Trivia

• Taskmaster's background information subtly implies he may have been the player general of the original Generals and Zero Hour Chinese campaigns.
• The Chinese characters "亚太联盟少将" (meaning Asia-Pacific Alliance Major General) are visible on his suit. That means he is a 1-star Chinese General, because the general military ranks of former/current socialist countries is slightly different from the Western ones, for example:
  • In Socialist countries:
    • 1-star: Major General (少将, Thiếu tướng, literally means "Junior General")
    • 2-star: Lieutenant General (中将, Trung tướng, literally means "Medium General")
    • 3-star: Colonel General (上将, Thượng tướng, literally means "High General". This is the higest rank in the current China PR)
    • 4-star: Army General (大将, Đại tướng, literally means "Great General". Not available in current China PR)
    • 5-star: Marshal (元帥, Nguyên soái, not available in current China PR and Vietnam. It existed in China PR from 1955 to 1965.)
  • In Western countries:
    • 1-star: Brigandier General (准将, Chuẩn tướng, literally means "Standard General")
    • 2-star: Major General (少将, Thiếu tướng)
    • 3-star: Lieutenant General (中将, Trung tướng)
    • 4-star: Army General (大将, Đại tướng)
    • 5-star: Marshal (統制, Thống chế) in Europe, or General of the Army (統将, Thống tướng) in the US and former South Vietnam.
