History:
(Daredevil I#292 (fb) - BTS) - Ernie Saltes spent years perfecting his fighting movements, including channeling his chi into one body point to deliver a blow of devastating impact. Taskmaster hired Saltes to teach him this move. His ally Larry "Mad Dog" Cass made the connection for him.

(Daredevil I#292) - Saltes was demonstrating his skills for Taskmaster when he grew frustrated that Taskmaster wasn't paying attention. Taskmaster, having learned the moves instantly, crossed the room and killed Saltes with a single blow.
