No Iron Fist for Iron Fist. Remember that Taskmaster has learned numerous martial arts already..and even Spider-Man and Daredevils acrobatics. And for this match, he was given twenty minutes of observation from Captain America and Wild Cat.
Danny wins. Danny is still one of the top Martial Arts Masters in the Marvelverse and he knows some many different styles. twenty minutes is not going to be enough for Taskmaster to learn anything particuraly useful.
Well it depends does Danny knows he is on film because if he knows he could easily practice moves that he doesn't plan to use also when you know as many styles as Danny, you can just keep switching.
"Can he really duplicate Spider-Man's parker isn't a normal human. Can he use it at the same level? "
No. He can duplicate the moves, only he lacks the strength, and speed of spider-man, so he can not do it to the same degree. "
Here he duplicates Daredevils skills perfectly.
And duplicates Peter's skills for a smooth getaway."
He can duplicate the moves, however he is only human so he is not supposed to be able to move, or lift at superhuman levels. Like if Taskmaster watched Spider-Man throw a truck, he would not be able to do it. Spider-Man can move faster, and jump higher, with more ease... I suspect there was a low degree of CIS in this scan.
@Xavier St. Cloud:I never meant he could duplicate their physical attributes, though there are some moves that require him to move several times than a normal human being can. If you want..I have scans.

No it's fine, I know. I just thought you were saying he could duplicate their physical attributes. Taskmaster just like anyother hero/villian, some more than others have done things in comics that they should not be able to do, that is just a comic thing, we get used to it. If it happens enough it becomes cannon. However if you want to post some more Taskmaster scans, I am not against that either.
And here (Move from bottom and up) After being completely exhausted still managed to catch a bullet.
Here in this scan, you can see despite his exhausted state, he was able to still use his martial arts skill and defeat his opponent, and even mentioning hes moving twice as the human body was designed to go.
Taskmaster all the way. Iron Fist is great and all but Taskmaster is one of the most under rated characters. I think he should win comfortably against most opponents in straight combat though he was beaten by deadpool who decided to fight with no dicernable style what so ever.
If Danny has the rest of his Chi powers besides the Ironfist I'd give it to him, if it's just martial artist vs. martial artist Tasky takes this, he can move at superhuman speed, if briefly, with out his Chi powers Danny can't keep up with that.
What I think is interesting is thinking about, is there ANY character Taskmaster can't beat in H2H? Obviously he can match anyone's skills. And yet, if I was thinking about a battle like Taskmaster vs Batman, I'd go with Batman, because not only is he very skilled (something TM can match), he's also a very tactically intelligent fighter (which, as far as I know, TM can't match). I may be wrong about this, and if so, I'd be glad to see any scans or whatever that show Tasky can learn fighting smarts as well as skills. But that's how I see it. Since I'd put Iron Fist in the same realm as Batman, in terms of being a smart fighter, I'll go with Iron Fist for the win.
Iron Fist as I think he is physically better at martial arts as he actually does them which should make his body stronger and more flexible at doing them. If Tasky can use his short term double speed, he has a chance. It is when you start adding weapons sword/shield/bow and arrows/shurikan is when Tasky gets really nasty. Combining Swordsman/Hawkeye/Bullseye/martial arts makes him really tough.

He hasn't beaten many, so it's hard to say.
Well, that's the other important point about him. On CV, he's treated pretty highly, but in comics he doesn't actually win all that often. It may be due to plot necessity, or random luck, or strategy, or whatever, but he's hardly undefeated.

A villain's job is to lose. Otherwise all the heroes would be dead over time.
@henryarguelles5: Not completely true. Taskmaster doesn't just duplicate moves, he's been shown to string them together, even combining them in mid-jump, in ways conventional fighters wouldn't even think of.
Taskmaster's only weakness is in his character. Even with his photographic reflexes, he would always lose if he didn't have the tactical ability and know-how of a fighting genius.
That said, Iron Fist will probably bring up Taskmaster's philosophy for fighting, show him the flaw in it, and beat him while he's still trying to wrap his head around why he's fighting.

hmm double speed techniques sounds pretty dang useful, huh and we all know tasky doesn't fight fair, so im giving this to taskmaster, no training can dull the hit of a shield to the face
