==Powers and Abilities==
 
The Taskmaster permanently acquired his powers and abilities after ingested a "mnemonic primer", a chemical serum which altered and enhanced his brain chemistry to make him hypercognitive especially in the area of skill observation and retention.
 
=== Powers ===
 
* '''Photographic Reflexes:''' The Taskmaster's superhuman abilities is that of his photographic reflexes. He was able to duplicate almost any physical act he sees after seeing it done by someone else only once.
 
* '''Superhuman Mimicry:'''Taskmaster after watching a video on fast-forward he is able to duplicate the moves at a greatly increased velocity, effectively giving him a form of super-speed.
 
* '''Physical Movement Prediction:''' He can also do things such as figuring out the sleight of hand techniques of a master poker cheater simply by watching them. He has often shown the ability to actually predict an opponent's next move before they make it if he has studied their fighting style enough. Opponents who are skilled at improvisational fighting styles, or who have a more random unpredictable style are less likely to have their moves predicted by Taskmaster.
 
* '''Photogenic memory-''' This power allows him to copy ''any ''melee fight move no matter what it is. He can also memorize any area with ease which allow him to move anywhere quickly even pitch-black darkness, as long as everything was where it was when he first saw it.
 
* '''Kinetic Memory:''' His mind works in the same way as a computer with unlimited storage capacity, only much faster. He is able to perform several mental functions at once without losing focus on any of them. Also, it allows him to instantly recall specific information with incredible speed and accuracy. He's able to store everything that he experiences in a photographic memory and retrieve it immediately without the typical human pause for thought. The sheer speed of his thoughts lead into augmenting his analytic ability so that he is able to make snap decisions about his surroundings and create complex scenarios at that same speed. Taskmaster is able to track the probability of an event by piecing together stored data.
 
* '''Multitasking:''' Taskmaster is able to perform multiple tasks at once by allocating a partition of his brain to each task. For example, Taskmaster can use his mind to replay a video he had watched previously, plan for the future, and focus on battling an opponent without any one task distracting him from another.
 
* '''Perception''': He can perfectly read the facial expressions, body language of other, and figure out their thoughts and feelings, reading someone like a book. He has mastered his ability to interrogate others without them knowing, he can get even answers without asking directly.This ability extends to being able to psychologically profile people based on a sample of their handwriting.
 
* '''Photographic Deduction:''' He can intuitively observe environment and deduces any connections to situations and process them extremely fast. He possesses amazing skills of observation noticing even the smallest, and fastidious details without effort. He also possesses incredible skills of deduction and information processing of anything he's seen. He can figure out connections in whatever the he is investigating and process them extraordinarily fast.
 
Taskmaster can use this ability to master complex gymnastics routines and play difficult pieces of music. However, he typically prefers to use this ability to copy the combat skills, both armed and unarmed, of costumed crime-fighters and expert martial artists from around the world, typically seen through watching videos of them in combat situations. He can also copy the subtle muscle movements of others so precisely that he can at times do things such as copying another persons voice so precisely as to fool voice recognition software.
