"Whatever they did to me, made me totally indestructable... and unf**kable." ― Deadpool


Deadpool (Real name Wade Wilson) is a recurring anti-hero in Marvel's comic book stories.

Background[]

Wade Wilson’s early life is mysterious and not really elaborated on due to his messed up mental state which caused his memory of his past to be hazy at best. What we do know is that his mother died of cancer while he was young and his father (who was in the military) physically abused Wade quite often. Due to the incredibly harsh treatment he received as a kid, he became a delinquent in his teenage years, never really getting the love and affection he wanted. However, one night while drinking with his friends, Wade’s father tried to take him out of the club, one of his friends stole Wade's father’s handgun and killed him. Feeling guilty over this, Wade sobered up and decided to join the military himself. However, that did not turn out so well due to Wade not really liking discipline, and he decided to use his military training to become a mercenary while still in his late teens.

Accepting assassination contracts only against those whom he felt deserved death, he made a habit of using plastic surgery and technology to take on a new identity whenever he failed a mission. Not much is known regarding his mercenary life but we do know that he romanced a woman named Francie. When this relationship soured, he traveled throughout Asia where he became a wrestler under the tutelage of a criminal, The Oyakata. Once he learned that the Boss asked Wade to kill The Oyakata, he refused and went back to the United States.

It was then he met a teenage prostitute named Vanessa. They were very much in love but like everything in Wade’s life, it soon turned for the worst. Learning that he had contracted cancer, Wilson broke up with Vanessa rather than force her to remain with a man who was going to die.

In Canada, he was offered hope in the form of Department K, a special weapons development branch of the Canadian government that had affiliations with the Weapon X project. Wilson became a test subject in Department K’s branch and gained superhuman abilities, including a ridiculously strong healing factor to heal his cells faster than his cancer could kill them, though unfortunately, this permanently scarred his body, basically turning him into a living tumor. It also had some pretty wonky effects on his mind, resulting in him becoming aware of the fourth wall and knowing that he's not real. After he killed one of his teammates, he was sent to a government facility where the rejects were treated. He was experimented upon by Doctor Killebrew and Ajax (or FRANCIS), with the patients placing bets in a "dead pool" on how long each test subject would live.

Eventually Ajax would attempt to kill Wade by tearing out his heart and leaving him for dead but, the Merc’s will to survive was so strong he used his healing factor to regenerate his heart and escaped the facility with his patients. Now a free man, he decided to take on the name “Deadpool” and became one of the most well-known mercenaries for hire in the Marvel Universe. He would go on many crazy adventures including fighting zombie presidents, time travel and even fighting alternate versions of himself to see who is the best Deadpool.

He would make many friends including, surprisingly, Captain America, Spider-Man and Wolverine as well as meeting his daughter. Deadpool has had quite a life - hasn’t he? He’s also been considered an unofficial member of the X-Men (and boasted about his status as a mutant to try and gain membership in the past) as well as the Uncanny Avengers.

Powers, Techniques, and Equipment[]

Powers[]

Regenerative Healing Factor: Deadpool possesses superhuman healing factor derived from that of the mutant Wolverine 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, bullet wounds, beheading, and severe burns within moments. His healing factor is significantly more powerful than Wolverine's as he can regrow missing limbs and organs and was able to recover after the Hulk liquidated everything from his waist up. His head or any other limb can be reattached using this ability. Even though being beheaded, Deadpool can still move his body normally.[142] Unlike Wolverine's natural healing factor, Deadpool's is mentally driven to a partial extent.

  • Foreign Chemical Resistance: Deadpool's body is highly resistant to poisons and most drugs.[1] For example, it is extremely difficult, though not impossible, for him to become intoxicated (Blind Al made several references to Deadpool being hung-over since he once drunkenly spoke to the Teletubbies on the TV he was watching). He can, momentarily, be affected by certain drugs (tranquilizers) if exposed to a large enough dosage.
  • Disease Immunity: The unique regenerative qualities of Deadpool's healing factor also extend to his immune system; he is immune to all diseases, infections, disorders, imperfection, and resistant to elemental extremes.
  • Immortality: Deadpool's healing factor provides him with an endless lifespan by halting the aging process. His life span is extended to such a degree that an alternate reality version of him was alive and still in business as Deadpool 800 years in the future. He was also cursed with immortality by T-Ray on behalf of Thanos, in order to keep him away from Death.
  • Telepathic Immunity: The healing factor causes his brain to be in a constant state of flux and regeneration, rendering him immune to psychics such as Cable, Emma Frost, and the Red Onslaught. Deadpool can be looped into a telepathic psi-link to communicate with others mentally, as he did while a member of X-Force, but actually reading his mind can be confusing, even to an accomplished telepath like Psylocke. This would not prevent him from being attacked psychically though.
  • Possession Resistance: Similar to the telepathic immunity, Deadpool is able to remain in control of himself while supernatural beings are trying to take control of him. During Xaphan's attempt to take control of him, Wade was able to fight for control of his body. No one can touch his soul.

Techniques[]

  • Shoryuken: Deadpool is apparently a huge of the Street Fighter series that he replicates the poster of the Street Fighter games, Ryu's iconic rising uppercut move, the Shoryuken. Which he used to great effect by knocking the X-Man, Kitty Pryde a block away.

Equipment[]

  • Dual Katanas: Wilson wields a pair of steel katanas. He is able to charge his katanas with an energy field through his suit, increasing the durability of his swords and increasing their cutting power to the point that they can easily cut through and bypass objects as hard as diamond, Archangel's Metallic Wings, and durability of Planet Level beings like the Hulk.
  • Firearms: Wade often wields a wide variety of firearms ranging from pistols, sub-machine guns, shotguns, assault rifles, grenade launchers, and heavy artillery weapons.
  • Explosives: Other then firearms, Deadpool also carries various hand grenades and bombs at his disposal.
  • Matter Disintegration Gun: This weapon destroys anything on a molecular scale, meaning if you are hit by this weapon, they're dead. He mainly brings it out against unkillable beings such as vampires, and as Wilson tells us that nobody tends to survive when hit by it.
  • Time Gun Machine: One of Deadpool’s most oddest weapon of all. It fires chronokinetic energy through a bullet casing. Meaning it has the ability to shoot time. According to Deadpool it can kill characters with chronokinetic abilities/people who time travel like his old pal Cable, but it’s most bizarre ability is that it can turn people into historic figures such as Hitler.
  • Teleportation Device: Deadpool has utilized different teleportation devices to whisk him out of (and occasionally into) danger. Deadpool was able to 'bodyslide' to wherever Cable is present, through Providence. At different periods Deadpool has possessed different teleportation technologies which he sometimes uses for combat.
  • Magical Satchel of Unlimited Weaponry: Contains all of Deadpool's weapons and ammunition.

Powerscaling[]

Contrary to belief, despite appearing incompetent and dumbfounded. Deadpool is actually a highly intelligent and resourcefully deadly-skilled assassin and mercenary when he takes a fight seriously, having been trained in virtually all forms of unarmed combat and weaponry coupled with his remarkable healing factor that rival that of Hulk and Wolverine's.

He has proven himself to to be a formidable foe, able to keep up with top tier Marvel Street Levelers such as Captain America, Daredevil, Black Panther, Iron Fist, Wolverine, Punisher, and most of all, Taskmaster. Thanks in part to his insanity and unpredictable fighting style, making it difficult to predict what he might possibly do next and ability to take a huge amount of punishment from his opponent's attacks than dish back just as much in return.

What makes Deadpool a even more lethal force to be reckon with is his sheer plethora of hax weapons at his disposal which can allow him to bypass his foes's all forms of armor and durability like his trusty dual katanas whose cutting power is enhanced by an energy field surrounding it, allowing him to even pierce through the skin of the Hulk. Followed by that he also carries a Matter Disintegration Gun which can destroy individuals and objects on a molecular scale. Making the Merc with the Mouth far more then just your average talkative comedian in a red jump suit.

Weaknesses[]

  • He is completely insane (although this is sometimes a strength rather than a weakness)
  • His regeneration is incredibly slow and painful, and requires his own concentration to work
  • At times, he's very careless and cocky
