As the 2011 Taskmaster miniseries reveals, Taskmaster didn’t get his photographic reflexes until was an adult. Also, he continually loses his older memories and lies to cover this up. Therefore, the childhood Taskmaster flashback in this issue didn’t happen, and he’s lying about it. The other flashback where he studies heroes’ fighting moves did happen, though.
