[edit] vandalism?

Um...im new at this, so please forgive me for any mistakes in this post. taskmaster's abilities box thingy says "the super ability to rifle through space bins". if this IS vandalism (i popped on this page by chance...), can someone please fix it.

thanks.

Thanks for the heads-up, but I don't see it on there and there are no registered edits for the last few days. -Fuzzy (talk) 11:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mutant?

Periodically, we've had people editing the page to say that Taskmaster is a mutant. Perhaps there's been a retcon that I missed, but as far as I know, this is not the case. Consider the following:

  • Taskmaster has claimed he is not a mutant.
  • His abilities developed from infancy, not during puberty, like most Marvel mutants.
  • AFAIK, he's never been susceptible to any weapons, drugs, diseases, sensors, superpowers, etc. which affect mutants.
  • The recent events of House of M and Civil War don't appear to have had any effect on him.

The X-Men: Children of the Atom sourcebook released by Marvel in 1986 listed Taskmaster (Anthony) as a mutant, by the way, as did a reference when a mutant detector detected a mutant in the vicinity in Avengers, which was initially believed to be Mystique, except she had on a scrambler. [I apologize, my "Enter" key is broken] But Taskmaster is NOT A MUTANT. This was discussed in Agent X and Deadpool respectively.

Would it be a good idea to upload a pic of UDON's rendition of Tasky? I always thought that one looked way better than his pirate/skeleton outfit myself... 207.118.76.99 01:01, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

It probably does (not much can make Pirate Tasky look good) but Pirate is how most peeps remember him...
No doubt, but seeing how the article mentions UDON's changes, shouldn't we show it? (Example: http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/8/88/Taskmaster_003.jpg) 207.118.72.13 00:05, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I might be misremembering, but I thought there was something near the bottom of the "Powers" section that mentioned him being able to partially replicate super speed by slowing down a video. Am I mistaken?

Taskmaster actually sped up a video by 2x and found out that he could replicate that speed in his Taskmaster Mini-Series by UDON. That might be a good thing to add to show readers how far he can take his photographic reflexes. 207.118.71.175 18:37, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bibliography

Does anyone have a list of the books Tasky has been in? Marvel's own wiki is quite sparse -

AVENGERS (v1) #195, 196, 233, (v3) #26 AGENT-X #1-9, #13-15 CAPTAIN AMERICA (v1) #334, (v3) #44 TASKMASTER #1-4

I know for a fact he's appeared in Deadpool and Cable&Deadpool a lot too. Chebbs (talk) 01:32, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

The Taskmastersite.com (or something like that) fansite maintains a complete bibliography.--Halloween jack (talk) 05:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

- Excellent! wouldn't you know it i've been on that site before and totally didnt notice the "apperances" section *doh*. Anyway, added now, minus the alternate covers/cameos/reprint issues that are on the taskamastersite.com list. Hope it looks okay Chebbs (talk) 00:29, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
