20 comic book characters who would challenge John Wick
By Mark Lynch
9. Taskmaster
Taskmaster is an interesting character. A lot of his ability and confidence depends on the writer. Sometimes, Taskmaster is a coward: One time Moon Knight scared him in a way we’ve never seen. Other times he’s the scary one. Spider-Man and Captain America both know how dangerous he can be.
A guy who can execute a move perfectly after seeing it once isn’t someone to be messed with. He can move with the agility of Daredevil and Spider-Man, throw a punch like Mike Tyson, kick like Bruce Lee and Iron Fist and swing a sword like Black Knight. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
He knows when to use these moves as well. That is the part people forget. He’s not just a move thief, he’s very skilled in his own right.
Taskmaster wins 9 out of 10 fights
We’ve seen that John Wick can handle all sorts of attacks. He’s beaten ninjas, gunslingers, and all sorts of other fighters. How does he defeat someone who can do everything Wick’s faced on top of everything Wick does as well?
The truth is that it’s doubtful Wick could beat Taskmaster. The first thing Taskmaster would do is find footage of Wick. After that, it’s only a matter of tracking him down. Wick would have to kill Taskmaster the first chance he got. Otherwise, Taskmaster just got 14 million dollars richer.
