Doom wins.
I'd like to say Nimrod would win. It all depends on how many nukes get set off durring the fight. It might be a double KO.
Taskmaster is like "Nimrod, there is a mutant inside that nuclear missile." and Nimrod goes to check it out and Taskmaster sets off the nuke.
It is a flawless plan.
As much as I like TM, and debated to get him by Bullseye, I don't see him going any further. Even if Nimrod can't survive a nuclear blast, neither can Taskmaster. He's pretty fucked any way you look at it. Nimrod probably advances here.
Nimrod is a robot. Taskmaster has the combined experience of the avengers and every fighter in marvel besides Deadpool, basically.
With the advantage of bursts of super-speed that Taskmaster has, I don't see Nimrod being able to out-maneuver taskmaster. Taskmaster, however, can presumably trap Nimrod in the nuke silo and set it off while he is safe and sound in a bunker.
also, doom versus a guy who can make you get cold and is an 'adequate' shot with antique pistols? sounds like doom's going down like a bitch
a) Nimrod freezes after seeing Taskmaster perform a super-human feat like double speed and scanning him to determine his superhuman abilities, and scanning, and scanning, and scanning. Taskmaster draws a great deal from martial artists who utilize things like chi and spiritual energy which a robot would be unable to understand or cope with.
b) Nimrod doesn't hunt humans, so he just leaves.
c) Taskmaster blows Nimrod up and runs off with his head.
d) "Could God make a burrito so big that even he couldn't eat it?"
e) Blow Nimrod up first, so the split second between his death and Task's is enough to constitute a win.
It's not your high school chem lab.
The whole thing.
do you really think it takes that long for nimrod to scan someone? or that he can only do one thing at a time?
let me put it like this. my computer is running firefox and itunes at the same time, and nimrod is way more badass than my computer
Taskmaster doesn't have powers, so Nimrod keeps scanning for something that isn't there.
he doesn't have an entry for 'unpowered' then
pretty bad design, guys who programmed nimrod!
And Taskmaster watches lots of tv, so he's probably seen that episode of Futurama.
it seems like it would depend on how it was programmed. i mean, if it had to answer any question posed and there was no answer available, then it could lead to some kind of crash, but if the machine was sentient, it could just say fuck you and keep on killin'
basically i don't think it should work on ultron, even though it does
Change it to, "Can a mutant who can make burritos too big to eat and eat a burrito of any size make a burrito so big even he cannot eat it?"
could god make a burrito so hot even he could not eat it YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE MAYBE IT WILL KILL ALL MUTANTS IGNORE THE FACT THAT THIS IS A DEATHMATCH BETWEEN YOU AND ME I LOVE YOU!
"ASSESSING QUESTION.
QUESTION IRRELEVANT TO PRIME DIRECTIVE OF KILL ALL MUTANTS.
QUESTION IGNORED."
Irrelevant, since Taskmaster's not a mutant and Nimrod was designed to attack mutants.
This confuses me, considering he got by Mysterio.
Who is also not a mutant.
How would he determine the irrelevance of the question, though, without determining the worth of the answer as well as the question itself?
And this is comic book land so nano bots, gentic enhancment, missle defense thingies, robots of every shape and size and a zillion other Sci-Fi nerd erection makers should be avaliable to Tasky.
i don't care how many people taskmaster watches, he couldn't beat juggernaut
also, who beat juggernaut in the competition? anyone?
is he even in it?
juggs was in the other competition, and was thus rendered ineligible
he talks about it in his own mini
just because he can shoot a three pointer, it doesn't mean he's a basketball star
just because he can dive like an olympic gold medalist doesn't mean he can swim
he's in excellent shape, and he can move like pretty much anyone, but he does not necessarily have the training and combat skills of captain america or wolverine. he takes their moves, not their knowledge of how to use them best.
How did Nimrod beat Juggernaut?
And Taskmaster doesn't have their training, but that doesn't mean his own experiences and training are somehow meaningless. He's the world's foremost mercenary for a reason.
he's a regular guy who can move superfast for maybe seconds before he collapses
versus
a robot that beat juggernaut
also, t robosagogo: I don't remember how Nimrod beat Juggernaut exactly, but Nimrod sure did easily kick his ass. It was a fully-powered Juggernaut too, which I suppose is relevent to this debate. Also, Juggernaut isn't a mutant either, so I guess Nimord occassionally fights non-mutants, like if they're dicks or whatever. To temper Nimrod's victory over Juggs though, I think immediately afterwards Nimrod got beat by a young Rogue who absorbed at least Collossus's and Nightcrawler's powers, and maybe some of the other X-men too.
Edit: Nice work Servo. Also, Juggernaut sure is an emo bitch.
And Nimrod shouldn't have been able to beat Juggernaut.

Its sad. I love me some taskmaster but theres no way he's going to beat Nimrod.
Sorry TM...
The strength of his chi was enhanced, granted, but that doesn't change the fact that he's utilizing a natural source of energy present in all humans to perform extraordinary feats.
GG was able to summon ghost in the past, right? Just exactly where, did these spirits come from? If they were just chilling in GG's mansion or whatever, it isn't relevant to this fight, but if GG called those dudes from hell, he could literally have "spiritual support" in this fight.
More importantly, isn't Doom's Mother in hell? If ghost could get to her before Doom, he could use her as a hostage/barganing chip.
As for TM vs. Nimrod, TM has a fairly sensable way of winning:
Step one: Run the hell away from Nimrod.
Step two: Find nuclear warhear/missle/some other thing that makes a cataclysmic explosion.
Step three: lure Nimrod to location of aforementioned explosive, and stand in front of it.
Step four: argue to Nimrod that the risk to human life derived from fighting at the site in question is too great to continue fighting. TM will have to talk pretty fast here to convince Nimrod of this, but it's been done before:
Point is, he CAN be reasoned with.
I'm probably still going to vote for Nimrod, simply because this scenario is really, really implausible, but hey, I figured I'd throw it out.
