Taskmaster: Agents of SHIELD

No Caption Provided

The concept for his costume started with seeing how Bryan Hitch drew him in Age of Ultron. Got me thinking. I think Taskmaster would be a perfect villain for Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. He wouldn't require a great deal of special effects, and his "costume" is more utilitarian than say Captain America's. So it wouldn't be too out there. I am working on some concepts for him, like variations on his skull mask, but this is my main idea. He wears SHIELD type gear, like Hawkeye's bow, or Blackwidow's gun holsters. He uses a shield like Captain America's only its not painted. He wears a shirt with a hood, sometimes long sleeved and sometimes short. He doesn't have any fancy symbols or customized gear. He has two blades, one a Katana. He also has bows and arrows and a quiver like Hawkeye had in the film. His bow is collapsible so he can store it in his quiver.

My favorite idea in the design I haven't even drawn yet. I think the actor who played Darth Maul and Snakeyes, Ray Park, should play him in the TV show. Taskmaster wouldn't have to talk much anyway, but would require a ton of fighting and an actor who could do that. Plus Ray Park has been in a few things showing he can act. And isn't afraid to hide his face either. The variations on the masks would keep him looking interesting and reveal parts of Ray Park's face too. But i will have to post those later so you can see them. Plus, once the Taskmaster character is popular enough Ray Park could be used in the Avengers movies because he is a movie actor too. Plus his voice could be modified like how Oliver Queen does on Arrow, because I doubt Taskmaster would allow people to hear his real voice if he could avoid it. So, like Darth Maul he could be dubbed in.

In the show I can see him being this ghost, SHIELD doesn't even have any photo of his real face or finger prints, because he has never been caught. He has an eidetic memory allowing him to learn and retain things he learns simply by watching. However this also effects his memory so he eventually forgets other things, for example who he is or his life past a few months ago. Just like in the comics. His mind could work similar to Captain America's where it absorbs knowledge or any kind, not just fighting, but anything he learns like battle strategy.

I see him being a character who was off the grid for a long time and suddenly reemerges. It turns out he was teaching mercenaries how to fight in his secret school. He works for whoever pays, no alliances to any terrorist groups, but would work for them if they paid. He comes out of retirement and the Agents of SHIELD have to figure out why and stop him/catch him.

During his fight scenes he could copy Agent Ward's fighting style, and Agent May's, and Agent Coulson's, and even reference the Avengers movies by using Cap's fighting style, or Thor's, or even the Winter Soldier's and Black Widow.
