    Don't forget he can do things in fast foreword (for a limited amount of time) if he's watched it in fast foreword.
     
    Not the best pic but he did it in the series that the pic came from.

    He is definitely not the most powerful.  I don't know exactly where to put him, but I think he's a bit overrated.

    I am not exactly sure how strong he is. I would assume he is at least as strong as Cap, so that would put him around the peak human range, now I am not as up to date on TM as most probably.

    I don't think that he is peak human but he is at least Olympic level.

    Olympic level, physically, he's in bulls eye or Clint Barton's range, only he has a greater library of moves, thanks to his great ability (photographic reflexes).

    In one of the comics, he goes toe to toe with Cap and in another he goes toe to toe with Deadpool...both of which would be classified as 'super strong'

    Not super strong, peak human.  Though the fact that he's able to match them just demonstrates his fighting ability.  He's olympic athlete level.  Everything else comes from his photographic reflexes.

    It definitely doesn't have what could be considered super strength.

    i dont belive that he can just be regular he can put up a fight with alot of superes so he must have some im not talk much, he can do double speed from watching movies in x2 or something so if can do that he must be able to have some kinda super human stregth at least 1.5 or X2 or something

    If you actually read his fights with super powered beings he mostly uses his weapons to keep up physically.Going double speed doesn't make him any stronger.He's still one of the weakest street levelers in the Marvel Universe.

    Why is this even a thread? Taskmaster has never performed any strength feats, ever.

    Taskmaster doesn't have any super strength, I could never figure out why he never looked for a boost either with a suit or from someone like Power Broker.

    He would be OP if he had super strength. His current lifting stats aren't even in the 500 range. He did knock down the giants with his shield however.

    He's defo gotta be in the 800 lbs range. It'll be ridiculous to think he's anything less. His info has not been updated. He's above olympic level. He can't be anything below peak human to do the things he do. He can punch super strong heroes and receive equally.
