Background / History

Wade Wilson was formerly a special-forces soldier. A genetic experiment gave him superhuman regeneration, allowing him to recover from catastrophic injuries that would normally be fatal. He later became the mercenary Deadpool, operating from Sister Margaret's Bar and living with Vanessa. 32

He first becomes involved with John Constantine and Natasha Romanoff during S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigation into the Hudson River corpses. Although initially more interested in Constantine's popularity and potential paydays, he joins the investigation and survives being used as a vessel in Constantine's demon-trapping scheme. 32 34 35 36

• Red skintight combat suit. 32
• Two carbon-steel swords carried on his back. 32
• Twin guns used alongside his blades. 35
• Pitted, scarred face beneath his mask. 260

Personality

Deadpool is crude, loud, shameless, and intensely theatrical. He treats dangerous situations as opportunities for poses, dramatic entrances, flirtation, or self-promotion, even when surrounded by monsters or armed enemies. 32 105 205

Money and recognition strongly motivate him. He readily accepts a $200,000 corpse-retrieval job, dreams of becoming the mercenary world's number-one influencer, and is openly jealous of Tony Stark and Constantine when they receive more attention than he does. 85 129 208

Despite his cowardice around ghosts and habit of panicking, Deadpool repeatedly acts under pressure. He retrieves Chu Renmei's corpse from the Hudson River, improvises during battle, and can make sharp deductions when his allies are endangered. 34 86 262
