Marvel's Spider-Man introduces Taskmaster, a side boss in the game who mentions that he was hired by a mysterious employer to recruit the web-slinger. Many fans have been wondering who that specific employer could be, who possibly may be a character with a much larger role in the story of the upcoming Marvel's Spider-Man 2. The assassin is a recurring character throughout the game, with Taskmaster's challenges being a mission in Marvel's Spider-Man. There are many possible characters and/or groups who may have hired Taskmaster in Marvel's Spider-Man, with evidence from both in-game lore and the comics pointing toward a few identities in particular.
Taskmaster is a fairly important character and antihero in the Marvel Universe.
