Conversations with Tony Masters (Earth-616)

Taskmaster

You want me to do... what?

Train me.

Train you to...

To do what I do.

That doesn't make any sense

Deadpool

Uh, hello? Look who you're talkin' to!

— Deadpool Vol 2 #56

Taskmaster

My, my, eager little beaver, ain't ya? But maybe ya wouldn't be--if ya knew about my "photographic reflexes"! 'Cause within limitations, once I see something' done, I can duplicate it exactly! An' that includes--your speed and agility!

Spider-Man

Nice try, ugly! But not nice enou--

Taskmaster

Sorry, hero, but whatever I can't duplicate, I can anticipate! And since I've studied most every super-type around, I think you'd be smart to throw in the towel!

Spider-Man

No way Taskmaster! You can't duplicate or anticipate an airborne attack on a webbing rope!

Taskmaster

No? Then how cum--I can cut it short with a Captain America-style sling?

— Marvel Team-Up #103

Black Abbot

Must retreat...tend to myself...

Taskmaster

So you think you turned the tables, huh? Guess again. This is a little move I picked up from watching Iron Fist in action!

Spider-Man

I've had just about enough of you, skull-face! My webbing oughtta keep you wrapped up nice and neat until the police get here!

Taskmaster

I've studied your fighting style too, Spider-Man, so I can second-guess your every move--and counter it with, say, a little of Daredevil's agility!

— Marvel Team-Up #146

Quotes

That gig -- the Villain Schools -- I had to get out of it. Think about it. All my clients were guys who needed training. It was always, "C'mon, Tasky, front me the training. I'll make good after my first job. I'm gonna be huge, man. You just gotta teach me that badass Punisher move I saw on Entertainment Tonight." And the heroes, swinging in to bust up the free enterprise, I'm engaged in. And every time they do? I gotta find a new abandoned warehouse or a new abandoned drilling platform or, would it had never been so, a new circus to take over. Overhead? You don't know what overhead is until you've see what a guy gets paid to scoop up elephant %?$#.

--Taskmaster

Personally, I think we've done enough of the beating and torture and I'm ready to move straight to the beheading.

--Taskmaster

I gotta say. Fighting you? Want to talk about a fighting style I could have lived a lifetime without memorizing? It's yours. Never met a punch you wouldn't rather take than dodge, have you?

--Taskmaster

The things I do for friends I can't stand...

--Cable & Deadpool #36
