Agreed. He's cut out for a guy like Bane. It takes a Cap/BP/Ironfist level fighter to counter Tasky's photo reflexes.
Originally posted by Blue Area Vetnot only that. He's got the skill of all of those master level fighters with the added agility of daredevil, spiderman, and tigre. He can also amp his speed if he chooses to.

Originally posted by -K-M-oh, he has a serious chance. Anybody that can give batman fits will have a solid chance against tony.
As per taskmaster himself he isn't much of a fighter. That's why he often runs in the middle of his fights.He also has loses to Puck, Moon Knight, Deadpool and others. He's good but you guys are making it like Bane has no chance which is untrue
But in forum fight, with both characters going all out, he's going to unload a volley of arrows to test bane's reflexes and once he sees how Bane moves, he'll adjust accordingly. Once Bane gets closer, he'll ready his sword and shield, block and dodge a few attacks while still counterattacking. Both characters will take some damage and then briefly break off the fight to catch their breath and think on their opponent's capabilities. Bane will have figured out that he needs stay in close quarters to keep Tony from shooting at him. When he begins to charge at him, tasky will begin to dance around him and unleash a torrent of blows (probably saying that he knows what bane's gonna do before he even does it). From this point on, it will be a very serious uphill battle for bane as Tony now knows all of his moves, and has the means to put Bane down.
Also, let's not pretend that Bane doesn't have any major losses (batman and killer croc).

No, I'm not sure why you are saying that. I didn't suggest Bane didn't have a chance at all. And the three you mentioned, there is no shame in losing to them. The thing is, Taskmaster is going to learn him because Bane doesn't have the skill, power or speed to take him out quickly. As the fight goes on, it favors Tasky.

No we don't. As per the forum rules CIS is still applied and how taskmaster reacts in majority of his battles is what we base it off of. As noted by him he isn't much of a fighter and often flees during fights when it gets tough. The rest of your post is what you think will happen so don't need to comment on
Killer croc there was circumstances with and no shame to batman in the least. My comment was directed at "It takes a Cap/BP/Ironfist level fighter to counter Tasky's photo reflexes" which isn't true

You made mention "It takes a Cap/BP/Ironfist level fighter to counter Tasky's photo reflexes" which isn't true
Actually under the rules longer fight is worse for tasky as he often flees if it goes to long or gets hard

Him "often fleeing" had nothing whatsoever to do with his ability to actually fight and everything to do with the fact that he is a mercenary who plans on living for another day. And yes, I stand by what I said. You have to have some sort of angle to beat Taskmaster one on one- be and elite fighter, have an unconventional style, be completely unpredictable, have meta human speed and/or a healing factor, etc.

It 100% has everything to do with his abilities. He has this skills but as he makes mention many times he is not much of a fighter. That's why he predominantly trains people. This falls into CIS which is part of the forum rules
I don't agree as people have gotten the better of him without those listed. Even Black Widow.

Dude, first of all, if he flees, the fight is inconclusive. Second of all, saying he is not much of a fighter is simply your opinion, nothing more. This is pretty much bullshit because the only reason he is a character is because of the fighter he is. HTF could he trian people to fight if he couldn't fight himself? Would you pay him to train you? Hilarious.

Incorrect. That's what HE says, not me...not once, but multiple times in his appearances. So in the end your choosing to ignore his on-panel statements and his showings where he flees when fights go long or tough. Your choice. It's wrong, but your choice.
Yes. Look at coaches for professional sports. They don't have the same capabilities as the athletes but they understand the game and can train them. He trains people by mimicking other people's fighting styles. Even mma fighters hire people to mimic their opponents in a fight even though that's not their regular fighting style. He can fight sure, but as he says he isn't much of a fighter (his words)

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm supposed to take your word for it? Scans or your claim means nothing and not just scans, scans that proves he leaves specifically because he is overmatched as a fighter.
If you read the character and not his power/abilities section on Wikipedia you would know this already. Be honest how much of the character have you read? He runs from most of his fights
Sure I'll get scans, but sounds like even if I post you will ignore them. I'm at work but I'll get the scans either sometime today or tomorrow
But let's see some scans from YOu as well to back your argument
I'd say this a pretty good fight.
The thing with Taskmaster sometimes saying he's 'not much of a fighter' is there are other times where he's been happy to/enjoyed fighting and has been incredibly skilled and deadly. For every poorer showing he has he has stuff like easily beating The Cat or
As for the Moon Knight fight, it was hardly skill that Moon Knight won with; he crashed his jet into the room where Taskmaster was standing then attacked him as he was stuck on the ground.
I'd probably give this to Taskmaster more times than not, but it's in no way an easy fight and if Bane gets hold of him it's far more likely to end badly for Taskmaster.
Also what is Taskmaster armed with? His standard equipment changes pretty much every time he shows up.

What is Banes Standard Equipment? Just wondering
I think Taskmaster carries a bow, arrows, sword and shield..
Not sure about a gun, but if he does carry one he wont have one here..
