Wade Wilson[src]

History

Origins[]

Wade Wilson was born in Regina, Canada in 1975 into an abusive family and grew up to be a cold, snarky, and sadistic killer. He joined the United States Special Forces and made forty-one confirmed kills before he was dishonorably discharged, leading him to then become a mercenary working out of Sister Margaret's School for Wayward Girls in New York City, where he befriended their bartender, Weasel.

Wade meets Vanessa

Eventually, Wade met and fell in love with Vanessa Carlysle, later proposing to her. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with a late-stage terminal cancer shortly after, putting a crimp in his wedding plans, and devastating both him and his new fiancee. He was then approached by a representative of the Weapon X program, who offered him a cure for his condition as well as superhuman abilities.

Experimented on by Ajax

Wade agreed and was taken to a facility run by a cruel scientist called Ajax, who was attempting to create an army of mutates under his control. He put Wade through various torturous experiments to try and activate his dormant mutant gene, which took their toll on Wade's mind, making him more deranged than before and even causing him to hallucinate. Eventually, Ajax succeeded in activating his power of regeneration, which also horribly disfigured Wade. Furious, Wade broke free and battled Ajax, destroying the facility in the process, and lost Ajax in the battle.[1]

Hunting Ajax[]

Deadpool meets Colossus

Afraid to confront Vanessa in his current appearance, Wade took on the moniker "Deadpool", after remembering when Weasel bet in the Sister Margaret's group "dead pool" that he would die, and began hunting for Ajax to force him to fix his face. He eventually tracked him down, though his attempt to kill him was interrupted by the X-Men Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Colossus attempted to convince Deadpool to be a hero and join them, but he declined and escaped their apprehension of him.

Final battle with Ajax

Shortly after, Ajax targeted and kidnapped Vanessa to get back at Wade, hoping to lure him out and kill him for good. Upon learning of this, Deadpool contacted Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead for their assistance, and the three confronted Ajax and his men in an explosive battle. Deadpool managed to save Vanessa and, despite Colossus' pleas to spare him, kill Ajax. Despite his appearance, Vanessa still accepted Wade, and the couple resumed their relationship, with Deadpool becoming an international mercenary-for-hire.[1][2]

An Altered Timeline[]

On the day of his anniversary with Vanessa, Deadpool was targeting criminal Sergei Valishnikov, planning to kill him before heading home to his fiance. Sergei hid in his compound's panic room while Deadpool killed the rest of his men, and once Deadpool realized he couldn't break in, he decided to let him go for the time being to go home and spend time with Vanessa. Unfortunately, Sergei and his men retaliated by attacking Wade and Vanessa at their apartment.

Wade seconds before his counterpart takes over his mind

Wade's mind was then overtaken by the consciousness of his alternate timeline counterpart, who had seen Sergei kill Vanessa in his timeline. Once this Wade overtook the mind of his younger self, he killed Sergei, saving Vanessa and then went off to do some more time traveling, giving this Wade memories of the now defunct alternate timeline.[2]

Attributes

Powers

Bio-Augmentation: Deadpool's powers come from the experimentation he was submitted to by an unknown organization.

  • Regenerative Healing Factor: Deadpool possesses a superhuman healing factor that allows him to regenerate damaged or destroyed bodily tissue with far greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. Deadpool is able to heal from injuries such as slashes, puncture wounds, and bullet wounds within moments. He is also capable of regrowing missing limbs, although at a slower rate.
  • Immortality: Due to his highly advanced healing factor, Deadpool is unable to die by natural means.
  • Superhuman Strength: Deadpool possesses significantly enhanced strength that allows him to send people flying several feet away with a kick, and lift a man above his head while skewering him with his swords.
  • Superhuman Agility: Deadpool's agility, flexibility, dexterity, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete. He has inhuman jumping, leaping and springing capabilities, and could perform acrobatic flips that would be impossible for the finest human athlete.
  • Superhuman Reflexes: Deadpool's reflexes are far superior to those of even the finest human athlete. He was capable of easily catching an axe thrown at him by Ajax.
  • Superhuman Durability: Deadpool's durability is enhanced to superhuman levels. He was able to take hits from the superhumanly strong Colossus, as well as multiple gunshots. His pain tolerance is also extremely high, as he was able to cut off his own hand and show no signs of pain.
  • Superhuman Speed: Deadpool possesses speed superior to that of even the finest human athlete. He is capable of moving fast enough to easily outmaneuver rapid gunfire.
  • Superhuman Stamina: Wade's body produces little, to no fatigue. This allows him to exert himself at peak capacity for hours without growing tired or weak, even when healing back an entire limb, which would naturally take up a lot of energy.

Abilities

  • Master Marksman: Deadpool is highly skilled with firearms and projectile weaponry. He is able to precisely targets without much effort. While flipping through the air, he used one bullet to kill three men standing in a line. He was also able to throw a knife into a man's eye from several feet while running. He even threw one of his katanas several feet into the wheels of a motorcycle to make it crash, all while he was jumping through the air. Deadpool has also shown he can throw other weapons, such as Ajax's axe, with great precision.
  • Master Martial Artist: Deadpool is highly skilled in melee and unarmed combat, able to overpower and kill several armed men after crashing into their car. Not even confined spaces could limit his skill. He was able to fight on par with the highly skilled Ajax, in a hand-to-hand fight.
  • Master Swordsman: Deadpool's signature weapons are his dual katanas, which combined with his agility, speed, and natural combat abilities, make them his most highly efficient weapons.
  • Master Acrobat: Deadpool's enhanced agility, balance, coordination, and speed make him a highly efficient acrobat. He has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats. He can perform feats of agility that would be impossible for the finest human athlete.
  • Medium Awareness: Wade is very well aware that he's in a movie. He knows that audiences watch whatever he does in the movie. He constantly breaks the fourth wall, calling out the directors, the movie cast and crew and sometimes even comic book writers.
