My moolah’s on this Arena for the Win, that’s where my initial bets will be at.
I don’t think deathstroke has as much of his Nth armor as he used to. He got youth-ified and rocks a slightly lighter armor.

The Battlefield is the Tanker from Metal Gear Solid 2.
Also assume that Taskmaster has no problems with his mental health and has kept stances and moves from all the heroes he has shown.
Taskmaster has his usual shield, sword, guns, bow&arrows, garb and other equipment he took influence from other heroes.

Deadpool is too unpredictable for Tasky.
this involved prep but its kind of cool. setting up a room of paperclips and magnetic control devices to use said paperclips to form constructs to counter Antman’s ant constructs. not viable here but cool.

Great match. I’m siding with Taskmaster as I feel he’s got the edge in a hand-to-hand scenario
Found the energy shield.
smg.photobucket.com/user/Dusk/media/Comics/MarvelComics-Taskmaster001-17.jpg.html
Yeah, he can have it here, just in case he loses other equipment, along with his other equipment.
Looks cool.
I still think Deathstroke’s armor is a problem though.
On the fifth scan, we see his armor tank two missiles and he just walks away saying that sucked.

One that note, that was after he fell from a building landing on a car then fighting some armored cultist. So I think that counts as an endurance feat.
“Slade Blitz soldiers from a few meters away before they get a shot off”

Taskmaster did the same thing.

“Hits fly with paper clip”
/
Taskmaster has the same skill, able to hit Ant-Man while he’s small.
They should have an insect swatting competition.

“Weapon strong enough to slice through a jet”

To be fair on that one, he cut the wing. Not the whole thing.
“Taskmaster did the same thing.”

I know just putting in some basic feats. I’ll get to the rest later.
Also did task have to close the distance to blitz or was he already close by?
===
“To be fair on that one, he cut the wing. Not the whole thing.”
–
Still two highspeed objects colliding at each other and if you look at side near the cockpit you can see he cut the part where the wing turns into the rest of the jet so it isn’t the thinest part.

Since it hasn’t been mentioned yet, Taskmaster can fight at super speeds.
He learned this by watching martial arts tapes on fast forward. lol

But as he lacks super human stamina this puts a great strain on his body.
Limiting the time he can do it and risking injury. (torn muscles etc.)

And yes who needs sleep.
Taskmaster is pretty skilled:

@Lowk
“I do. I just happen to have a really shitty erratic sleeping pattern.”

I am sorry.

Anyway, I think Tasky has the reaction times, fighting skills, and various weaponry in his favor.
On the other hand Stroker has his armor and, while not more weapons than Tony Blair, really good weapons along with a strategic mind. Maybe strength too.
I think they are even in speed.
This is why I suggested this fight.
It looked good.
I feel like if these two were to run into each other on a job and have a clash they would probably end up respecting each other.
We need to find a tag team match for these guys, I’m not sure what, but they would be an awesome team.

So standard gear for Deathstroke and Taskmaster and Deadshot, but Punisher doesn’t really have a standard I don’t think so what toys should he get?

Hmm, is the van he had when he appeared in the 1994 Spiderman series canon? You could give him that if it is- that way he can have access to whatever but he also won’t likely be able to just spam-prep since it’s likely going to be destroyed at some point.

Funnily enough, that’s the show Extreme Dinosaurs came from, they were shown in a few of the final episodes and were popular enough to get their own show.
