Task Master is so cool. One of my favourite marvel villains. He needs a movie appearance.
He probably will in the rumored Hawkeye Netflix series
he needs his own movie
+ChiefLuxio or in Antman 2 since he is Scott Lang's archenemy ;-)
He's a villain? But I saw him fight other bad guys is he a mercenaries or something
Unknown 210 he is an antihero. A mercenary. He fights for those who pays.
the original copy-and-paster
+Sherlock Holmes this deserves a billion likes
+Sherlock No shit Sherlock
Seems like Melania Trump copied Tasky as well
Deadpool good you are not a copycat of Spiderman and Deathstroke
Agreed
For anyone that wonders, "How the fuck does someone like Taskmaster get demolished by Deadpool" well it is because Deadpool is very spontaneous, he has no fighting style or patterns. There is literally no predicting his attacks.
and can't die
He's also getting a movie
uberdude102 i mean deadpool also does random moves from other people or movies you know.
Which makes DeadPool even cooler in the Marvel world
same for wolverine
even wolverine doesn't know his own move before it happens
Taskmaster is one of my favorite comic characters, not just for his powers but for the conditions and consequences behind them. He's not just a two-bit villain out for himself, there's a lot more to him. I still remember the conversation he had with his "daughter"
"I got this...memory thing. I pick up anyone's moves just by seein' 'em. That's a lotta data. More'n my brain's got room for, I guess. So I...forget things. Things that ain't about combat, about survival. People, places... I can't remember what I did last week. By Monday, I probably won't remember this conversation. I wanted ta fight you 'cause... I thought if I remembered your moves, I might remember you."
That event in that comic series spoke volumes to me. He isnt some "I love you" dad he is more of "let me remember you" dad. That lead me to be curious for there to be the chance of Taskmaster getting his own series where plenty of events show up from his past. I can just think of ways of how he may have pissed of Villains or Heroes. I at least want a comic where it shows him as a Dad to Finesse when both couldnt remember.
I've been a fan of Taskmaster even since the 2002 comic series. To me had this roped templar look and his ability isn't some gimmick. He can do the moves but not the ability. I love how he spent the time to make his own web slingers and Hawkeye bow. Though I do wish Taskmaster did more to give him an edge and even blend his attacks. Like he could do some sore of fake out attack. He pretend to move like Spiderman but instead use the rope like Ghost Rider and it has a shock effect with the whip. There is so much I want to see him do.
The SureFire Gamer what's the comic where he talks to his daughter ?

Breaking news: taskmaster will be main villain of upcoming mcu movie black widow. 🖤💀
Wats it called?!
tasky is too strong for black widow,maybe he gets some help from her allies
i invented lust bitch no one is too strong for Taskmaster. It’s not about strength it’s about how smart you are. Think about it, Taskmaster has the ability to predict every move someone does, so just do the unpredictable
We want Task master as Scott Adkins
First of all that’s just some bullshit from a marvel expert
First Ghost, now my boy.
Taskmaster, the original user of the Sharingan before it went mainstream. :P
Before it got stupid.
+Ichigo1423jfk before it became a plot device.
123456789 987654321 Omg don't fucken remind me. Naruto has literally become a failed DBZ.
+zaberfang Lol so true!
+zaberfang I couldn't agree anymore with not just yours but everyone else's comment.
Taskmaster was supposed to be one of the best but Disney said “nope not today”
All I gotta say is Fuck you mcu/Disney for ruined taskmaster and turning him to a female because we all know his a male and agian fuck you mcu
Fun fact: Deadpool is the only one his powers don't work on because Deadpool's moves are TOO unpredictable. Plus in some versions of taskmaster it's a psychic link that allows him to get their moves, and Deadpool's immune to telepathy so...
+Kate Speaks thats not true, in fact Taskmaster beat hiim once, but deadpool was like ,,healing powers, im such a cool character"" and then he beat Taskmaster
Fun fact: there are more characters that his abilities don't work on than just Deadpool.
+MeandMonkeyLP
Deadpool and Taskmaster have fought several times, and every time to my knowledge Deadpool has won. He once defeated Master with his hands and feet bound. There are several reasons for this, one being the healing factor, another being his very spontaneous and unpredictable fighting style which basically counter's Taskmaster.

+Kate Speaks have you read deadpool kills the marvel universe? they fought in that one too. it was a pretty sweet fight. of course, deadpool won in that one.
He had lot of potential...hope they make a tony masters adaptation of the character in the MCU
I mean the "taskmaster" in black widow was never called taskmaster was she?? They could still debut the actual taskmaster
@@Zanoladab in the trailer they did
I didnt watch the movie but i would guess they did crown him mcu taskmaster
Well they screwed that up
Taskmaster is one of my favorite comic book characters. But he isn't a villain. He's an anti-hero, he works with the Secret Avengers now.
Also, I hated how he was represented in Marvel's Ultimate Spider-man (Disney XD). He's not afraid of Deadpool. He beated Deadpool several times, but he has stated that he's a real challenge. They are friends now, they used to be enemies but not anymore.
I would just call them rivals at this point. I would pay money for a buddy series of the two.
Lol are you sure you're reading dp or taskmaster's comic? Tasky never defeated deadpool
DeadCry He did, He "killed" Deadpool a lot of times. But Deadpool can't die, that's why he's still alive after fighting Taskmaster.
Alan Ortiz Deadpool allows people to "kill" him, If he was in any real threat he'd actually give a shit.
Alan Ortiz well deadpool doesnt give any fucks really... btw sorry for late reply

Task master is so underrated!
He is until he fights Deadpool...
He's still awesome though. Like fighting fire with fire!
Deathpool_04 Either way Moon Knight has beat the living shit out of both of them.
Kaine Parker Ppl say Deadpool would beat Moon Knight. Moon Knight doesn't really beat him. He has immense difficulty in beating him but Moon Knight is awesome and is really underrated.
Deathpool_04 He does beat him in the comic he literally realizes Deadpool has a healing factor so he just smiles takes Deadpools Katana and cuts him to pieces, he's beaten him but if it was to the death Deadpool would win because he just can't die
Kaine Parker Isnt deadpool more skilled than Moon Knight? And if he did do that, the fight wouldn't really be over. Also it depends on how serious Deadpool is throughout the fight.
YO, why Disney ruin The Taskmaster the way they did?
They gone woke
@@blackclover20 they gone very very stupid
I honestly would've gone for the PS4 version.

I want taskmaster in a movie so bad either a deadpool or avengers one
+Corey Bloxham or in Antman 2 since he is Scott Lang's archenemy ;-)
Didn't know that

That's cool
Taskmaster's power is useless against Deadpool and he would just get owned like it was nothing though . . .
Are you disappointed in Taskmaster in Black Widow 2021?
Do you have to ask
They fucked up, bad
Obviously
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yes I'm disappointed you know what matter of fact I'm mad as motherfucker
People read "Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe" and suddenly they're experts
+Honest Red lol I know right
You mad bro?
Nope, just correct.
I have that next to my bed, it's on the end of the shelf next to infinity #1 8)
+Honest Red overrated copy of deathstroke,kids favorit clown,i read that comics and it was like created by 4 years old kid
I'm so mad what they did with it in black widow u will see it basically not taskmaster
Came here after learning that Taskmaster will be the main villain for the upcoming Black Widow movie. 😁😁😀😍

Good Job WatchMojo! I've been waiting for this one. was wondering how you guys would go about the revised origin from 2011. But hey! You guys forgot to mention me I suggested it too. :(
Supervillian Origins: Toxin.
wow, I forgot I suggested this LOL
Hybrid Phoenix
Toxin wasn't a supervillain...
AND OF COURSE DISNEY GENDERBENDS HIM.
And identity-swapped
I don't care about the gender i just want taskmaster with a villainess lore not to be brainwash
they also did the same with The Ghost in Ant-Man 2.
@@Oropher420 dont forget flag smasher too
@@bullymaguire321 Holy shit. Just had to search up because I thought Flag Smasher was MCU original, all they did was change the from Karl to Karli, very creative Marvel Studios.

In Black Widow he was Wokemaster
It was incredibly sad.

We were robbed
Yep the movie sucked too..... extremely disappointed
Who's here after the Black Window trailer??

Here after the third and final trailer.
Taskmaster was done dirty in Black Widow
I prefer task master's original design than any redesigned version the media creates to make him look less "goofy." You know .The hood, skull face mask, the shield, sword, or what ever. They need stick to that formula.
I personally feel like that's what makes him less noticeable. His look doesn't convey his powers at all. Iron man has a metal suit, The Hulk is muscular, wolverine has animal claws, Task Master has?
The Uchiha Clan learn from Taskmaster
LMFAO
exactly.
leave this thread Onizuka
@@malcolmbradford195 no not gonna happen
How is this a Taskmaster origins video but it's smothered in Deadpool comments??
Because no matter how many times he observes Deadpool. He is too unpredictable. So much he cannot beat him
+ChiefLuxio
okay I understand that.... But what that have to do with Taskmaster's origin.
It's like having a video about Batman's origin & people all in the comments goin on about how Bane broke his back all thru the comments. What that have to do with the origin?
+Supa Saul he's been confirmed as one of the villians in Deadpool 2 so it's topical.
Sterling Gentile wrong lol
@@Sg-mo6el This aged poorly
Taskmaster is one of my favorite villain of all time!he's F*CKING AWSOME
LJ Soriano
I liked the fact that Taskmaster could increase hes speed in combat by watching fighting videos in fast forward.I wish he would have gotten a buff,to make him more menacing.I think it would have been awesome for him to get a healing factor the same way Deadpool did.I think it would have been a good addition to hes power set.If he would have healing powers he can do things such as exerting hes muscles to the point of breaking and hes healing factor would just repair all the damage done,this way greatly improveing his fighting capabilities.
I LOVE Taskmaster. He is one of the most underrated Marvel villains and needs to be used more.
Careful what you wish for
Look what they did to my boy!
I've been seeing a lot of comments saying "he can't beat deadpool because he randum". Oh you people are so wrong. In the Death of Captain America story arc Taskmaster was given the job by the government to train the new Captain to fight like Steve, if he did that he would receive a pardon. Taskmaster did as he was told and was thrown in prison anyways.
While he was stuck in prison Deadpool was paid to break Taskmaster out and kill him, the two had fought. Taskmaster had Deadpool beat, but due to Deadpool's healing factor he was able to get back up and beat Taskmaster. Deadpool "failed" his mission when he didn't kill Tasky. While Deadpool beat him, it was ONLY due to his healing factor. Taskmaster is the better fighter of the two, he has no super powers to back up his skill.
+Drew Molina I think people are referring to the fact Taskmaster can't copy Deadpool, he had to rely on already known skills in order to fight Deadpool. Granted yes Deadpool is one of the few who have beaten him I will admit it wasn't solely because he has no predictability to his movements.
MeadX26 But why even use the fact he can't copy Deadpool as the reason he can't win? We both know Tasky well enough that he doesn't have to rely on his ability to copy somebody to beat them.
What they should be saying is he can't beat Deadpool because of his healing factor, not because he's unpredictable.
Drew Molina
I think its due to the wording in their fight. Task seemed unsettled because he couldn't predict his moves so in turn people think that's why he ultimately lost, sure it played a factor but DPs healing factor is virtually unbeatable.
However if we look at when Task and DP fought in Deadpool kills the marvel universe the reason Task was killed is because of the fear that took over his mind due partially to him not being able to read DPs movements and eventually hearing the Red voice. It broke Task's psyche and Man Thing fed off that and killed him.
MeadX26 Oh, I admit that Tasky lost that fight in the end, he couldn't keep DP down in the end.
As far as DP kills the Marvel universe, they added the whole physic link to Tasky for that comic. He actually was able to read DP's movements, he was mirroring him move for move as the link began to kick in allowing him to hear what Red was saying. Once the link was established he knew exactly what DP was doing which scared him triggering the Man Thing to show up. But that whole series, much like the Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe, was a "what if" thing. Not meant to be canon to any of the characters.
There's more to Deadpool than his healing factor. I never said Deadpool was weak or anything along those lines, only that Taskmaster CAN beat Deadpool, it would have happened if he didn't have a healing factor. Let me remind you that Tasky is a normal human outside of his photographic reflexes, no super human strength, endurance, speed, NOTHING.
Know who else Tasky can't copy? Spiderman. While he can mimic his moves, he can't truly fight like him because Spiderman's fighting style is based on reaction to his spidysense. Same thing applies to Deadpool, he can fight just like him but can't recreate it since their's no real fighting style within it.
If you can learn to read, then you are allow to call anybody a 'dumb bastard'.
I don't even think Stan Lee would approve of the task master that was in the movie black widow. So much wasted potential.
TBH taskmaster was a female in the deadpool comic's. Soooooo??
@@innerstrength2029 really?
@@blackclover20 no this fool is lying.
He will be the main antigonist in upcoming black widow movie
He is more enemy of Deadpool and Moon Knight
I have to say...Taskmaster is definitely up there on my list of favorites. It'd be nice if there was more of him in the Marvel Universe. Thanks again for your vids!
Whos here after kevin feige announced task master is the villian of black widow movie
What black widow did was disgusting
Mojo please do more of these!
I will never forgive marvel for what they did with him
"You are the ass-kickee and I am the ass-kicker!" That had better be in the Black Widow movie!
Thanks man! I'm learning a bunch from your videos.
Been waiting for this
One of my fav villains butchered. BW movie was ok at best but the taskmaster was what irked me the most.
Taskmaster is my favorite character out of the entire Marvel Universe. I absolutely love his character type.
He is one of the few Marvel characters that I know that would honestly beat Batman. Batman knows every martial art in the world and so would Taskmaster. He would probably catch anything Bats throws at him, right back at him. Not to mention, he always copies the moves perfectly, so there is no fail to not winning in hand to hand. This guy is always one of the last super hero/villians to survive in roughly all Apocalyptic stories in the Marvel Universe. Age of Ultron, Deadpool kills Marvel Universe... He is also the few who beat Deadpool, who is the most unpredictable character there is and combines moves or makes up moves as he goes, to a standstill. He would honestly beat anyone in normal hand to hand combat.
Something tells me though, that I have a painted targeted on the back of my head from DC fans.
taskmaster can totally beat batman
true true batman would most likely lose unless he somehow made himself mad like deadpool is. when that is said taskmaster would have no reason to attack batman..i mean even if he was paid batman would probably be able to pay him back times 10 exept for the challenge Taskmaster would not have any reason to go for batman
DC has a character with a similar power set in Cassandra Cain who Batman has admitted would beat him. Though she was beaten by Tim Drake who fought her without a style.
Andrew Robertson About 10 other characters have kicked Batman's ass and few fear to admit it. Batman is not invulnerable, he is not unstoppable, he is not stable and he can fall just like every comic book hero/villain that will ever be made or ever will. Drake is just a badass version of batman with a sword and an attitude that I think even Joker would love.
Heartless25 To be fair though inconsistency goes hand in hand with comics almost as much as soft science which is why arguments over character power levels get really confusing when you bring in past achievements they be unable to do now.
So glad you did this! I've been a huge fan of taskmaster forever! Have all of his mini series and most of his appearances! The 2002 UDON run is still the best tho. Such a good story
Same here! Good taste in characters man!
Can someone explanier this to me, i didn't really got that. If the taskmaster doesnt have a Long Term memorie, how comes he is evil? What is his motivition?
money
For what i know, money. Supervillans pay way more.
Wow, that's extremly lame for a supervillain...
ChokoboLP
Practical though. He does seem to enjoy challenges (he does mercenary work for example) and he seems to get a high training others.
I would call it lazy writing. I mean he has These crazy Powers and backstory and all they came up with, about why he's evil is that he's greedy? I mean the possibilities are endless in comics, why just money?
Rumor has it Taskmaster will be the villain in the up coming Black Widow film. I hope this rumor is 100% true because he's such a badass villain I would love to see portrayed in the MCU.
Haha
Too bad
i was when i realized i had watched these videos continuously over the day that i though i should sub. Keep em coming
I very much enjoy these.
The character of Taskmaster is exactly the sort of fighter I wished to become, just minus the memory loss in order to gain things.
Task master has been my favourite Marvel character for years now
YOOOOOO, this was uploaded on my birthday (Taskmaster's one of my fav comic chars). So hype :]
One of the best (and highly underrated) supervillians, ever.
taskmaster is one of my favorite villains. Definitely in my top 3.
Ryan Reynolds said the task master was in the deadpool script 4 years ago but it turned out it would be too expensive
Finally! I've been waiting for this since the release of MvC 3
You guys need to do more of these. Supervillian and superhero. Theyre awesome. Much better then the top ten zelda and half life video game lists you pump out daily.
You forgot in task master mini series 1 that taskmaster figured out if he saw the moves at double normal speed he can for short periods of time increase his normal movement speed. Other then that great break down.
Andddd they fucked up is origins.
Plus, he's also in Marvel's Spider-Man when doing the challenge boxes.
my favorite villan ever! i love the concept of his power
So Taskmaster has the Sharingan years before Naruto was ever produced
the guy who could kill batman and dead shot, and work with deathstroke.
Underrated villain
A very compelling ability; there is room for more its use in movies I hope.
make a moonknight one, not even the Taskmaster dares to copy his style
You make it sounds like Moon Knight is a bad ass. He doesn't like to copy Moon Knight because his style fucking sucks. MK doesn't know how to dodge an attack and let's their enemies punch him right in the face. Taskmaster humilliated Moon Knight but he lost because the writer was an idiot and came up with the stupidest way of making Taskmaster lose when he had already won. No intelligent person would even consider that bullshit comic canon.
@@Nordrig he does it so that he can get a hit it sounds stupid but its really smart instead of dodging
To mad ruined him in black widow movie
Finally i was waiting for that
Kind of liked Taskmaster's reaction in Ultimate Spider-Man when he realized Deadpool infiltrated his island facility. Actual terror in his voice.
Superhero Origins: Stopman
Make it happen Watchmojo XD
oh god all hail the stop man he stopped the ex girlfriend from killing her ex boyfriend
Stopman is love
Stopman is life :)
BigTymerz2009 My GOD, I JUST READ THAT AND I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS THAT POPULAR?
Hahahahahaha! Stopman is a true hero that every man needs to know about XD
All hail Stopman! All hail Stopman! All hail... STOPMAN!
Nat can’t beat our boy. They had to girl him down so Nat could win. Clueless Disney.
Dude I waited for too long to know the origin of the taskmaster. Thanks for this video 😊
Always been a favorite!
Who else is here because of the black widow movie...
Finally, my favorite Marvel character!
I really like his design and color scheme
That Captain America clip in the beginning was hilarious!
he is sort of like marvel's deathstroke, but both of these are cool in their ways
And taskmaster precedes deathstrokw by 6 months.
Except Taskmaster came out before Deathstroke
So basically he has a Sharingan
Luciano Martinez Question: What is a Sharingan and why is every other commenter mentioning it?
jd johnson Its a special ability possesed by the Uchiha Clan which allows their eyes to copy movements and in certain situations skills, for more in-depth info google Naruto Sharingan
Space Elephant Ah, thanks.
Yeah only the original version up to three tomoes. Everything else is fucking hack plot shit.
+Luciano Martinez No he has taskmaster sharingan basically has the taskmaster :o
awesome as all ways
I was always curious of taskmaster and thanks to Marvel these explanations, I seem to like him even more. thanks mojo. ;)
The Taskmaster should be the villian the the third Avengers movie. Who agrees?
Would be awesome but thanos is already confirmed for avengers 3
HAVOK1134206
Dang:(
Hm poor shame but trust me Thanos is much more worth of a villain then taskmaster ;) IMO
Agreed, I would love to see Taskmaster in an MCU film
No. Maybe a villain in a Netflix series, next captain america movie, or a Hawkeye/Black Widow movie if it ever gets made.
he never stood a chance against deadpool though
yea, I was watching spiderman and when spidy said deadpool was with him, he freaked out
I seen that episode (ultimate deadpool)
hell yeah deadpool is waaay too crazy to read
Thats simply because no one can read a pattern that don't exist deadpool just do ramdom things there for he can read a pattern so he can't use his power aginst deadpool
where can i watch this?
I came to read the masters' casual comments
"Years for you, seconds for me", I wish I had Taskmaster's long term memory :)
im looking forward to whenever they decide to use him for a Marvel movie, hes just the kind of foe thats perfect for putting all of the Avengers in their place without having to be OP like Thano's
And now Black Widow will be fighting him in a prequel and who knows it may not be the last time we see him
They ruined him
Black Widow ruined him in the MCU
They turned our boy into another widow. I knew something wasn't right when he wasn't mocking people.
this is unrelated but i loved that hypnotic music
This is awesome to learn about it smaller characters
Who’s here after watching how badly they butchered this character in black widow?
He should be a villian in a Hawkeye/Black Widow film, with him only studying Cap, IM, Hulk, SW, and QS not counting the pair as Avengers like all the haters do. It would show both Taskmasters Strength as well as Clint's and Natasha's
One of my favorite villains actually
taskmaster is a hidden gem in marvel comics wish somewhone would make an ongoing series
I love TaskMaster
Who's here just because of the teaser trailer of upcoming Black Widow film!?
Could you do a video on the rivalry between taskmaster and deadpool please also your videos are really cool so keep 'em comin'
Taskmaster is one of my favorites now!
