Toni Dreykov (Russian: Тони Дрейкова), also known as Taskmaster, is the son of General Dreykov, who possesses uncanny photographic reflexes that allow his to mimic the fighting techniques of other individuals. Having been gravely injured during an assassination attempt on his father, Antonia had his mind and body controlled by a chip, turning her into Taskmaster. Becoming the Red Room's commander, Taskmaster had been ordered by her father to track down Yelena Belova, who had taken their Red Dust and could free the other Black Widows. This put Taskmaster on a collision course with the person who nearly killed his years earlier, Natasha Romanoff. However, as Romanoff had successfully killed Dreykov and destroyed the Red Room Academy, Taskmaster was exposed to the Red Dust, freeing his mind from Dreykov's control and allowing her to then escape in order to rebuild his life.
