Early Years
Anthony "Tony" Masters was one of the best agents the C.I.A. has to offer. At one point, he was sent in a covert operation (secretly ordered by S.H.I.E.L.D., under the U.S. Government's authorization) in an attempt to resurrect the United States O.S.S. program previously by the J.I.O.A., formerly known as Operation Paperclip. During the mission, he and several other agents was sent to recruit several German scientists, engineers, and technicians (many of whom were formerly and were secretly registered members and leaders of the Nazi-based organization, Hydra, but was only told to the C.I.A. that it was only the Nazi-Party and not Hydra).

During one of their missions, Tony secretly discovers an old Nazi bunker after trying to recruit a former German scientist (secretly a Hydra scientist) in his home. In the bunker, he discovered a few hanging blueprints, some colored liquid contained in test tubes, which is revealed to be serum similar to the Super Soldier Serum, the same ones used by Hydra and the Soviet into brainwashing and turning soldiers, including Bucky Barnes into the Winter Soldiers. After finding out, he immediately reported his discovery to his fellow agents, but all of them were all shot and killed except for Tony, but was still injured during the shootings.

Experimentation
To be added.
 * Powers = Combat Mimicry: The Taskmaster acquired his abilities after ingested a "mnemonic primer", a chemical serum which altered his brain chemistry to make him hypercognitive in the area of skill observation and retention.
 * Photographic Reflexes
 * Near-Superhuman Mimicry
 * Physical Movement Prediction

The Taskmaster is not capable of duplicating a physical feat if the effort to do so requires superhuman effort. For instance, while he could view an opponent lifting a car, he could not do so because his body can't duplicate the superhuman strength required to do so. In the same way, he cannot duplicate any energy manipulating or projecting capabilities for the same reasons.
