Pretty much one of the reasons I quite dislike this new origin, it just doesn't seem that well thought out...especially considering times we've seen Tasky running his business etc in the past..
Personally I like to think that his new origin and old one could work simultaneously, as his new one really takes away a big essense of the character - He chooses to be a bad guy because it's the easy and profitable thing to do- The whole org thing takes away the whole choice thing and leaves him borderline dysfuntional in any situation that isn't in combat...
But you've reminded me that I have to add the feats from his mini soon, I've got them all on file just need to upload...

Same reason I forget people I went to high school with but know who Wesley Snipes is? Because he is famous. 😎
Origin/Explanation
In his new mini we're given a new origin for Tasky-
Going by this origin, Tasky was already one of the best agents in SHIELD before, but considering we've had his original origin told in detail in three different sources, and considering the continuity problems this one throws up, it's a bit iffy but oh well...
Context needed here- In the mini it's revealed that by abosrbing skills he eventually rewrote the memory's of his entire life- his earliest memory is fighting Elektra in a diner somewhere (sadly we never got to see this fight), but here it's revealed that the life memory's aren't actually erased, just blocked out. Again, very much contrasts with what was said in his first mini, that unlike most people he can remember every moment of his life in detail, but again, oh well...
Due to memory loss is perfect at faking recognition etc-
Recognises a Hydra agent whilst in a conversation looking in the other direction-
Fights
Fights and kills Redshirt, whose powers and fighting style are explained in the scans-
Now that is a pretty impressive fight and showing for Tasky's absorbtion powers, as RS's fighting style required an enhanced skeleton and areas of his brain put in use via torture, yet Tasky still picks it up within minutes (and it's made clear he could have earlier but didn't want to 'erase' his wife) and he displayed the ability to blitz using all of his (which by now must be a huge number) of fighting styles, so that even though RS had prepped for years to fight Tasky, he couldn't counter this blitz.
Fun game- Try to pick out the body parts shown in the blitz belong to xD
At a glance I got Elektra, Shangchi, Spidey, Blazing Skull and Cap.
And now we're done with feats from the latest mini 😄
Okay updates from the last few months:
Strength
Pins Deadpool through a wall with his sword
Durability
Takes an arrow through the shoulder from Hawkeye and still managed to have a full motorcycle chase where he's dodging more arrows from him.
Still conscious and active after being shot, bombed, falling through the floor and slammed into a concrete wall.
Misc
Stealthy enough to avoid the motion sensors Fury Jr and Coulson set up
