How about some Taskmaster?

Tip jar

[heckcareoxytwit]

Deadpool is having a hard time fighting the new foe - Death Grip, the mad mystic martial artist. Death Grip keeps shrugging off katanas, kicks, punches and even the blabbering from the merc with a mouth. Meanwhile at the hidden base, Ellie Camacho and Princess the Symbiote Hyena learn that Deadpool had gone out on a mission without telling them so they interrogate Doug Siravanta for his whereabouts. Back to the temple, Deadpool keeps fighting Death Grip until he gets his arm torn off from a telekinetic attack. The mad mystic martial artist will stop at nothing to find the limits of Deadpool’s healing factor. Somewhere in the temple, Taskmaster is fighting off the temple's monks with a combination of learned martial arts and borrowed magic. Back to Deadpool vs Death Grip, the former (Deadpool) is still fighting the latter (Death Grip) despite having one arm. Even though Deadpool managed to get his upper hand (pardon the pun) on Death Grip by chopping off his hands, he loses his leg to the mystic's breath weapon. Just before Death Grip could finish off Deadpool, he is stopped by Ellie and Princess who arrived just in time and she fires a bomb arrow at the mystic. Both Ellie and Princess managed to save Deadpool before the temple blows up. Even though Deadpool is wounded and has missing left limbs, he is still alive much to the relief from his daughter. Also, Taskmaster emerges out of the wreckage, slightly wounded but alive.

My concept art of Taskmaster if he appears in Marvel Rivals! A mix of Udon Taskmaster and his current costume in the 2024's Deadpool comic run. I wanted him to have his cape be holographic if he ever needed it to take it off for a stealthier approach.

I really like when they play around with Taskmaster being super genre savvy. It turns out the guy whose skillset and profession necessitate him really knowing his shit with regards to superheroes gets to be very familiar with the tropes. Who knew?

Happy Halloween I guess, I realized that these three all have done cosplay/impersonation in some way or the other

Read Taskmaster (Rubicon Hammer-2020) and Deadpool (2024) and y’all

So JUST the mask for Fury? All he needs is the skull despite knowing what you look like?

But when it’s Wade-eh no issue.

I think TaskPool just beat out CablePool as my go to comic!verse ship.

I’ll never get over the fact that Deadpool once couldn’t even remember Taskmaster’s name, he called him Barney Toastmaster around the second time he met Tasky.

Yet, after all that time he cannot get Tony’s name out of his mouth.

In almost every issue of Deadpool (2024) he’s almost exclusively called Taskmaster Tony, before this series he really only called him Tasky if given a nickname at all (think there were a few Tony’s here and there, my memory is a tad spotty).

Then he even called him Anthony… which is HIS FULL NAME. And basically nobody calls Taskmaster Anthony, and why should they?

Most everyone refers to him as Taskmaster, Tasky or Tony. Never Anthony, and he doesn’t seem to have an issue with this at all, in fact I was always under this assumption he only wanted to be referred to as The Taskmaster

But there’s Wade calling him ANTHONY and Tony doesn’t complain about it. I find that so interesting…

It just shows how much their relationship has evolved from first not even saying the right name to being unable to just call him Taskmaster. They are wayyy beyond the “professionalism” that the two used to share in their respective careers, from what seemed to begin as a rivalry has become more of a partnership and it is much more personal now.

You can see it a lot in this new Deadpool run, the way they are around each other, it’s way more casual, it’s friendlier; yes we can say “well it’s just the writers” but I really do think their relationship HAS evolved over the years.

There were times neither of them would even refer to each other as friends, but I think it’s always been more than that. I’d argue a lot of the reason neither would admit this is because having friends in the mercenary business can get you and others in trouble, especially with their reputations; friends with Deadpool? Gonna get Taskmaster in a LOT of trouble with guys who hate him. And the same for Deadpool being friends with Taskmaster, they keep the distance, the appearances. It’s always been professional.

But you could always tell that was some fondness between them no matter what happened, even when they double cross each other, trying to kill one another because they were paid to do so. In a way through all of this you can see how much they do work well together and get along while still having their differences, and still having that capability to be angry at the other person.

They have a wonderful dynamic that can be complicated, but at its core it’s just because of who they are.

It’s an unorthodox relationship because of their professions, their personalities, all of it. But they still love each other even if they may not openly admit this fact for countless reasons.

(Yes. I think it does embarrass Taskmaster to have ANY attachments, it would be even more embarrassing to admit that person is Deadpool.)

So let’s not forget that Tony called Wade, Wadey! I repeat, WADEY!!!

Usually Taskmaster has addressed him by names like ‘Pool, Wilson, and of course Wade on certain occasions… but Wadey? A whole nickname he’s never once used before…

THEY ARE IN LOVE AT THIS POINT AND NO ONE WILL PROVE ME OTHERWISE!!!

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. Just keeps playing in my head “Wadey” “Anthony” since when did they get on those terms?

I really love it. Like this is probably something that isn’t even that big of a deal, but to me it’s everything.
