The Taskmaster (real name Tony Masters) is a supervillain from Marvel Comics. He is a supervillain who has photographic reflexes, meaning he is able to copy his enemy's moves just by watching his targets.

Created by writer David Michelinie and artist George Pérez, the character made his debut in The Avengers #195 (May 1980). A female version of Taskmaster named Antonia Dreykov appears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Black Widow (2021), portrayed by Olga Kurylenk

He usually serves as an enemy of the Avengers Black Widow, Captain America, and Hawkeye, Spider-Man, Moon Knight, and an on/off ally of Deadpool
