Taskmaster VS Iron Fist

The CQC fight starts in an empty warehouse that is 15,000 sq feet with plenty of obstacles and cover, no morals or prep, they start at 15 feet away. Win is declared by KO or Death. Taskmaster gets the wrist-mounted device from SHIELD, and Iron Fist has his chi.

So Taskmaster is allowed his Udon tech? Can he double speed as well?

Damn taskmaster is my man, but in a CQC match against Iron fist i don't think he can best him. unless taskmaster has studied Iron fist before the match i don't see him winning.

Chi may be a bit too much, with it he was able to punch through Colossus

Agreed. Task can't copy chi. It's a person's life energy, hell, it's as close to seeing your soul as it's going to get. Danny will destroy Masters with skill alone. The Chi boost his already peak physical abilities, and makes the man a virtual juggernaut. He has destroyed a Helicarrier. Fist wins 8/10. Maybe some prep would work better in Tony's favor.

No Morals Iron Fist with Chi? Against a peak human?

Seems ok to me.

My moneys on Iron Fist.

@dondave: I don't think he punched through colossus, i think he just knocked him on his ass.

Seeing how strong Iron Fist chi is, yes its both vs eachother with thier best stats.

he did take down the helicarrier with one punch

@joeagentofhand1: That was fun.

@Cable_Extreme: ?

@joeagentofhand1: I ment that was fun to read. Sorry lol.

Iron Fist has some pretty insane reaction time. He has been fast enough to disarm a man before his bullet could leave the gun. That is pretty damn impressive. Not to mention one chi-amped punch or kick would seriously damage Taskmaster. Also, Iron Fist has beaten Mr. X, who has similar abilities. He just unleashed a chi attack and overwhelmed him. I see the same thing happening here.

@Cable_Extreme: my bad that was the ultimate universe version I think

@OmgOmgWtfWtf: Do you think all of the copied fighting skills Taskmaster has copied and his device from shield won't compensate? Im in Mix Martial Arts and speed means nothing when you have alot of skill, now don't get me wrong, Iron Fist has alot of skill, but taskmaster is so versitile in his fighting styles that i see him landing alot more hits. Though idk who would win so thats why i made this, it was pretty even in my mind.

Not mainstream but he did in a variant universe Exiles Universe.

@Quartermaim: Classic Iron Fist was strong enough to send Colossus flying through a wall with a kick.

@Cable_Extreme: In real life terms, speed is not everything, but when the opposing guy can down a hellicarrier with a single blow and destroy parts of a building with a shockwave of a kick, it makes a big difference. Speed is deadly if you are capable of connecting strong blows with it. I don't doubt Taskmaster would be able to dodge and block some moves, but once Iron Fist decides to use his chi. It's pretty much over. You can't really dodge a radial move like what Iron Fist can dish out. He has done a 360 chi blast before.

Taskmaster is a better skilled h2h fighter and faster. A better fighter in general.

He should have this.

@OmgOmgWtfWtf: Taskmasters shield wouldn't stop his blast?

In this fight, I'd say Iron Fist for sure.

@Cable_Extreme: Unless that shield can hold up to a blow which downed a hellicarrier then I really don't see it doing much. Even if he did manage to block it, the amount of force being released would still break his bones. Shields can only absorb so much kinetic impact before the rest is channeled through the arm. For example, Kevlar prevents a small caliber bullet from entering the body, but doesn't stop you from feeling the force of the shot. So even if Taskmaster is able to block it, he's still going to feel some of the impact. Taskmaster only has human level durability.

Taskmaster makes use of a variety of weapons. He frequently employs a throwing shield like Captain America, a multipurpose billy club like Daredevil, a bow which uses a variety of trick arrows like Hawkeye, a sword like Black Knight, and web-shooters like Spider-Man. None of the copies are as high quality as the originals. So the question is, does the shield act like a lesser form of vibranium or is it metal?

Wait a minute.......wait just one minute!!!!!!!!! If taskmaster has access to weaponry then he has a chance here. In h2h ill give this to iron fist. But If taskmaster has access to guns, bows, swords, shields and everything else he has used in battle. He could beat iron fist.

@Cable_Extreme: The regular shield he carries around is not even bullet proof. Taskmaster just doesn't have the durability necessary to survive a single blow of Iron Fist with chi. Since both people have fought each other before, I would see Danny trying to end this match as quickly as possible knowing full well of Taskmaster's copying technique.

Why do u assume taskmaster will engage iron fist if he is gonna use chi. Taskmaster will keep his distance and shoot him. Which is not difficult for him to do

The op says its a CQC fight and he has his wrist-mounted device from shield (I'm not really aware of what that is but does it have any range?)

@jashro44: His shield can be thrown like Captain America's, but I doubt it has the durability level to fend off an assault by Iron Fist.

@ghost_rider1: You really think arrows are going to work against the guy who casually catches bullets with his hands? If they don't work on Captain American it isn't going to help here.

I don't like using ABC logic, but Taskmaster got wrecked by Mister X, despite having all of his equipment. Mister X was one shotted by Iron Fist with a chi punch. I really see the same thing happening here.

I really don't see him tanking this level of power.

My scans got cut off for some reason here is the second one:

@jashro44: It's an energy gauntlet he stole from SHIELD. It lets him create solid weapons out of energy, and he uses it to make replicas of things like Cap's Shield, Daredevil's Billy Clubs, Spider-Man's webbing, Wolverine's Claws, etc.

A few scans:

@jashro44: I understand that Taskmaster is using his SHIELD mounted wrist device. I was answering a question pertaining to his regular shield, not the energy shield he used in Udon. I was asked if his shield was made out of vibranium or metal, I said that his shield is not bulletproof, thus could not be made out of vibranium. His SHIELD mounted device has not durability feats to go by and has been shown that it can be tossed like Captain America's shield and produce a variety of weapons.

Iron Fist

@ghost_rider1: How does marksmanship have to do with Iron Fist catching a bullet? If he's fast enough to catch a bullet with ease, an arrow would be even easier. Marksmanship only makes you accurate, it doesn't ensure that your bullet is going to connect. The contestants start 15 feet from each other, Taskmaster won't have the distance to start shooting arrows. Iron Fist can cover that distance in a blink of an eye. Also where are you getting the notion that Iron Fist needs to charge up his chi to attack? It takes no more than a thought for him to activate it.

Iron Fist can keep up with Spider-man, which goes to show how quick, durable and strong he is.

iron fist wins...taskmater can copy someone's fighting style but if the combined skills are not on par or better than iron fist he losess

No. Danny's more skilled. The only reason anyone might think Taskmaster's in the same ballpark is due to his photographic reflexes.

Unless Tasky's double speeding, which he can't do for long, Danny's also faster.

And he has his chi. You know, the thing he used to crash a SHIELD Heli-Carrier with a single punch.

@OmgOmgWtfWtf Iron Fist did catch a sniper bullet...but whoever fired that round don't have the marksmanship of taskmaster. And captain america has his shield to block incoming bullets. Iron fist has nothin moree than his body. Taskmaster has copied the bullseye and hawkeye marksmanship skills. It won't be hard for taskmaster to just shoot him and iron fist have to be close to hit taskmaster that hard. And he also need time to focus his power...which is time he won't have

I don't get how being a better Marksman would have stopped Danny from catching the bullet regardless even if it was aimed at a different spot. Not only that, but Danny was drugged at the time he caught that bullet.

But besides the point, in a simulation where they had Iron Fist try to assassinate the New Avengers, they had Danny play out scenarios that he could perform and he showed that he could wave, chi charge and send bullets back.

There are probably more times he has performed similar feats. It's not like Danny doesn't have projectiles that Taskmaster would have to deal with either.

Here he spins and blasts a group of men that had circled around him.

Here he blasts a guy 10 or more feet away with his chi blast again.

I don't think Taskmaster has that much of a range advantage over Danny.
