Taskmaster + Thor = Skeletor + He-man?

oh the possibilities, green ammy (or felicia) for a pseudo battle cat/cringer = team masters of the universe.

Some sort of rope by the looks of it.

Delicious_Toast · January 17, 2011, 2:31pm

Its a grappling hook, its just black against dark so its hard to see.

If he doesn’t have a Skeletor costume I’ll go apeshit

d3v · January 17, 2011, 2:31pm

Jizz!

Killer_Jigglypuff · January 17, 2011, 2:32pm

Either Haggar has a SHITON of health of that counter hyper does like no damage.

Bronzefist · January 17, 2011, 2:35pm

i bet he can combo after his counter hyper, like Wesker can.

Also NEW THREAD = NEW THREAD TAGS. GOGOGO

Marvel didn’t do a Masters of the Universe comic did they (I see that Image did some though)? And they also don’t own the rights to the character, so I’m not sure why he would. I really don’t know how his alternate colors would make any sense anyway considering he only has like two suits and his second is drastically different, with the mask and hood really only being vaguely similar.

Jocelot · January 17, 2011, 2:37pm

Oh god no, here it comes-

Delicious_Toast · January 17, 2011, 2:39pm

Marvel also didn’t have a comic series about MAG-FUCKIN-NETO where he ran around in Cyan uppercutting giant robots in corners but here we are.

EDIT: goddamn I wanna read that

BiGGDaddyCane · January 17, 2011, 2:39pm

Hell Yea. I know the Falling Arrows gotta be one of his assist. He’s gonna be useful.

BitterSweet · January 17, 2011, 2:45pm

From the video we can tell that he has:

Many angles to use projectiles
Counter Super
At 00:34 Projectile reflect
A Spider Man swing air move
A Captain America type of uppercut
At 00:40 he does a low counter that doesn’t take up meter versus Chun Li
At 00:45 after using counter super which seems weak looks as if he has enough time to follow up with an air arrow super.
Not to mention he doesn’t seem slow.

That aside any character who says “Your in for a world of hurt.” while doing a super is ok in my books.

Jocelot · January 17, 2011, 2:48pm

Huh… is he saying “Mighty Swing”, or “Spidey Swing”? Now that I think about it, I’m not too sure anymore.

EDIT: Guhhh so tired. Gotta wake up for work tomarrow. But I don’t wanna sleep… too… hyped…

Sylari · January 17, 2011, 2:51pm

Mighty Swing

Fires about 7 arrows at once at the Avengers-

Very quick fight against Fandral/Hogun, the majority happens off panel later in the issue.

This is from the latest issue and is pretty damn impressive. Taskmaster fights CAP and Bucky at the same time, then just Bucky.

http://s188.photobucket.com/albums/z259/almightykfish/Taskmaster%20Respect%20thread/?action=view&current=2Caps-5.jpg

Note how he’s deflecting bullets whilst fighting Steve, and the only time either Steve or Bucky tag Tasky is when he’s distracted by the other one (throwing sword at Bucky and yelling after Steve when he goes to fight Osborn).
Pretty impressive as we all know how good Cap is, and Bucky is one of the worlds greatest assassins and was reknowned for his h2h skills.

Takes on a bunch of Initiative trainees at once, one of whoms power is to instinctively has mastery of all forms of martial arts, Taskmaster owns them all-

It’s “Mighty Swing.”

Anyway. here’s hoping some stuff from his latest comic adventures make it into the game, especially references to the Minions International Liberation Front.

Killer_Jigglypuff · January 17, 2011, 2:55pm

A shame all of those are fucking tiny.

Sylari · January 17, 2011, 2:56pm

Are we supposed to be able to read that? >.>

Jocelot · January 17, 2011, 2:56pm

That sounds a lot like… guhhh…

SleepEDIT: Is his new ongoing (or was it a mini?) any good? How far in is it? I heard the first issue was meh.

Sylari · January 17, 2011, 2:59pm

Slightly pissed now that I have ONE MORE CHARACTER I need to try and figure out how to play. I wasn’t interested in Task at ALL before this badass trailer.

“Mighty” and “guhhh” sound nothing alike.

crimsonspider89 · January 17, 2011, 3:01pm

It was alright and it is over. Descent read, got to see some badass shit from Task at the end.
