With the power to perfectly duplicate any fighting style he observes, the Taskmaster is an expert in countless forms of combat. Besides working as a hired gun himself, he trains henchmen for other criminals – teaching them how to counter the super heroes he has studied. His protégés have included the so-called Evil Versions: Bloodspider, Deathshield and Jagged Bow. The Taskmaster has faced Spider-Man on a number of occasions, often battling the web-slinger and his fellow heroes together. In exchange for a commuted sentence, the government used the taskmaster to train John Walker to replace Captain America. Despite brief incarcerations, he remains at large.
