able to beat down deadpool the first time they met but after that he's lost every encounter since (on a side note the same thing applies to spidey as well).
Captain america has beat his ass.
Hell, even the falcon has given him problems in hand to hand combat...
Taskmaster at his absolute best is a complete beast.. the thing is, TM at his best isn't a major consistency for the guy since the earlier days of his incarnation....
consistently, he'll lose to blades, skills, superior speed, power and supernatural durability/ healing factor...
I mean we saw how spooked he got when he saw moon knight keep coming at him after being shot by a few arrows... after seeing blade keep coming with a sword in his gut TM's gonna be craping himself...
at his absolute best, the way the character was originally intended to be by his creater... Tm wins..
using consistency as a basis.. he loses.
