Copyright (Marvel/DC/ect): Marvel
Characters civilian name: Unknown

-------------------------------------------------------------
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Apparent Age: Around 30
Hair: Brown

Height: 6'2''
Weight: 220lbs
Appearance: Taskmaster is a well fitted mercenary who carries certain weapons for either he only needs for specific assignments or is well fitted with. Taskmaster wears a white hooded cape which covers parts of his face. The skull mask is just like any other mask but because of his image inducer the mask looks real enough to be part of his skin. Its almost like it is attached to his face or is his face.
When wearing his basic costume he always carries a bow with trick arrows much like Hawkeye, a throwing shield similar to Captain America's, a copy of Spider-Man's webshooters, a multipurpose billy club like Daredevil and a sword like Black Knight's. His belt carries a few throwing weapons like Moon Knight's cresent darts and a rope.
In his mercenary outfit he has a lot more speed and agility because he doesn't wear as much gear as his other costume does. Taskmaster wears a blue jump suit with pads on certain places of his body like his elbows and knees. Not only does he carry a katana and two semi-automatic handguns with him but he has a generator attached on his right wrist. (See Equipment) His image inducer allows him to alter his physical appearance to anyone he wishes.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Super Powers: Taskmaster does not have any powers.
Learned Abilities: Taskmaster possesses photographic reflexes, which enables him to watch another person’s physical movements and duplicate them without practice, no matter how complex. This ability is only limited by the fact that he does not possess superhuman strength or other superhuman attributes.
Taskmaster has made extensive use of video tapes and movies to study the movements of superhuman adventurers, as well as athletes, marksmen, stunt performers, and soldiers. Thus he has gained a wide range of combat and acrobatic skills. These skills include, but are not limited to, all present day and many historical martial arts, boxing, wrestling, swordsmanship, archery, marksmanship, gymnastics, aerial acrobatics and sleight of hand.
Recently it has been discovered that Taskmaster also possesses photographic memory and voice impersonation.
Equipment: Taskmaster makes use of a variety of weapons. He frequently employs a throwing shield like Captain America, a multipurpose billy club like Daredevil, a bow which uses a variety of trick arrows like Hawkeye, a sword like Black Knight, and web-shooters like Spider-Man. None of the copies are as high quality as the originals.
Taskmaster stole a generator from SHIELD that allows him to create any shape out of energy. He has done so by forming a shield like Captain America's, Spider-Man's webshooters and Wolverine's claws. He usually only uses this on mercenary missions along with a pair of semi-automatic handguns and a katana. Taskmaster also has an image inducer which allows him to change his physical appearance to anyone he wishes.
Weaknesses (Must Have): Taskmaster is just a normal man without powers. Any type of fire arm or weapon could harm him or even kill him.
Background:The man who would become the Taskmaster first demonstrated unusual abilities during childhood. After watching a cowboy show on television, he found himself able to duplicate the sophisticated rope tricks he had just watched the cowboy perform. Psychiatrists, called in at the mother's request, termed the boy's rare ability "Photographic Reflexes". He realized the limitations of his abilities the hard way by learning you must first learn how to swim before you learn how to dive as he nearly drowned. He employed his talent several times during his youth for professional gain, most notably when he became a star quarterback of his high school football team after watching one pro football game. Upon graduation, he briefly considered a career as a crime fighter, but opted for becoming a criminal, which he perceived to be more lucrative.
Taskmaster then began a program of observing the fighting techniques of a large number of superhumanly powered adventurers through archival television news broadcasts. He initially used his fighting skills to execute several successful grand larcenies, but he had not properly anticipated the dangers involved. He decided to use his stolen capital to establish a center for training aspiring criminals to become polished professionals. His goal was to become a supplier for criminal organizations around the world. Designing a costume, he took the name Taskmaster and began to train a large number of thugs at this criminal academy located near the town of Southampton on New York State's Long Island.
