He was a badass in the Avengers series but the Deadpool writers turned him into a joke. Mister X made him look like a jackass in Wolverine's series also.
If this was Tasky written properly he might give Bruce a hard fight but in the end he relies too much on copying fighting styles and isn't too bright.

Well George Perez who created both Deathstroke and Taskmaster created Tasky to be a Marvel counterpart to Deathstroke. But Tasky obvious did not catch on as well
" Team 1 Deathstroke has resistance to psionics and Bats can fight with a blank mind giving him an advantage over X Even if neither could beat X, Tasky isn't going to last long in this fight, then its two on one and X can't read two sets of thoughts at once "

Mister X is most likely not going to be able to be effective against Pre 52 Deathstroke due to Slade's enhanced mind and the effect it has on telepathy used on him possibly cancelling out X's telepathy, but I also suppose you could argue that someone like Wolverine has extremely powerful telepathic shields in his head and Mister X was fully capable of reading and dancing around him. Personally, I would say that if Mister X went for Batman and Taskmaster went for Deathstrke, Tony and X would definitely win. Bruce is not going to be able to handle someone whom has utterly humiliated Wolverine and Taskmaster as if they were newbs, and is going to be a step ahead of him at each turn. Only thing I would say might hinder him is the jobber aura he picked up in his last few issues, but I think his overall showings demonstrate he's a complete animal. And on the otherhand, even if one argues that Deathstroke's stats should give him an edge over Taskmaster like it usually does in his fights against skilled fighters, given Tony's skill set, he's capable of giving Slade a great fight and stalling him much better than Batman will with Mister X.
A fight between X and T'Challa(Current) or X and Cassandra? How would that go?
Also what versatility X brings besides his physical stats?
For T'Challa, gear or no gear? If no gear, I'd personally back Mister X for a very strong majority. He's no slouch in the martial talent when you consider the fact that he has mastered every Earth based martial art along with some alien martial arts from the Kree Empire, and T'Challa really has no answer to the one step ahead advantage Mister's telepathy gives him which has allowed him to run circles around guys like Wolverine and Taskmaster whom are in T'Challa's league stat wise. If with gear, I think I'd still back X. The only real chance T'Challa has to go pick up a victory would be a sneak attack with his teleporter, but when you consider that X has easily evaded Wolverine while purposely turning his back to him, I don't think T'Challa can pull off a teleporter sneak attack for a majority. Cassandra will do better due to body reading, but I think the low end telepathy X has should trump her ability overall.
In terms of fighting, X's style is pretty much based around his low end telepathy in combination with his martial talent. It honestly makes it extremely difficult to beat him H2H unless your physical stats greatly surpass his.
@wolverine08: Mister X biggest mistake is bragging about his abilities, he's done it to almost every person he has fought. This is the reason why Danny was able to fight instinctively with a blank state of mind.
I feel Bruce might be able to do the same, although it would be difficult, might have to give X a slight majority. So I think it's still a toss up imo due to Batman figuring out a way to fight X, or Slade fighting X first like you said.

MIster X's braggart personality changing outcome of the battle depends on the opponent he's facing and how their abilities match up to his. The reason why him bragging about his powers ended up blowing up in his face against Iron Fist was because Danny had the perfect counter to his power. I don't think Bruce really has a way to divert X's nervous system/low level telepathy even if he knew how it worked. I don't believe he's shown that he can fight just using pure instinct like an Iron Fist or Wolverine.
@wolverine08: I hate to say this but it is Batman, he's usually good at figuring things like that out. But like I said, it just helps him from getting stomped, not take a majority.
