After months of planning, Taskmaster leads his team to infiltrate the S.H.I.E.L.D. Tri-Carrier.

He has his team 'thin the herd' of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Trainees and manipulates the New Warriors into freeing several supervillains led by the Green Goblin (who hired Taskmaster) but Cloak & Dagger are left for dead and defect to Spider-Man's side. As the escaped supervillains fight the New Warriors and the Goblin retrieves the Siege Perilous, Taskmaster personally fights Spider-Man one-on-one but eventually defeated by the web-slinger.
