MrMind
deadshot can do it easily
I'd wager any marksman can
AlbertoJohnAvil
timing, accuracy, not to mention this legit is not humanly possible.
Add the fact as well, shooting freestyle one handed (EXTREMELY Difficult IRL) vs. The cops 2 hand correct grip and stance to manage recoil and maximize accuracy.

With Tasky's feat, it's like a 1 in a million shot when done in controlled conditions and given the context of how they did it makes it even more impressive.
MrMind
where did you get these stats
AlbertoJohnAvil
how much firearm training do you have?
AlbertoJohnAvil
and "One in a million" is a phrase. mechanically, that's extremely hard to setup. Add in human error, and the fact that minimal finches at the trigger press can mean inches to feet differences on target... again, MAKES THIS EXTREMELY impressive. It ain't that simple.
StyleTime
If you just mean who can do it with a gun, then I'd guess high end marksmen characters. I'd guess high end marksmen mostly, since you'd have to line the gun up exactly with the opposing gun. They fired at the same time, so it's different from a reflex feat. I'm guessing Taskmaster's copy ability had something to do with that.
If you just want bullet time reflexes, then the list opens up a bit. Taskmaster himself has done better, although again, this feat was more about aiming/timing.
StyleTime
I read that as them shooting simultaneously. That's why the "BANG!" runs through both of their panels.

there are so many things he copied beyond just pulling the trigger at the same time.
we don't know if its same time. Call it splitting hairs but
- the ejected case is at different positions
- different barrel positions during cycling of the slide
- pictures draw one after another top down vs. Something like side by side or mirrored

I'm still waiting for alberto's expert explanation
AlbertoJohnAvil
it's just a saying to express the slim probability of this happening🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

damn, I thought you would've bust out some math equation to impress me

All of them, probably.

I think we'd be getting into artist error vs artist choice there. The "BANG!" looks like a deliberate attempt to establish some temporal continuity between the two panels, like they fired at the same time.
The ejected case could just be a mistake, or maybe they wanted to get the full case on panel instead of getting clipped by the border by going up. It's really the only thing out to place.
The top/down vs left/right ordering seems like another artistic choice though. It doesn't always mean the actions occur at different times, especially when the same sound effect runs through both of them. Maybe they just thought it was more visually interesting to have mirrored images stacked on top of each other.
Is your view that Taskmaster turned around, the cop fired, then Taskmaster fired at the airborne bullet?
DarkSaint85
Darkseid could.

either. Those are unknowns due to amount of assumptions I'd have to make either way.
DarkSaint85
So completely unquantifiable as we don't know what happened exactly there, just like with Orion.
This Feat is DeBuNKed, Period, And I don't want To Ever SeE it again
When I get back later I will post scaNS DEBUnking this.

tbh, that feat is virtually IMPOSSIBLE due to all the quantum and physical factors that play a role in bullet trajectory. One has to have NEXT powers ( some form of trial and error and reverse time and try again) to achieve this feat. The chances to do it by accident is insanely small.

Only James McAvoy, fully erect thanks to Angelina Jolie, was able to perform this feat in Wanted, as ilikecomics already mentioned.

Why did Taskmaster ignore the hands up and instead of don't shoot, shot?

Beats me.
He's never been a bloodthirsty villain and now he's arguably even less so, after the whole SHIELD agent reveal/retcon, afaik.

@Smurph, Saint
Yeah, it wasn't an accident, but he didn't need to consciously do anything, just rely on his photographic reflexes (and perhaps the limited short burst of super-speed, to make sure the security guy wouldn't fire first).
Nobody can really replicate that - at least not in the same fashion.
Well, maybe Cassandra and Shiva, if we assume their body-reading abilities are basically the same thing as Tasky's photo-reflexes "condition".

Didn't Tasky's alleged daughter Finesse have the same abilities? And I was pretty sure Echo had the same copying thing....

Indeed. Taskmaster was literally mimicking police moves in that scan. His photographic reflexes simply took over, he couldn't help it.

Yes and yes.
But they're not listed in the OP as the official contestants.

After the X-Men thread fiasco, I don't bother reading Albert's OPs anymore lol.

Yeah, it hasn't been that long since I've read it. 😠 Have you checked the new colorized ongoing?
Was thinking more about TV Rick. He shot Gareth's fingers off when he was like 30 feet away, in the middle of night, in a pitch black room AND first try. Lol
StiltmanFTW
Nope. How many issues were colorized so far?
Don't remember that... which season/episode?

It was in S5E9 iirc.

Ah, so they're just beginning yes? First trade, Moore's run? They haven't got to Adlard-era of TWD yet?
Thanks.
The show is still going, yes?

Yup, although I've stopped watching around season 8. This year's will be the last and it's going to have 24 or so episodes.

Why are people making this so complicated? Let me guess, because Alberto made the thread. He asked who could replicate the showing, not break down every bit of the showing. I'm guessing since people are dissecting the ft so much, they can't think of someone who can do it. Can someone make two bullets collide the way TM did? It's a simple question. Yay or nay.

What/ Slade and Deadshot had time to get set up and aim through their scopes. Tasky did it without a scope. Just eyeballed it.

No, it's because Alberto revealed he sees this feat in a fundamentally different way than most of the forum on the first page.
People did give suggestions though. The list in the OP doesn't feature marksmen for the most part, so it's natural people brought up folks from Wanted and such.
Out of the list, Deadshot has a remarkably similar feat, so I'd bank on him. Also, he's Deadshot so there's that. The rest probably not, although I think a writer could make them do it without seeming totally out of line.

Whats the similar feat? Trying to pin point accurately hit another bullet from a hand gun at such short notice is hard than a scope that does all but shoots the bullet for you.
Slade and Floyd had time to set up, drop their bipods, aim down their scopes and fire.
Taskmaster lined up his shot, mirrored aim, matched shooting angle and fired, all while turning from the hip to shoot one-handed.

Cassandra Cain.
Elektra.
Iron Fist.

I'm not talking the Slade/Deadshot meeting. Yes, they had tons of time to set that up.
I meant Deadshot alone. Similar situation. He shot the two cops in the hands before they fired, so it's not exactly the same though.
https://postimg.cc/hQF0xcVP
But he does stuff like shooting the seams of a bullet proof armor to bypass its defense in similar time frames.
https://postimg.cc/zHnFF6kw
And does silly trick shots while turned the other way.
https://postimg.cc/zySXYjxd
Just doesn't feel like a stretch for him to do this.
Other than that, yeah, Wesley from Wanted and other super-marksmen characters could do it. The list is larger if the person doesn't have to use a gun of course.
