(Damage) Punch Like Cap, Shoot Like Hawkeye: Taskmaster can use Close Combat Expert and Ranged Combat Expert.

(Attack) Photographic Reflexes: Before any attack roll, Taskmaster can replace his attack value or defense value with the unmodified value of the same type from any target character within 6 squares to which he has a clear line of fire. After the resolution of an action in which Taskmaster uses this power, roll one d6; if the result is less than or equal to the difference between Taskmaster's printed combat value and the replaced value, Taskmaster is dealt 1 unavoidable damage for each 100 points (or fraction thereof) of the target's point value.

Still Got Those Photographic Reflexes: Give Taskmaster a free action. Choose any standard power an opposing character within 8 squares and line of fire and with one or more action tokens can use. Taskmaster can use that power until the end of this turn.
You Hold No Surprises: Taskmaster's combat values can't be modified by opposing characters' powers or abilities.
Super-Villain Training: Taskmaster can use Enhancement and Leadership. When he succeeds on a roll for Leadership, adjacent friendly characters modify their attack and range values by +1.

Oh my goodness. What a beautiful Taskmaster. Definitely a step up from the Avengers one and a VERY competitive and playable figure. I must have one.

Nay, three.

Very worthy of this amazing character; comic-accurate, playable, fun and deadly, from what I can see right now. I can't wait to own and run this piece. This set can't come out fast enough.

Great dial and fantastic sculpt! No complaints here.

The Taskmaster all of us have been waiting for. Great trait, Great Keywords(T-bolts? Yes, please), And pretty decent stats(love that fifth click). And a Wildcard to boot? My new Most-Wanted fig from Chaos War. Go Tasky!

Awesome stuff, but shouldn't he have the Skeleton Crew Keyword as well? I know I am just being picky, but I am really glad to get a good Taskmaster.

I think I'm in love.

FINALLY, a playable and accurate version of my favorite Marvel villain. ThankyouWizkids!!!

Definitely my most-wanted SR. That makes 4 that I want (Crystal, Sinister, and Kang too).

With no drawbacks from using the Photographic Reflexes power, this guy is a force to be reckoned with.

Mmm... MoD and T-Bolts. This Taskmaster is sweet. The traits are a great way to represent him and his powers seem spot on.

Great dial for this guy. Why did they make all the characters I really want in this set SRs and LEs?? Sculpt looks cool though why is his face so skeletal? I thought he wore a skull mask...

I can't wait to say, "And this turn, Taskmasker will be 'reflexing' your Impervious."

Love it. This is the Taskmaster I want to play. On my "must have" list.

He seems pretty strong. Can someone fill me in on who he is and what his powers are? (and who he is as strong as)
