No, it's plot induced stupidity. The FF shouldn't be stupid enough to trust Daken, given that his father is easy to contact. Tyger Tyger wouldn't/shouldn't feel threatened by Daken, given that, again, she knows his father. And X-23 had no reason to trust Daken would destroy Weapon X.
Time and again, we see people who have no reason to trust Daken, and shoul;d know all his dirty secrets, turn their back for him eagerly, and situations that could be resolved with one phone call (him taking over Mandipoor) left outstanding.
Either Daken's coming out of this with a few new bruises and a scratch that'll never quite heal, or the two of them just end up watching episodes of Chuck in the back of the drug-truck there.
I read it as a sexually charged hatred - the best of both worlds!
Also why am I not reading this title already? :D Actually I sort of the know the answer to that one - for some reason I didn't know it was a currently running book.
Daken fights like Daken, with a hint of Wolverine.
Taskmaster fights like EVERYONE, including Daredevil, Captain America AND Wolverine, and whatever moves Daken makes, Taskmaster instantly learns and incorporates.
Having a bit of trouble imagining how Daken can win, to be honest.
Taskmaster might fight like DD, Wolverine etc. but he doesn't have their physical ability or powers. In theory, Daken could just soak up the damage, depending on whether or not Taskmaster's thought of a way to counter a healing factor.
Which, given how many dangerous people out with one, he really oughta know by now. Since he worked with Norman during Dark Reign, Tasky should also know about Daken and his general ability. So we'll see.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
