Taskmaster

Does his power get any explanation, or is he like Bullseye, as in, a character that can do impossible things without any training or super-powers to justify it?

>Taskmaster injected himself with SS-Hauptsturmführer Horst Gorscht's primer, an elaborate modification of the adrenal steroid cortisol designed to unlock the mind's procedural memory potential. The Taskmaster thus gained the ability to absorb knowledge instantaneously. This ability is linked to his muscle memory, allowing the Taskmaster to instantly replicate the physical movement of peak-level humans.

There’s still limits to what he can do. It’s the most reasonable super human I can think of

So, just steroids? And Marvel fans praise Marvel for it?

try reading his wiki page next time instead of making shitty threads, retard.

He ran a tape in fast forward to make his movements super speed once. Hilarious.

He can perfectly copy any movement he sees as long as he's physically capable of doing so, essentially bypassing the need for training and practice and directly picking up any physical skill and associated muscle memory. It's explicitly a superpower. is a later retcon that is mostly ignored by writers (and also makes massive changes to how his powers work, personality, history, and motivations).

And how he got that power?

Born with it.

or maybe it's Maybelline

Oh wow look it's every comment about Captain America for the last few decades.

So he is a mutant?

No x-gene, so no.

have you tried reading some comics?

So where the fuck does his powers come from?

SWORD OF THE BLACK KNIGHT

Bruh, people are born with additional muscles, extra lung capacity, and savant mental capabilities all the time in the real world with no x-gene to provide. He is just one of those guys with a special kind of photographic memory. It's not exactly a super power, unless you think real world people with photographic memories have super powers.

Also, apparently the brain can only hold so much information, so he (and his daughter) have trouble remembering their own damn pasts.

same thing with bullseye and kingpin, a real world ability cranked up to comic book levels.
and i hate that they injected the "no long term memory" bullshit, the shield supersoldier serum thing is still far worse though

>"How can Batman be so god a fighting after training for 15 years? This doesn't make any sense!"
>"Yeah, Bullseye, Taskmaster and Kingpin never trained shit, but some people are just born that way"

Okay, some people are able to see things and instantly pick up the movement because of perfect hand eye coordination on top of perfect mind body connection.
On top of that he has brilliant memory and an abnormally well trained and adaptable body.

No, just a mutate.
A human with abnormal perfection that allows him to do unbelievable things and has unbelievably top tier physical ability.

The only humans born like that are born to mutant parents.
So canonically speaking one of Taskmasters parents or grand parents has to be a mutant. Their X-gene was probably unactivated or some super low tier stuff that kicked on but never did anything the person would know about. Like being abnormally good at seeing far away or being able to grow hair really fast.

Mutate is the term for anyone who gains superpowers from an outside source. Mutants are superhumans who have the X-gene. Taskmaster is neither mutant nor mutate, he's depicted as either a naturally occurring superhuman or as some kind of physical savant. The limited series that retconned his origin would make him a mutate, but that series is largely ignored and doesn't mesh with his history at all.

Horrible

Is Finesse his daughter?

Kingpin does work out and train, though.
