Deadpool: The Merc with the Mouth
Have you ever met someone you where pretty sure wasnt functioning on all cyclinders or no cyclinders just on the notion that instead of there being just three dimensions there are alot more.
That this person pisses you off to the point you want to kill him but cant so your stuck with him as he attempts to break through the Fourth wall of the universe well my friends please hide your loved ones an please have some kind of protective gear for your mind because we will be talking about Deadpool.
A mercenary for hire Wade Winston Wilson made his first appearance in New Mutants #98 in February1991 he appeared as a villian in X-force and starreed in several ongoing series and shares titles with cyclops future son cable. Wade is better know as the "Merc With a Mouth," he never shuts upand has the tendency to break the "Fourth wall," this is used by writers for a humorous effect.
Fun fact the Idea of the Fourth Wall was an Idea suggested by Philosopher and Critic Denis Diderot and spread in 19th century theatre, this extended the idea to the imaginary boundary between any fictional work and its audience. Its a technique used in metafiction it penetrates the boundaries normally set up by fiction this is all to say that Deadpool is self aware that he is a character ina comic and likes to share with audience thats pretty cool.
Ok now Wade's back story is very vague and has been subject to change, within his own narrative he can't remember his personal history due to his mental state there is also some speculation as to whether or not his name is actually Wade Wilson.
One of his nemese T-Ray claims in Deadpool#33 that he is the real wade wilson and that deadpool is a viscious murderer who stole his identity. There was even one point in time that the supervillain Asgardian Trickster Loki claimed to be his father I can not make this up. In the 2011-2012 Deadpool series it is implied in a flashback that Deadpool is the real Wade Wilson the deranged an partly insane son of a Decorated war hero, day dreams of childish and deadly ideas pushed him to become a mercenary.
The original story had him joining The Weapon X program after being kicked out the United States Army Special Forces. Now The Mercs Primary power is an accelerated healing factor artfically endowed by the Weapon X program this enables him to regenerate any destroyed tissue at super-human rate as well this makes him immune to all known diseases. But an unanticipated side effect occured the acceleration of the cancerous tumors he was suffering from at that time, causing them to spread across his entire body.
Because of this, his healing factor supercharged the cancer resulting in massive scar tissue causing Wade to be servely deformed.
Wades healing factor also is the cause for his psychosis and Mental instability it is said to exacerbated a underlying mental issue,
Young wade was shown as being withdrawn and disturbed caught in his twisted daydreams even after losing his healing factor Deadpool diddn't regain his sanity. Wades healing factor is strong enough that he has survived complete incineration and decapitation more then once. He was able to regrow his head after having it pulverized by the Hulk can I be first say wow.
Now unlike Wolverine's natural healing factor wade's is mentally driven so he is resistant to most drugs and toxins, but some drugs can affect him like tranquilizers if exposed to a large dose.
While Wade's Psychosis and dissociative identity disorder are seen as a great weakness, They are his greatest asset next to his Martial Arts, Marksmanship,Swordsman skills he is an unpredictable opponent with a chaotic improvised fighting style that distracts and destroys.
As I close I enjoy deadpool and all of his eccentric behavior his insanity has made dull days pretty awesome he is a random badass who calls grenades pineapples gives his guns sound effects.
If your on deadpools list or a contract I say just give in and take the bullet dont fight.
