What's holding back your argument is you have to discount nearly every appearance Taskmaster has made other than his debut in order for him to look good and have never been defeated.
Literally all I and Ghostravage have been doing is providing context to the fights that you're trying to use as evidence of why Batman would beat Taskmaster. Providing context. If you think that providing context to fights is the equivalent of wanking a character, that's your problem.
What's painfully obvious here, other than your thick headed bias and picking and choosing what everyone here can consider, is that Taskmaster does not obtain entire martial arts from observing one move. He obtains the move only. He would have to observe every move from that art to obtain that art. He would have to observe 127 arts without getting taken out in the meantime. But I can't argue with stupid. Only Taskmaster's first fight with the Avengers counts I guess. Yknow the one where he knocked everyone down and ran away. No wait, have to see it like you do, he beat the entire Avengers single handedly and escaped. He has never been beaten (rolls eyes)
Ghost already addressed this, and again, it was made abundantly clear how his powers worked in Taskmaster Vol. 2. I would think that someone who is obviously a big enough fan of the character to own three mint condition copies of his first appearance would at the very least have read his second and as it stands only solo run besides UDON and picked up on this. Also funnily enough, I haven't even mentioned a single feat from classic Taskmaster, which range from fighting Spider-man evenly to dancing around the Avengers. The fact is Tony just doesn't even need those feats to win, and you're already trying to say WOW YOU'RE ONLY USING HIS CLASSIC FEATS WHICH ARE OUTDATED.
-I like how you even attempt to discount Mr. X defeating Taskmaster. I'm starting to notice a trend here. Nothing counts. Especially Taskys losses... right....
Darkseid beat Batman, therefore any street leveler can. What, you're trying to discount that loss? Wow, stop wanking your character mate.
It's almost like context matters and ABC logic doesn't apply here
-Taskmaster never solidly defeated Captain America. Captain America dominated him in Captain America #44, Battle Scars #2, and Captain America Steve Rogers #3. Take off your rose colored glasses.
Cap didn't land a single hit until he surprised Taskmaster with his shield and BFR'd bothof them in Captain America #44, Taskmaster was not even paying attention to Cap in Battle Scars #2 and was focusing on killing his target before both Cap and Maria Hill came in and saved him, and in Steve Rogers #3, even if you don't think it was piss poor writing, Cap surprised Taskmaster with new tech and Taskmaster didn't fight back because he was collecting information. All of this has been explained to you numerous times now, you are literally just going in circles and refusing to accept the facts.
-Taskmaster cannot predict attacks. That is not one of his super powers. Notice the word 'virtually'. He can virtually do it just like any Class 5 to 7 could and it has to be someone he already studied and that would take a very long time against someone with 127 martial arts Perfected and all forms mastered. In that time Tony with his intellegence of 4 is not going to get caught off guard against strategist with an IQ of 192 every time?
??? What are you even trying to say here. Because Batman has an IQ of 192 noone can predict his moves? You realise Cassandra Cain did the exact same thing to Bruce before right?
And hell, let's just ignore that that's even part of his power set. Taskmaster still knows every martial art on Earth (hint: that's more than 127), in addition to way more advanced martial arts than Bruce, he could literally just use the Shi'ar martial art that he learnt in Taskmaster #4 which has no counter in martial arts from Earth and conceivably win. Now I'm not saying this is something Taskmaster would do, because he's a cocky bastard who likes to show off the fact that he's better than everyone else, but clearly you have no idea or simply don't care about using character consistency, so take it as you will.
-what I meant about earlier when I said Batman could simply give him nothing mimic was when he realized Taskmaster mimics abilities what's to stop him from switching to evasive dodges with no tell Tales. Tony wouldn't be able to absorb his abilities then. Then he could switch to gadgets until he throws a move Tony has never seen before.
Dude, it doesn't matter if he throws a move Tony hasn't seen before, the second he does, Taskmaster has already mastered and perfectly countered that very move. Taskmaster doesn't use 'tell tales' to predict attacks lmao. You do realise he has powers right? You are clear on that?
-your really stretching if you think he has been exposed to more martial arts based on that chart
Literally trying to say that facts are wrong, lol. You can't just say "uhh just because the handbook says he is a master of every martial art known to man, doesn't mean he is". The handbooks are known for massively underrating characters, so when it says that a character is a rank 7 fighter, you can be damn well sure he is a rank 7 fighter. Not to mention that, again, this was shown in Taskmaster vol. 2. Really, read the bloody series mate.
now your using Cassandra Cain for ABC logic. She is not Taskmaster plus listening to your skewed interpretation of her spars with Batman will likely be as wrong as your interpretation of the fights Taskmaster lost to Captain America. Cassandra Cain and Taskm aster cannot predict moves like Mr. X and Philo Zeiss. Cain and Taskmaster react. Virtually or whatever. Quickly or whatnot. Taskmaster develops perfect counters the same way any fighter does. That is not his super power. His power is to mimic moves and only entire skill sets if he's exposed to iT. Otherwise he would have never been hit. I suppose you would like people to believe he let's people hit him.
I don't even have a response to how ironic (and false, again you're just going in circles after everything has been explained) this is. Just... wow, you've really outdone yourself mate. Nice job.
-cool how your attempting to insult me. Frustrated much? LI key because your wrong.
You literally started saying that @ghostravage wastes his life on comicvine because he has a high post count and is kicking your ass in the debate lol. If you can't stand the heat, don't start a fire.
you were done when you started referencing hyperbole, using ABC logic, picking and choosing his victories over his losses and seeing things with rose colored glasses.
Let me be absolutely clear with you, just so there is 100% no confusion here. Your entire argument is based off of a failed attempt at ABC logic by using fights that Taskmaster lost, whilst ignoring context for every single fight, and making RIDICULOUS statements, like Batman being as unpredictable as Deadpool (and therefore being able to nullify Taskmaster's powers).
If that's not clear to you by now, you're literally just lying to yourself. Hell, like I said if you want to ignore character consistency, I showed Taskmaster throwing around Iron Man, where's your counter to that?
