Taskmaster: The Man Who Copies the World and Forgot Himself | Marvel Echoes Podcast Ep. 44
Description
In Episode 44 of Marvel Echoes Resonance, we fracture the mind of Marvel’s deadliest mimic: The Taskmaster. From his debut as a trainer of henchmen to the heartbreaking revelation of his "photographic reflexes" in Taskmaster: Unthinkable, we explore the tragedy of a man who trades his memories for skills.
Today we break down Tony Masters' origin as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, his heartbreaking relationship with Mercedes Merced, and his legacy as the teacher of both Captain America's replacement (U.S. Agent) and his killer (Crossbones).
