Avengers #196
$85.00
The Taskmaster captures Yellowjacket, Wasp, and Ant-Man, explaining his photographic reflexes and decision to train criminals instead of becoming a supervillain. He kills Dr. Solomon, whose mistakes exposed his school. Meanwhile, Iron Man notices ants signaling the Avengers, who storm the academy. Selbe frees the captive heroes, and a battle ensues. Taskmaster proves formidable but flees rather than fight the Avengers alone. Jocasta blocks his escape, but he blinds the team with a trick arrow and escapes. Captain America later acknowledges Jocasta’s contributions.
