Taskmaster Revamped Respect Thread

New respect thread for The Taskmaster, due to the lack of organisation/feats in the old one.

Going to be posting in a specific order, so would ask if people wouldn't post please until I'm finished (I'll say when)

This is my first try at making a respect thread, so sorry if I make any errors.

I'll be splitting the thread into the following sections-

- Backstory/Ability Explaination
- Strength
- Durability
- Agility & Speed
- Combat Skill
- Ranged Skill
- Miscellaneous Skills
- Tech/Gadgets
- Fights

Enjoy...

Okay, on with the show.
