COSTUME GALLERY
1) Taskmaster’s classic gear is a midnight-blue body suit, white trunks, boots and gloves, and orange half-sleeves, chest piece and clasps for his orange cape. He also wore a white skull mask beneath a white hood. On top of all this, he wore a number of holsters, sleeves and clasps for the various weapons he employed. Taskmaster traditionally armed himself with versions of Captain America’s shield, Daredevil’s billy club, Black Knight’s sword, Hawkeye’s bow and arrows, Punisher’s .45 pistol, and grappling rope which he could employ like Spider-Man’s webbing.

-) While an applicant for the Frightful Four, Taskmaster and his partners Deadpool and Constrictor were forced to wear duck-yellow training costumes by the Wizard. [Deadpool (2nd series) #35]
-) Taskmaster made a one-time horrific palette swap for his classic costume, in shades of purple, gold and orange. It was mercifully short-lived. [Deadpool (2nd series) #2]
2) Taskmaster’s tactical gear as a lone mercenary consisted of a midnight blue jump suit and hoodie. He wore gray-accented boots, gloves, holsters and bits of armor for protection. A modified version of his skull mask now served as a tactical helmet. Taskmaster appropriated a photon emitter gauntlet once used by Captain America to create an energy shield. Modifications now allowed him to manifest other hard light weapons, like Spider-Man’s webbing, Wolverine’s claws, or Elektra’s sai. An image inducer allowed Taskmaster to wear this suit in public while holographically appearing to be a normal man in normal attire. [Taskmaster (1st series) #1]
-) After leaving Agency X, Taskmaster reverted to his classic costume. [Moon Knight (5th series) #3]
3) As Minister of Defense for A.I.M. Island, Taskmaster adopted a look which blended his classic attire with A.I.M. colors. He wore a black body suit with a tightly-fitted yellow sleeveless vest over it. He also wore yellow sleeves and white boots, gloves and his traditional white hoodie and death-skull mask. Taskmaster typically didn’t carry as many weapons as before, but he maintained a belt and straps holding as least a sword and pistol. [Secret Avengers (2nd series) #2]
4) Briefly, Taskmaster adopted a modified costume that mixed his classic imagery with something resembling a Grail knight. His skull mask now had empty eye sockets and he wore a massive chest plate with a ‘T’ on it. Some of his equipment had practical improvements as well, like a taser charge for people who grappled with him, or a new sword able to deliver immense force. [Spider-Men II #1]
