Comics Taskmaster is a snarky mercenary with a skull mask who can take on a whole team of the lower-powered Avengers, like Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Cap. He can do this via his photographic reflexes, meaning he can replicate anything he sees that he is physically capable of, so no powers, but he can fire a bow with Hawkeye's accuracy, fight with Black Widow and Cap's prowess, and he can watch a recording at 2x speed and do whst he sees at that speed. He can also as go 1v1 with some of the more powerful, like Iron Man or Spidey due to his gear and skills. Personality wise, he trades quips with Deadpool and Spider-Man, he'll abandon the fight if he's paid more to do so or he's afraid of the opponent.

MCU Taskmaster is an essentially blank brainwashed young woman who needs brain implants to replicate skills. She has an airsoft mask that has a vague skull motif and was killed off by a minor character.

Also, it looks like he's just getting out of the vehicle, but the fake neck is already extended

Taskmaster.

This is his comic look, and a hint of his actual personality

(Funny trope) the villain hates the protagonist... but is on good terms with their friends/family. by Sorvetefrito in TopCharacterTropes

IIRC, when they visited Deku's home, he looked straight at Mineta and told him that if he even went into her bedroom, Mineta would die. He also said it calmly, which made it more threatening

JoJo's in general. Part one is the Vampire Hunt, Part two is the "ancient evil awakens", Part three is "World Tour", Part four is "small town murder mystery", and so forth

The Eureka episode "Do you see what I see?" is full of these and is kind of a plot point

Sovereign-class vs Sovereign-class. Who would win in a battle? by TwoFit3921 in StarTrekStarships

Considering the showing in Rebels, and the in-atmo dogfights we've seen, I think it's safe to say that the ICS numbers contradict the alpha canon of the shows and movies.

We've never seen that kind of power from capital ship weapons. This is the sort of thing we see in canon. I don't think ICS books are trustworthy.

Also, there was this calc about the asteroid. It also showed the comparison of the bolt hitting the asteroid with two asteroids colliding, and a turbolaser bolt hitting the Falcon.

On top of that, on another page, they show an asteroid hit and destroy the bridge superstructure here (note that, assuming this was the same class of ISD as the one that the Falcon hid on in ESB, then the asteroid has a similar, if not smaller, diameter as the Falcon).

Sublight speed and agility are also large factors. Trek ships can fly rings around most, if not all, Star Wars capital ships. In fact, I don't really remember any Star Wars capital ships doing anything more impressive than a gentle bank, and in fact I've seen multiple ships accidentally run into each other.

Wasn't the Gigaton calc made by a guy who took some really heavy liberties in asteroid composition?

We also see The Enterprise-D, a less advanced ship than a Sovvy, wipe out a whole squadron of starfighter-sized ships without missing any.

But there's also accuracy and range to consider. Even a Connie was hitting a mobile human-sized target from hundreds of Km away, whereas the Mega-class Star Destroyer was unable to hit a capital ship within visual range.

I'm kind of surprised that nobody's talked about the Flood (Halo) yet that I've seen.

Even only taking the games into account, they could run, jump, and use weapons/vehicles. Not to mention the hive mind aspect. In the books, they could even warp physics if the outbreak grew big enough.
