Taskmaster, whose real name is Tony Masters, is a complex Marvel Comics character primarily known as a mercenary and trainer of other villains. He possesses the unique ability of photographic reflexes, allowing him to perfectly mimic any physical action he observes.

His origin is shrouded in mystery. It is believed he received an experimental serum during his time as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, granting him his mimicking powers but also causing memory loss. This amnesia makes it difficult for him to maintain long-term relationships or even remember his own past fully.

Taskmaster's primary occupation involves training aspiring criminals and even organizations in combat techniques. He runs academies and provides his services to the highest bidder, often coming into conflict with heroes like Captain America, Spider-Man, and the Avengers. While usually an antagonist, he occasionally works with heroes for his own purposes or monetary gain, making him a morally ambiguous figure in the Marvel Universe.
