Ultimate Taskmaster?

Although i'm not a fan of Ultimate Marvel we have seen them take characters like Nuke, Red Skull and a few others and make them pretty damn threatening. I know the Ultimate universe is quite into modifying certain things to fit with the modern age so I highly doubt they would stick to Tasky's classic look but if they based their idea on UDON's version of Taskmaster's suit and tweaked it a bit, it wouldn't take much to create quite a believable character.

So my questions are:

Would you like to see Taskmaster in the Ultimate universe?

If they did put him in what would you like to see different from the 616 version?

What background should he have?

I like the idea of it sure but Ultimate comics have weird need to be over the top instead of realistic and modern or aleast they are straying from realistic to over the top. that said Taskmaster seems like a good get. I'd have him introduced as one of Nick Fury's black ops agents Shang hai ed just like Hawkeye. From there I don't know. Maybe he secretly trained Hawkeye at some point before so they have a history and instead on staying on Taskmaster just ran and eluded SHEILD capture. I mean that sounds impressive considering SHEILDS reach in the ultimate universe. Don't play him as pure villain or hero that way he stays fresh and interesting. Like that old cliche about a man having to hunt down the one guy deadlier than he is and it turns out they know each other. that old hestnuts been fueling action movies forever.IMO

Hmm, I would like Taskmaster to be an deep under cover Shield agent that cannot break cover for nothing. He has to find some crazy secret thing the bad guys have, but due to skills and undercover status keeps running into the good guys and he has to keep his cover and not kill them at the same time.

yah id like it if he were part of SHIELD and maybe had a hand in training some other people, but hes not a good guy or bad guy. he just finds himself in situations where he is set against the 'good guys', i like the idea about not killing people, it makes his missions are little harder.
