9. Taskmaster – Black Widow (2021)
Fan-favorite villain Taskmaster, a master of mimicry in the fighting styles, was woefully underutilized in Black Widow. The movie twist exposed Taskmaster to be Antonia Dreykov, devoid of the character's usual charm and wit. Though the backstory was a personal reason for Natasha Romanoff, it lacked emotional content and made Taskmaster a mute, robotic henchwoman. Her potential as a strategic and potent foe was not utilized because of weak writing. Fans felt shortchanged since it did not do justice to the comics, neither did it portray dynamic fight sequences that can exhibit Taskmaster's special ability.
