How about a competition of some of the best acrobats in the comics. An Olympic style competition the parallel bars, the uneven bars, the rings, floor event, and the balance beam.
Here is a list of competitors feel free to add if necessary
who takes the gold medal
Spider-man
Captain America
Daredevil
Beast
Blackcat
Wolverine
Elektra
Batman
Nightwing
Deadpool
Taskmaster is awesome, but Nightcrawler has non-human features
which give him an acrobatic edge. Tail. Hands. Feet.
Taskmaster, freaking awesome as he is, is still human. No powers.
Nightcrawler might impress them with some tail action on the bars....but no, Spidey still wins, Beast still comes in second. Logan cuts the bars just enough that Batman (in bat-leotard....lol) smacks the floor just into his routine. Wolverine laughs....Bats makes him eat a hand grenade, and it gives Logan some bad gas.
no way dude.
nightcrawler is NOT as agile as spidey or beast.
they have superhuman strength, agility, dexterity, etc.
nightcrawler does not....only superhuman features, not powers.
taskmaster can watch in fast motion and replicate, but that takes
an enormous toll on his human body. he wouldn't last too long if
he did that.
TM doesn't have to go full speed.......... it's Olympic gymnastics, not a fight..... Spidey and beast are very agile but they don't hold their form or keep their bodies alligned during their movements..... they will lose a lot of points for that
Taskmaster can watch videos of the greatest Olympic gymnasts ever...... he'll easily score the highest out of these guys
Agile is defined as;
"Characterized by quickness, lightness, and ease of movement; nimble."
Nightcrawlers body structure allows him to be more agile than any other contestant. Yes, spidey and beast can do bigger moves in the air, but those are consistantly considered less difficult than transfers and the form of dismounts. (In regards to the bars)
Floor event is characterized not by how big you go (Yes thats important) but also form and style, being able to perform every single maneuver on your hands, and to twist your body in the ways nightcrawler can will give him a good edge here, although beast will also excel in this.
Rings require strength, yes, but nothing nightcrawler doesnt have, and the fact that he can do the rings with his feet will definitly look good.
Balance beam is built for NC and Beast, both can manipulate their limbs with more experience and skill than spidey, who is no slouch here.
The only reason why TM can't beat NC, is because he can't do everything NC can because of the build of his body.
that's irrelevant, the Olympic scoring system is built around human abilities..... TM can flawlessly perform anything he has ever seen.... and he'd prep for this by watching tapes of all the greaest gymnasts.... even NC and Spidey occasionaly lose balance, they compensate immediately of course, but niether of them are prepped for Olympic scoring systems
Scoring is based on what is seen, not what is basis for humans. Your telling me everytime somebody goes beyond what people thought was possible they don't get a perfect score? Then the bar is set higher, and everyone has to use that level of skill because that has become the norm for competetion. Look at the floor event, back when gymnastics first started up single flips with any sort of rotation were amazing, now we get doubles with lots of spins.
No, I don't watch gymnastics, my mom and cousins are big into it though.
