Taskmaster has standard gear, and weapons: sword, shield, arrows, and cane. Can he make it through the gauntlet? If not where does he stop, and why? After each fight he is completely rejuvenated, and all of his gear, and weapons are replaced. All foes have standard gear, and neither Taskmaster, or his enemies are prepped for the fight. Fight takes place in an abandoned town, so no one has to worry about casualties.

1. Bullseye
2. Punisher
3. Moon Knight
4. Batman
5. Daredevil
6. Black Panther
7. Captain America (Bucky)
8. Captain America (Rogers)
9. Spider-man
10. Deathstroke
11. Daken
12. Iron Fist

I think Taskmaster could beat this gauntlet, and all of the opponents that he beats along the way would just add to his skill, so it would be easier to beat tougher opponents. His toughest opponent, in my opinion, would be Iron Fist, but even though he can't replicate Danny's chi powers he would know every move he could make, and could counter with a killing blow.

Batman.

You think he stops at Batman? Why?

He's the mother f***ing Batman.

how does he counter a hellicarrier busting Chi strike? How does he counter Daken's pheromones?

Taskmaster isn't some untouchable beast he phases through enemy attacks and one shots every foe he faces so to think he would do that to Iron Fist is laughable.

Iron Fist is very skilled, skilled to the point that Taskmaster would actually have to fight not be like oh i know some of your mvoes so u cant touch me. He hits hard enough to punch through him or his weapons, fast enough to dodge projectiles, has his own ranged attacks, and isn't about to get one shotted by any hand to hand attack.

Iron Would beat Task master almost everytime, when he doesn't it's lucky weapon strikes but never in hand to hand.

So what would happen if Danny waited for Taskmaster to attack him?

He'd block, dodge or dounter. And strike back if Taskmaster did anything but dodge it wouldn't go well, seeing that he could be broken if he blocks.

stops at spiderman, since neither are prep'd for the encounter, i don't think were gonna see an unprep'd street leveller gear or no take spidey in a random encounter. On a forum no less, lol.

Except for one having pheremones, and the other being better then him in every physical way, and has other super pwoers. Unless you think Taskmaster is untouchable and never has to block or even attaempt to parry thinking he walks over Iron Fist is laughable.

If Iron Fist can get tagged by Deadpool he can get tagged by Taskmaster. For someone complaining about how people are making Task sound like some "untouchable beast" you sure are making Iron Fist sound like one. I'm not saying that the fight wouldn't be close, but Task is a highly skilled fighter himself, and he would know every attack that IF could throw at him.

No i never said Iron Fist is untouchable just that Taskmaster sure as hell isn't gonna one shot kill him. Iron Fist ahs had an upgrade since the deadpool fight and even then it's not like deadpool was actual effective. Knowing Iron Fist's style doesnt mean u'll win against him, the fact that you still have to physicall fight a guy who is stronger, faster, more durable and atleast equal skill wise makes it very hard to believe he will win. Couple with the fact that Iron Fist can break his weaponry with one shot, and attack at a range effectively.

If he even blocked an attack a limb could be broken

Everytime we have debated this fight you never account for the difference in damage output in close quarters.

Not to mention the fact that Danny has more then one Style. I've seen him effectively transition between multiple styles of Earth MA during combat to take out an opponent.

Also I think it's kinda lame when an OP makes a thread but already has a predetermined outcome in mind.

Tasky is not going to clear this, at least it's incredibly unlikely going by Current Iron Fist. Chi based superhuman stats, class 100 punches and other energy manipulation based on chi means Tasky would have major problems.

And unless he takes out Daken in seconds the pheramones are going to become a problem :/

Makes it to 6 at best

I do not have a "predetermined outcome" I said that fights would be close, and I think he could pull out wins on Iron Fist. I wanted to see what other people's opinions were, so yeah I didn't post this thread just to argue.

What happens when he tries to hit Danny and Danny counters with a hit of his own? How does he beat Daken?

He could beat Daken with a decapitation, or through other dismemberments. He doesn't have the unbreakable skeleton that Wolverine has.

True. But Daken's got pheromones. He sometimes forgets about it because of PIS but he'd definitely use them in a forum fight.

What exactly do the pheromones do? I know they can make people of both sexes attracted to him lol, but other than that I don't really know. Don't they mess with your other emotions too?

Deathstroke and Daken are going to be very tough. Tasky could make it past them, on a good day at least, but stops at Iron Fist.

Yeah he can do that which imo is the best use of them lol But he also can perform this vanishing act. It works like this - one moment you see him, the next moment he's standing in a whole different place and you find out that you've been stabbed three times already. With that kind ability he shouldnt lose as often as he does.

Taskmaster at the most makes it to Spider-man, and is beaten.

Almost the entire thing everyone 4-12 can beat him his powers are purely hypothetical seeing as his comic performances contradict them.I would also give bullseye the nod.

As for Batman, Bullseye, Daredevil, Captain America, (Bucky) Captain America (Rogers) beating him.. He's fought both Captain Americas at the same time recently and Id say was pretty much winning. He never fought Bullseye but bitchslapped him once. Daredevil, Batman.. i dont see them doing any better than Steve.

No he really doesn't have better feats than most of them.Haven't seen the siege fight in a while can't remember what happened but ill find it.How does him slapping bullseye mean he could beat bullseye? I see them beating him.

Just looked at the siege fight he fought both of them for maybe 2-3 panels before buckey took over and he wasn't winning and buckey wasn't even near them while they were fighting close proximity.

He was definitely doing better against both of them (disarmed bucky while punching Cap in the face) and only got hit when he looked away.
What makes you think that Bullseye is gonna beat him if TM can do anything BE can plus more? No PIS CIS id give him a definite win over Cap, dont see how its funny looking at the fight. TM can read him like an open book.

Cap has jumped infront of a bullet and blocked it, Electra has caught a bullet with her bare hand,DD has batted a bullet into a mans forehead.he was doing good but not winning to state he was winning means he would have had to have had them on the ropes which he did not imo hitting one person with your shield and throwing a sword at another is not that hard when you are perfectly positioned to do it especially when you have the speed to implement it.He can't do everything bullseye can do because his powers are photographic reflexes which means he would have to see it done first and he could very well die before that.sure he would win no PIS,CIS but that's not what this is(Is it?) he doesn't read people he see's them accomplish something then duplicates it.

Except Taskmaster has observed pretty much every martial artist around. He's already got Bullseye's aim, and is a better MA than Bullseye. So he goes into fights already knowing everything. What your saying would be true if he went into every fight with a blank slate, but that's not he case.

Jumping in front of a bullet isnt nearly as impressive tbh and ive see that feat. Elektra is actually the only one who has comparable to TM feats. Once he copies someone's fighting style he cant be cought off guard and can read this opponent knowing his every move, he doesnt simply "copy" attacks, he learns enitre fighting styles by watching people fight. He can fight like DD with his eyes closed, like Cap etc. How can you give Bullseye the win over him when TM got fighting skills of both DD and Cap?

He may have as good of aim with weapons such as guns or knives but he doesn't have bullseye's ability to turn normal items into weapons which i believe wins him the fight.

I don't give him the win because of fighting skills i give it to him because he turn turn normal objects into weapons.Jumping infront of a bullet that has already been fired isn't nearly as impressive? i Disagree. Just because he can fight like cap doesn't mean he can beat DD because he isn't caps physical peer.So all of a sudden someone can't change there own fighting style to accommodate?

I dont see Bullseye matching him h2h as for his projectiles, TM got Spider-man's agility (he duplicated it) he can easilly dodge those. If he can hold his own against armed Bucky and Cap at the same time with ease and do so well I dont see a reason why he cant beat one of them. Notice how he only got hit when he looked away, that's because he could predict all Cap's moves.

Taskmaster's first appearance had him predicting Cap's moves and trouncing him whilst fighting Iron Man at the same time.

So comics show that he can predict Cap's moves.

Except Taskmaster has worked out how Cap fights using Cap's whole repatoire. This cna be seen in the way that he broke down Cap's unique style (utilising the number of MA's Cap knows) into a bunch of kata's so he could teach USAgent how to fight like Cap.

That's the whole point of changing his style so he in not predictable. And Iron fist described Caps style as being basic but brutal so it shouldn't be hard to change.

"How does he have SM's agility he would have to be superhuman to have SM's agility and it makes no sense according to what his power is.Where do you keep getting this "Held his own" crap it wasn't even a real fight The only one on the offensive Was TM it only lasted all of 1 1/2 pages after cap gut shotted him he went to find Osbourne Rogers wasn't even looking for that fight if anything he was distracted in it.He isn't Mr.x he doesn't predict moves Cap knows every fighting style on earth and your telling me from watching him somewhere TM immediately knows everything Cap knows BS."

Except changing style never helped or Cap would've figured that out years ago, TM still predicts his every move. He's done the same thing with Spider-man, Deadpool and others. And he does have Spider-man's agility, he copied it. It has been mentioned several times on panel and used by TM in various situations. How was it not a real fight? They fought, Bucky tried to shoot Taskmaster while he was fighting Steve, TM punched Steve in the face, blocked the bullets and disarmed Bucky and later punched Bucky in the face even though Bucky attacked him from behind. Sounds like "holding his own" to me.

Apparently Cap didn't think changing style was necessary seeing as he didn't even know who TM was.To have spider-man level agility he would have to have reflexes/speed 5-10 times that of a human last time i checked he didn't only thing i saw that even resembles what you were talking about was his short bursts of superspeed.No TM tried to jump steve then bucky fired at him he blocked then came at steve with the sword while simultaneously blocking bullets from bucky then went on the offensive throwing the sword then got kneed in the stomach then steve walked away that doesn't sound like much of a fight to me.

He faced TM many times and knew exactly who he was, he was simply messing with him when he said "I dont know who you are" Noth that changing style ever helped anyone else.
We both know comicbook "humans" can perform almost superhuman feats and Taskmaster has succesfuly copyed Spider-man agility, Spider-man himself confirmed that. TM was even capable of duplicating other MA attacks but with greater speed after watching them in fastforward mode on tape. The guy is fast enough to easilly dodge anything Bullseye throws at him. So Bullseye loses the only advantage he has in the fight. TM has him beat in pretty much everything else. Daken, Spider-man, BP (with right equipment) and maybe IF are the only people on the list that I see take majority over TM.

In the Initiative tie-in he told Bucky what Tasky can do.

Okay. Second Scenario for those of you who think Taskmaster can't beat the gauntlet. This should even the fights a little more.

Second Scenario:

Taskmaster Gauntlet

Taskmaster has standard gear, and weapons: sword, shield, arrows, and cane. Can he make it through the gauntlet? If not where does he stop, and why? After each fight he is completely rejuvenated, and all of his gear, and weapons are replaced. All foes have standard gear, and neither Taskmaster, or his enemies are prepped for the fight. Fight takes place in an abandoned town, so no one has to worry about casualties. Taskmaster also gets to keep the weapons of his fallen foes as he progresses through the gauntlet.

1. Bullseye
2. Punisher
3. Moon Knight
4. Batman
5. Daredevil
6. Black Panther (Costume, and Black Knight Sword)
7. Captain America (Bucky)
8. Captain America (Rogers)
9. Spider-man
10. Deathstroke
11. Daken
12. Iron Fist

Oops, and I meant to revise the gauntlet order.

New Order:

1. Bullseye
2. Punisher
3. Moon Knight
4. Batman
5. Daredevil
6. Captain America (Bucky)
7. Captain America (Rogers)
8. Black Panther (Costume, and Ebony Blade)
9. Spider-man
10. Deathstroke
11. Daken
12. Iron Fist

Doesn't Moon Knight have a carbonadium suite?

Stops at Bullseye. Why? Two words: starting distance

Originally posted by Parmaniac

Yep. It's quite impressive.

Taskmaster has Bullseye's skills, and can predict what he can do. Plus he has a shield, and limited bullet time skills. He would destroy Bullseye. Whatever Bullseye can do with that starting distance Taskmaster could do with the same precision, and accuracy...plus he has the advantage of knowing all of Bullseye's moves.
