Taskmaster vs Punisher and Moon Knight

Taskmaster

vs

Punisher and Moon Knight

No prep.

Morals off.

Fight in a large, empty warehouse. No bystanders.

Basic equipment.

@Vance Astro: well Tasky is kind of a coward lol. When he found out he couldn't hurt Luke Cage he was afraid too.

bump.

Team

Taskmaster could win with his regular equipment but it all depends on how Moon Knight and Punisher work together. Moon Knight has been an Avenger so he knows how to work with others..he's not great at it but he can, Punisher has worked with various heroes for whatever reason, he's never been very good at it either. Punisher is a great shot. With basic equipment, Taskmaster could get shot in the head or somewhere, that would really turn the tables while he's occupied with Moon Knight, or vice versa. Fighting two characters offer tons of scenarios but I always like to think that ganging up on one character gives you the upper hand. I'd go with the team.

This.

But I do think that even if they do not cooperate that they would win.

@Moon_Bat_87: If they do not cooperate they will still win? How? Taskmaster can take either of them one-on-one, they will need to work together to have a chance.

Thats the point, Moon Knight can take either of them one-on-one, so if Castle didnt want to work with Moon Knight, all he (Moon Knight) would have to do is wait for Taskmaster to kill Castle, and the Moon Knight can move in and take Taskmaster down.

@Moon_Bat_87: typo. Meant to say Tasky can take either of them one-on-one.

Oh, well, sorry. I was thinking that you made a typo, but I wasnt sure.

I would still say that Moon Knight can defeat both of them.

@Moon_Bat_87: any proof? If Moon Knight has defeated him before, then I'm ready to call PIS/inconsistency.

bump.

Something interesting I found:

"Taskmaster has said that he finds Moon Knight's style of fighting annoying, as Moon Knight would rather take a punch than avoid it" - http://www.comicvine.com/taskmaster/29-4578/

Shang-Chi has said that Moon Knight is a Formidable opponent.

Also Moon Knight has show the ability to will his broken body to function as if it were normal. He has also been seen once to fight for 80+ minutes. And I do remember reading that he dodged gun fire on multiple occasions, from Nick Fury none the less.

Additionally I think Moon Knight is stronger than Taskmaster.

And then there is this:

See images above, I edited them into my post after you replied to my post.

And yes the writers do try to make it plausible for characters to beat them, and it is often PIS, but it still is canon.

Just because it's canon doesn't mean it's valid in battle forums.

I understand that. But do you believe the images above are PIS?

@Moon_Bat_87: I do. Batman once took an arrow to the shoulder and screamed in pain. In that image Taskmaster shoots him 4 times with a crossbow. twice in the shoulder, once more (doesn't show it landing) and once in the chest. The first in the shoulder is enough to put nearly anyone down. Moon Knight can still go to the very limit of his body without the pain effecting him. So he could take about 2 before he stops. Your body is designed that if you are severely damaged it begins to give up so as to start diverting blood and energy to the damaged parts of your body. Such people as Batman who can come pretty damn close to controlling everything in there body can resist this but the pain can over come most of them anyway. Also the first shot to the chest judging by where it hit him should have either stabbed his heart, scratched it or come very very close. So that one shot alone should put him down.

Well then as of right now, I have no knowledge of Moon Knight being able to defeat Taskmaster if that feat and other suggested PIS are removed.

So, then I would say that Taskmaster would win if Punisher and Moon Knight did not work together.

@TheCheeseStabber: well Tasky wouldn't drop his sword in fear or whatever. That part was stupid.

Team win.

@TheCheeseStabber: He had his sword up against Moon Knight's head, and then he dropped it in 'fear'. Pretty PISy.

Taskmaster has the skill to take both on and dare I say it, with a fair amount of ease too.

Also, a man that has faced down assorted groups of Avengers and had extended fights with Captain America shouldn't be even remotely afraid of Moon Knight.

Just being perfectly honest, just about any Avengers roster has at least one character that would absolutely trash Moon Knight.Whether they be street level or above that.

Well Moon Knight is kind of at the low end of street level superheroes in terms of power. He's just not on the level of guys like Captain America or Wolverine.

Exactly why I said that.

I feel that Moon Knight is underestimated.

He has stood toe to toe with Deadpool, Spiderman, Bullseye, Werewolf By Night, Daredevil, Deadzone, and even Dr. Doom to name a few. Did he win this fights? Not all. And those he did win he had help. But the fact that he can stand toe tot toe with them is impressive.

The problem is that Moon Knight has extremely inconsistent powers. And his current form is not at all his most powerful.

@Moon_Bat_87: I don't think saying he's not on par with Captain America or Wolverine is underestimating him. He's simply not up to par with them. Could he give them a decent fight? Absolutely, but the likelihood of him taking a majority is... well, virtually impossible. I think the same applies for Taskmaster. Now, if someone calls Moon Knight useless, pathetic, untalented, etc... then I'd agree he's being underestimated ;)

Honestly, he hasn't had his powers in ages so I don't even take that into account. For me, the biggest problem is his sorely lacking when it comes to hand-to-hand battles against credible and talented opponents. Daredevil's radar was out of whack when they faced (courtesy of the arcade) and I have major personal gripes with that Deadpool battle. I think Moon Knight (especially in that armor) should give Wade a very solid fight, but Deadpool's enhanced stats, skill feats, healing factor and agility should allow him to take that match. Unfortunately, we had an unharmed Moon Knight walk away as the victor.

I can totally agree with you on this.

@Vance Astro: Man, get you sum engleesh lessuns!

I was essentially saying Taskmaster has no reason to be afraid of Moon Knight - he's fought far worse.

This is a really sad battle because there is absolutely no detailed information given which make all the possible outcomes of the battle.

Taskmaster wins.

Period.

End of story.

The team wins. They are too much for Taskmaster.

If Tasky uses his double speed feat to put one down or incapacitate one long enough to take out the other, he wins. If the team can drag it out, they should manage a win.
