Bane has faced high metas before. Same as Tasky. Bane is just too strong and durable to lose.

Your point is? Bane's been tagged by nameless thugs before while Taskmaster has made a living off of teaching several of the best street level characters in Marvel and beating up metahumans. I WONnt Rgue over Bane's clearly superior strenght and durability but I truly do believe that Taskmaster has a significant skill and speed advantage.

That's assuming that he has the skill (he doesn't) or the speed (he doesn't) to match taskmaster's mish mash of several of the best fighters in the world. As the fight goes on, Taskmaster will also learn all of Bane's move and will quickly figure out how to counter them, then, it' just a matter of time before Tony cuts off his supply of venom.

Bane has strength and durability over TM.
Taskmaster has skill and speed advantage.
In a h2h I think Bane would win a majority by tanking everything and eventually overpowering TM.
With weapons TM's high tech weapons would give him the majority.
Originally posted by abhilegendPretty much what DarkSaint said. DP is impossible to predict and that handicaps Taskmaster. And it's not just him, other characters even telepaths have had trouble reading and predicting his moves. Mr. X who specializes on reading and predicting peoples moves couldn't do it with DP.
Why not deadpool? Because only DC MAers have low showings, right?
Besides minus his CIS Deadpool has either stalemated or beaten Marvel's top MAs so losing to him is hardly a low showing.

And what about Taskmaster's legendary skill which makes him able to go toe to toe with 2 caps when he fights deadpool or Daredevil? What's he going to do against Bane? Copy his moves while Bane rends him limb from limb?
basically people are misleaded by preety pictures. current bane was tagged by prisoners who stubbed him and he was tagged many times by killer croc. taskmaster is way faster and more skilled than him. question is can he take bane out? answer is yes and easily. taskmaster is a match for the likes of cap, taskmaster is a match for metas and low super humans. whats so special about banes damage soak? everything he took could be easily acomplished by punisher. its just that the brutal and bad ass nature he was portrayed in the comics fools people and makes them see him as more powerful. while taskmaster has more goofy cartoonish feel he is a tier above bane in everything besides maybe strength. if taskmaster can put damage on cap and spidy he beats the hell out of bane who is basically what? a more brutal DC version of crossbones.

He also has a lower damage threshold, which isn't purely physical (although it helps).
Tasky is a coward, who doesn't have the stomach for a fight. When his targets fight back, and are serious, he's screwed mentally.
Bane is, like you said, Punisher-like, and this goes for his mentality as well. Tag Bane once, twice, three, even ten times.....if he still lives, he will still come after you. You gave the example of getting tagged by Croc, who deals out more damage and is stronger than Tasky. Bane still broke him.
Tag Tasky a few times, and the fight's left him.
