Prometheus versus Taskmaster.

I remember Prometheus as the criminal mastermind who developed a computer that was connected to his helmet that after seeing anybody fight could emulate thier fighting abilities exactly.

Taskmaster has that as an innate ability.

Prometheus is also hella badass, managed to out manuever the entire JLA and has a cool club.

Taskmaster has the weapon likeness of several avengers and is amazingly cool.

Let's assume for this battle Prometheus was smart enough to wear a cup. Who wins? 😛

I've lost ALL respect for Prometheus after his low showings. But Morrison Prometheus would be a very good fight.

I don't know much about Taskmaster, so I'll say Prometheus. Anyone who can take down the JLA single-handed is not someone you want to mess with.

Thing is Taskmaster copies the moves of anyone he's seen. So doesn't that mean his moves will be predictable? For example, Captain America would say "I know this pattern", anticipate his moves and WHAM, Taskmaster down.

Prometheus may have the same problem, unless his computerised helmet has some sort of combat algorithms installed to make his moves less predictable.

Taskmaster knows thousands of different styles and doesn't just pick out one to use. I doubt there would be any pattern to pick up.

With that said, Anyone who can take the the JLA single-handedly is not someone you want to mess with. 🙂

task wins becuse he knows thousands of fighting styles and he can switch for one to the other so as soon as he figues out a pattern he just switches to another there for prometheus will lose

Taskmaster wins.

Taskmaster's more recent appearances have shown that he has developed the ability to move at 2x peak human speeds

i'll side with him over Prometheus

Taskmaster more often than not.

Hmmmmm i wonder if taskmaster could copy supes power of flight (since it's supposedly his pure force of will allowing him to do it)

What I meant was that Taskmaster doesn't really learn skills does he? He just copies what he's observed. For example, let's say he watches some video footage of Captain America fighting. He can then copy that, but (if I understand correctly) he can only do the moves he's seen on the tape and in the same sequence as he observed them. It would be the same with anyone else, he could only repeat whatever sequence of moves he had seen.

That's what I meant by his moves being predictable. He doesn't have the same kind of understanding as someone who has really studied particular fighting styles.

Not ture Taskmaster leawrns their fighting style almost immediately. So in a sense yes he has to throw the punch the exact same way Captain America threw it but that doesn't mean he has to follow it with an attack Cap then used he can just as easily witch to the Swordsman, or Wolverinve, or anyone from move to move to move.

Taskmaster has swapped between fighting styles in the middle of fighting, meaning he's not predictable at all, as he can swap between over 2 dozen different hero's/villains and swap between nearly every armed and unarmed fighting style.

And as Scoob said, he could just double speed and shoot Prom in the face.
