"Fred Van Lente has teased that the entire origin of Marvel Comics antihero The Taskmaster will be revealed by the end of his current miniseries. The project has enabled Van Lente to add an extra layer to the intrigue surrounding the character by expanding the mythology surrounding his action mimicry powers. &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t quite sure what to do with him, but then I came up with the idea that his super memory erases his old memories, &amp;quot; Van Lente explained to CBR. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s very much in danger of losing any of the information he recovers about himself in this series.&amp;quot; While the character originally appeared as a minor villain, he recently gained prominence as a trainer in the cancelled Avengers: Initiative and is to appear in that series&amp;#039; spiritual successor Avengers Academy. &amp;quot;Everything about Taskmaster&amp;#039;s origin will be totally explained, and you&amp;#039;ll learn who this mysterious enemy is that&amp;#039;s been spreading rumours,&amp;quot; Van Lente said of the miniseries. Taskmaster will conclude in December. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
