Black Widow: Everything You Need To Know About Taskmaster
6. His Reflexes Are Unequalled
Superheroes have to stay in top shape with gruelling workouts and intense sparring sessions. Taskmaster, on the other hand, trains...by watching television. After watching a few Bruce Lee movies or doing a Jackie Chan marathon, Taskmaster will be almost unstoppable.
If Taskmaster knows he is going up against Daredevil, he will watch recordings of the superhero fighting so he can learn from his skill-set. But he doesn't just watch the recordings... he watches them... on fast-forward. This allows him to perform the same action at double-speed. Although he can only perform this feat for several minutes at a time, that's all he needs to defeat even his most daunting foes.
Once he has adapted to his opponent's fighting style, he knows what they are going to do before they do. This allows him to deflect or catch projectile weapons like knives and swords with ease. In Taskmaster #4, he showed that he can catch a bullet fired at him with his bare hands.
Because of this talent, even the most agile and acrobatic superheroes like Daredevil and Spider-Man struggle with battling Taskmaster.
