History[]

Training[]

Anthony was born with no eyesight. His assassin father took advantage of this, and he trained Anthony to heighten his other senses. As he grew older, Anthony grew into his sight and when it fully arrived, he had 2020 vision. He learned his father was taking advantage of him, and made plans to kill him. However, first he needed to finish his training. He learned that he has a photographic memory and he could instantly mimic any fighting move his father teaches him.

The Perfect Assassin[]

After learning all of his father's moves and more, he stole his sword and used it to impale him. Anthony then decided he could use his powers to become an assassin for hire and become rich. He waited until he was eighteen, then he became the Taskmaster. He was hired by AIM to murder Alex Rogers, but he was unsuccessful. However, he managed to master all of his moves.

Super Villain[]

After the murder of three other people, Anthony became extremely rich. When he learned most of his money was fake, he put the rest of it in a Swiss Bank Account and decided to become a supervillain instead. He first battled the new Captain America, and their glorious rivalry was born.

Code Red[]

Taskmaster was later hired by Dell Rusk to join his black ops team to combat the Avengers, Code Red. Taskmaster took the offer, looking at this as an opportunity to murder Captain America. During one of their battles, Taskmaster was about to kill Cap from behind, but a mysterious assassin shot Taskmaster in the back, seemingly killing him.
