Further information:List of Deadpool titles

1990s

Created by artist/writerRob Liefeldand writerFabian Nicieza,[14][15][16]Deadpool made his first appearance on the pages ofThe New Mutants#98cover-datedFeb. 1991.[17]According to Nicieza, Liefeld came up with the character's visual design and name, and Nicieza himself came up with the character's speech mannerisms.[18]

Liefeld's favorite comic title beforeX-MenwasAvengers,which featured weapons likeCaptain America's shield,Thor's hammerandHawkeye's bow and arrow. Because of this, he also decided to give weapons to his new characters.[19]Liefeld, a fan of theTeen Titanscomics, showed his new character to then-writer Fabian Nicieza. Upon seeing the costume and noting his characteristics (killer with super agility), Nicieza contacted Liefeld, saying, "This isDeathstrokefrom Teen Titans ". Nicieza gave Deadpool the real name of" Wade Wilson "as an inside-joke to being" related "to" Slade Wilson ", Deathstroke.[20]

Liefeld spoke on how the character was influenced by Spider-Man: "The simplicity of the mask was my absolute jealousy over Spider-Man and the fact that both of my buddies, [fellow Marvel artists]Erik LarsenandTodd McFarlane,would tell me, 'I love drawing Spider-Man. You just do an oval and two big eyes. You’re in, you’re out.'... The Spider-Man I grew up with would make fun of you or punch you in the face and make small cracks. That was the entire intent with Deadpool.... I specifically told Marvel, 'He'sSpider-Man,except with guns and swords.' The idea was, he's a jackass. "[21] Other inspirations wereWolverineandSnake Eyes.Liefeld states: "Wolverine and Spider-Man were the two properties I was competing with at all times. I didn't have those, I didn't have access to those. I had to make my own Spider-Man and Wolverine. That's whatCableand Deadpool were meant to be, my own Spider-Man and my own Wolverine. "[22]"G.I. Joewas my first obsession. Those were the toys in the sandbox with me, kung fu grip, eagle eye, I had them all.G.I. Joeis a world of characters that I have always aspired to participate in. Snake Eyes was a profound influence on my creating Deadpool. "[23]

Both Deadpool and Cable were also meant to be tied into Wolverine's history already from the start, as Liefeld describes: "Wolverine was my guy. If I could tie anything into Wolverine, I was winning." Like Wolverine, Deadpool is (or is thought to be) Canadian.[24][25]The original story had him joining theWeapon Xprogram after being kicked out of the U.S. Army Special Forces and given an artificial healing factor based on Wolverine's, thanks to Dr.Emrys Killebrew,one of the head scientists.[26]

The character's co-creator,Rob Liefeld,holding up a copy ofNew Mutants#98, in which the character first appeared, during an appearance at JHU Comics in Manhattan held three days before the release of the filmDeadpool

In his first appearance, Deadpool is hired byTolliverto attack Cable and theNew Mutants.After subsequently appearing inX-Forceas a recurring character, Deadpool began making guest appearances in a number of different Marvel Comics titles, such asThe Avengers,Daredevil,andHeroes for Hire.In 1993, the character received his ownminiseries,titledThe Circle Chase,written byFabian Niciezaand pencilled byJoe Madureira.It was a relative success and Deadpool starred in a second, self-titled miniseries written in 1994 byMark Waid,pencilled byIan Churchill,and inked byJason Temujin Minorand Bud LaRosa. Waid later commented, "Frankly, if I'd known Deadpool was such a creep when I agreed to write the mini-series, I wouldn't have done it. Someone who hasn't paid for their crimes presents a problem for me."[27]

In 1997, Deadpool was given his own ongoing title, the first volume ofDeadpool,written by sequentiallyJoe Kelly,Christopher PriestandGail Simone.Deadpoolbecame an action comedy parody of the cosmic drama, antihero-heavy comics of the time. The series firmly established his supporting cast, including his prisoner/den motherBlind Aland his best friendWeasel.The ongoing series gainedcult popularityfor its unorthodox main character, its balance of angst and pop cultureslapstickand the character became less of a villain, though the element of his moral ambiguity remained.

2000s

Deadpoollasted until issue #69, at which point it was relaunched as a new title with a similar character calledAgent Xin 2002. This occurred during a line-wide revamp of X-Men-related comics, withCablebecomingSoldier XandX-ForcebecomingX-Statix.It appeared that Deadpool was killed in an explosion fighting the supervillainBlack Swan.Deadpool's managerSandi Brandenberglater founded Agency X with a mysterious man called Alex Hayden, who took the name dubbedAgent X.Deadpool later returned to the series, which would conclude with issues 13–15.[28][better source needed]

Deadpool's next starring appearance came in 2004, with the launch ofCable & Deadpoolwritten byFabian Nicieza,where Deadpool became partnered with his former enemy,Cable,teaming up in various adventures. This title was canceled with issue #50 and replaced by a newCableseries in March 2008.[29]Deadpool then appeared briefly in theWolverine: Originstitle by writerDaniel Waybefore Way and Paco Medina launched anotherDeadpooltitle in September 2008.[30]Medina was the main series artist, with Carlo Barberi filling in on the first issue after the "Secret Invasion"tie-in.[31]

A newDeadpoolongoing seriesbegan as aSecret Invasiontie-in. In the first arc, the character is seen working with Nick Fury to steal data on how to kill theSkrullqueenVeranke.[32][33]Norman Osbornsteals the information that Deadpool had stolen from the Skrulls, and subsequent stories deal with the fallout from that. The story also sees the return ofBob, Agent of HYDRA.This all led directly to a confrontation with the newThunderboltsin "Magnum Opus" which crossed over betweenDeadpoolvol. 2 #8–9 andThunderbolts#130–131.[34]InDeadpool#15, Deadpool decides to become a hero resulting in conflicts with proper heroes likeSpider-Man[35](who he had recently encountered inThe Amazing Spider-Man#611 as part of "The Gauntlet"[36]) and leading to a 3-issue arc where he takes onHit-Monkey,[37]a character who debuted in the same month in a digital, then-print, one-shot.[38][39]

Another ongoing Deadpool series,Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth,launched in July 2009, written byVictor Gischler,with art by Bong Dazo. In it Deadpool teams with Headpool fromMarvel Zombies 3and4.[40][41][42]

A special anniversary issue titledDeadpool#900 was released in October 2009. A third Deadpool ongoing series,Deadpool Team-Up,launched in November 2009 (with issue numbers counting in reverse starting with issue #899), written byFred Van Lente,with art by Dalibor Talajic. This series features Deadpool teaming up with different heroes from the Marvel Universe in each issue, such asHercules.[43]Deadpool also joined the cast of the newUncanny X-Forceteam.[44]

2010s

Another Deadpool series by Gischler titledDeadpool Corpswas released in April 2010. Besides Deadpool himself, this series featured alternate versions of Deadpool, including a female version of himself namedWanda Wilson / Lady Deadpool(who debuted inDeadpool: Merc with a Mouth#7),Headpool(theMarvel Zombiesuniverse incarnation, now reduced to a severed head), and two new characters; Kidpool, a child, andDogpool,a dog.[45]The series lasted twelve issues.

Marvel also publishedDeadpooltitles through theMarvel KnightsandMAXimprints:Deadpool: Wade Wilson's War,byDuane SwierczynskiandJason Pearson,[46][47][48]andDeadpool MAXbyDavid LaphamandKyle Baker.[49]

Deadpool vol. 2 was written byDaniel Wayand drawn byAlé Garza.In the story arc "DEAD", Wade is "cured" of his healing ability and becomes mortal. As a side effect, he also has his old, unscarred face once again. Although he spent the majority of the story arc looking forward to dying, he suppresses his desires in order to protect his friend andsidekickHydra Bob.[50]

After he loses his healing factor, Wilson claims he felt "more alive than ever."[volume & issue needed]However, after a harsh beating from Intelligencia, Wade realized that he had let his ability to heal compensate for skill so he decided to ask for help fromTaskmasterin training.[volume & issue needed]Taskmaster asked Wilson to help him steal Pym Particles from S.H.I.E.L.D., but actually, he allowed Black Box to study Wade in order to prepare his vengeance against Wilson, even letting him know Deadpool lost his healing factor.[volume & issue needed]

Wade managed to defeat Black Box, Black Tom and Black Swan, but in the process, his face was burned and disfigured again.[volume & issue needed]Former FBI agent Allison Kemp wanted to get revenge on Deadpool because of his involvement in an accident which left her in a wheelchair, and she called other enemies of Deadpool such as T-Ray andSlaybackand trained them to kill Deadpool.[51][52]Deadpool infiltrated their base and managed to get T-Ray and Slayback killed when Kemp was about to kill herself in an explosion which would kill Wade in the process, he convinced her not to attack him. At that moment, he was surprised by the returned Evil Deadpool, who informed Wade that the serum they took was not permanent, which was why Wade's face did not heal or a finger he lost grew back, so Wade would return after Evil Deadpool shot him.[53]Daniel Way's Deadpool series concluded with issue 63.

As part of Marvel'sMarvel NOW!initiative, a newDeadpoolongoing series was launched.[54]He is also a member of theThunderbolts.[55]In the 27th issue of his new series, as part of "All-New Marvel NOW!", Deadpool was married for the third time. Initially a secret, his bride was revealed in the webcomicDeadpool: The Gauntletto beShiklah, Queen of the Undead.Deadpool also discovers that he has a daughter, Eleanor, from a former flame named Carmelita.[56]

During the events of "Original Sin",it was revealed that Deadpool was tricked into killing his parents by a scientist known as Butler (who abducted Eleanor and gave her to his brother); however, Deadpool does not know about it.[57]

Much later, he clashed withCarnage,believing the universe was telling the latter to defeat him. After several fights and getting torn to pieces, Deadpool bonds with foursymbiotes:Riot,Phage,LasherandAgony.Playing mind games, Deadpool trickedShriekby using his shapeshifting abilities to make her disoriented and having her flee. After the symbiotic Deadpool and Carnage fought again, Deadpool captures Shriek and forces her to impersonate himself, making it trick Carnage into almost killing her in the process. Feeling broken after a mental breakdown, Carnage allowed himself to be arrested and was placed in an unlocked cell. While sitting in the cell until he was his own self, Carnage swore vengeance on Deadpool. Deadpool, after defeating Carnage, gives the four symbiotes to a war dog who helped Deadpool fight Carnage to deliver them to the government.[58]

During the "AXIS"storyline, Deadpool appears as a member of Magneto's unnamed supervillain group during the fight againstRed Skull'sRed Onslaughtform.[59]The group of villains becomes inverted to heroes, after a spell cast by Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom.[volume & issue needed]This group was later named the Astonishing Avengers.[60]This Deadpool, referred to as "Zenpool", was pivotal in turning Apocalypse to fighting the Inverted Avengers.[61]

Deadpool's death occurs inDeadpool#250.[62]Deadpool faces off in a final showdown withULTIMATUMandFlag-Smasher,killing all of them, and gives up the "Deadpool" identity, wishing to have a better life. He, along with his family and friends, are all killed when the Earthcollides with an alternate universe's Earth.Deadpool laments that the Secret Wars should have stayed an Avengers event, but then dies at peace, content that everybody else is dying with him.[63]

All New, All Different Marvel

Eight months after the events ofSecret Warsand the restoration of Earth, Deadpool is seen working forSteve Rogers.After stealing some potentially life-saving chemicals needed by an ailingRogue,he is offered membership in theAvengers Unity Squad.[64]

DeadpoolVol. 4 began in 2016.[citation needed]In the course of the following months, Deadpool's popularity skyrocketed after the mercenary Solo impersonated him to piggyback on Deadpool's reputation and take jobs at a higher pay rate. One of Solo's jobs in Washington, D.C. had Deadpool's public opinion drastically change for the better when he saved an ambassador from his telepathically manipulated agents. After learning of Solo's impersonation, Deadpool came up with the idea to form a group of mercenaries called the Mercs for Money to extend his reach across the globe. However, Deadpool's newfound popularity forced him to leave his family behind, fearing his enemies could endanger them. Deadpool additionally joined the Avengers Unity Division and used his popularity as a means of funding the team, with the profit from the merchandise.[65]

Madcap additionally returned to Deadpool's life, though Wade was unaware his experience inside his mind left Madcap emotionally damaged and vengeful. Madcap initially posed as an ally, joining the Mercs for Money, but eventually showed his true intentions after he was discovered impersonating Deadpool to defame and threaten his loved ones. Seeing as he had had enough fun, Madcap used an alien weapon to molecularly disintegrate himself. For his second coming, the villain had Deadpool unwittingly become the carrier of a deadly airborne virus with which he infected his family. Wade found a cure, though had to resort to Cable's evil clone Stryfe to find it. Around this time, tensions between Shiklah's domain and the surface world sparked an invasion of Manhattan from Monster Metropolis, which in turn led to Shiklah divorcing Deadpool, opting to return to Dracula instead.[66]

Not long after Wade joined the Avengers Unity Division, the real Steve Rogers was secretly supplanted by an evil fascist counterpart from another timeline that operated as a Hydra sleeper agent within the superhero community. When Phil Coulson became suspicious of Steve, Rogers convinced Deadpool to kill him, claiming that Coulson had gone rogue. A short time afterward, Captain America's machinations resulted in Hydra rising to power, taking over the United States of America. When Hydra's conquest had barely begun, Preston found out about Coulson's death and confronted Deadpool about it. The fight ended in Preston's death. As Hydra's empire grew stronger, Wade joined its own version of the Avengers out of blind loyalty for Captain America. Plagued by guilt, Wade held back when tasked with hunting down the rebel alliance known as the Underground and eventually helped, behind the scenes, to lay part of the foundation of Hydra's eventual defeat. With his mistakes costing the lives of two of his friends, the love of his daughter, and any respect the world had for him, Deadpool turned his back on what little remained of the life he had built.[67]

InDeadpool(vol. 9), Deadpool adopts Princess, a symbiote and clone of Carnage who takes a hyena-like form.[68][69][70]

Characterization

Personality

Deadpool is aware that he is a fictional comic book character.[71]He commonly breaks thefourth wall,which is done by few other characters in theMarvel Universe,and this is used to humorous effect, for instance, by having Deadpool converse with his own "inner monologue", represented by caption boxes. In stories by writerDaniel Waybetween 2008 and 2012, Deadpool was, without explanation, shown to have developed a second "voice in his head", represented by a second set of captions with a different font;Deadpoolvol. 3 Annual #1 (2014) wouldretroactively explainthat this voice belonged toMadcap,a psychoticCaptain Americavillain, who had become molecularly entangled with Deadpool.[72]

The character's back-story has been presented as vague and subject to change, and within the narrative, he is unable to remember his personal history due to a mental condition. Whether or not his name was even Wade Wilson is subject to speculation since one of his nemeses,T-Ray,claims inDeadpool#33 that he is the real Wade Wilson and that Deadpool is a vicious murderer who stole his identity.[73]There have been other dubious stories about his history—at one point the supervillainLokiclaimed to be his father.[6]Frequently, revelations are laterretconnedor ignored altogether, and in one issue, Deadpool himself joked that whether or not he is actually Wade Wilson depends on which writer the reader prefers.[74]

Deadpool is depicted as having a regenerative healing factor, which not only prevents him from being permanently injured through enhanced cell regeneration throughout his body, but also causes psychosis and mental instability, as hisneuronsare also affected by the accelerated regeneration. It is thought that while his psychosis is a handicap, it is also one of his assets as it makes him an extremely unpredictable opponent.Taskmaster,who has photo-reflexive memory which allows him to copy anyone's fighting skills by observation, was unable to defeat Deadpool due to his chaotic and improvised fighting style.[75]Taskmaster has also stated that Deadpool is an expert at distracting his opponents.[75][76]

Deadpool has sometimes been portrayed to have a strong sense of core morality. InUncanny X-Force,he storms out afterWolverinetries to rationalizeFantomexkillingApocalypse,who was at the time in a child form. After Wolverine argues that Deadpool is motivated solely by money,Archangelreveals that Deadpool never cashed any of his checks.[77]

Sexual orientation

In December 2013, Deadpool was confirmed as beingpansexualbyDeadpoolwriter Gerry Duggan via Twitter.[78]However, this post on Twitter has since been deleted by Gerry Duggan. When asked about Deadpool's sexuality, co-creator Fabian Nicieza stated, "Deadpool is whatever sexual inclination his brain tells him he is in THAT moment. And then the moment passes."[79]Nicieza has also stated,

Not trying to be dismissive, but readers always want to 'make a character their own', and often that is to the exclusion of what the character might mean to other fans. I've been dogged with the DP sexuality questions for YEARS. It is a bit tiring. He is NO sex and ALL sexes. He is yours and everyone else's. So not dismissive, but rather the epitome of inclusive.[80]

Powers and abilities

Deadpool's primary power is an accelerated healing factor, depicted by various writers at differing levels of efficiency. The speed of his healing factor depends on the severity of the wound and Deadpool's mental state. It works most efficiently when he is awake, alert, and in good spirits.[81]Deadpool's accelerated healing factor is strong enough that he has survived complete incineration and decapitation more than once.[citation needed]Although his head normally has to be reunited with his body to heal a decapitation wound,[82][83][84]he was able to regrow his head after having it pulverized by theHulkin the graphic novelDeadpool Kills the Marvel Universe.[volume & issue needed]

Deadpool's brain cells are similarly affected, with dyingneuronsbeing rejuvenated at a super accelerated rate. This allows Deadpool to recover from any head wounds, and it renders him nearly invulnerable to psychic and telepathic powers,[85][86]although this ability is inconsistent.[87][88]It has been revealed that at the time his healing ability was given to him, Deadpool suffered from some form of cancer; after the healing factor was given to him, it made his normal cells as well as his cancerous cells unable to die, giving him a heavily scarred appearance beneath his suit.[volume & issue needed]

Deadpool's body is highly resistant to most drugs and toxins, due to his accelerated healing factor. For example, it is extremely difficult for him to become intoxicated.[89]He can be affected by certain drugs, such as tranquilizers if he is exposed to a large enough dosage.[citation needed]Unlike Wolverine, Deadpool has some degree of pain insensitivity, often referring to his gore and impalement injuries as being "ticklish".[90]

Deadpool is effectivelyimmortal,although he has died several times.[91][92]He is still alive 800 years in the future when the new X-Force encounters him.[93]In addition,Thanosonce declared that Deadpool should "consider yourself cursed... with life! "out of jealousy over Deadpool's status asDeath's love interest.[94]His enemy T-Ray later resurrected him,[91]under Thanos' instruction, using an artifact he had given him.[94]Later, Deadpool was informed that Thanos had placed a curse on him, and tracked Thanos down. He revealed that the only thing keeping Wade alive was his "spell of darkest necromancy". Although Thanos removed this curse in order to kill Deadpool, he felt forced to immediately bring him back using "a fusion of necromancy and science" in order to request his aid in tracking down Mistress Death, who had gone missing.[95]

Deadpool is a highly trainedassassinandmercenary.He is adept in multiple forms ofmartial arts,includingSavate.[96]Deadpool is an extraordinary athlete, and an expert swordsman and marksman. He is skilled in the use of multiple weapons, includingkatanas,knives, grenades, and guns. His accelerated healing factor may contribute to his abilities, allowing him to perform the intense exercise for extended periods of time with minimal aches and fatigue.[97][98]Although in earlier years he was originally portrayed as having superhuman strength, he is no longer depicted as having this ability.[99]

Over the years, Deadpool has owned a number of personal teleportation devices. Also, during Deadpool's first ongoing comic, he possesses a device that projected holographic disguises, allowing him to go undercover or conceal his appearance. Deadpool ismultilingual,with the ability to speak fluently in German, Spanish,ASL,and Japanese, in addition to his native English.[100]

Since Deadpool is aware that he is a fictional character,[71]he uses this knowledge to his advantage to deal with opponents or gain knowledge to which he should not normally have access, such as reading past issues of his and others' comics.[101]

Despite his otherwise exemplary physical skills, Deadpool cannotdunkinbasketballat all.[102]

Under "Evil Voice's" influence, Deadpool develops a more nihilistic world view and as a result, after killing Psycho-Man by repeatedly smashing him against a desk, (and after he burns the hospital by using gasoline) he begins assassinating every superhero and supervillain on Earth, starting with theFantastic Fourand even killing the Watcher, in an apparent attempt to rebel against his comic book creators.

Despite his plea, Warda murders Ellie with liquid napalm and takes Wade to the sewer to interrogate him, where Wade reveals that Ellie's mutant ability is to regenerate all at once into her teenage body, allowing her to survive Warda's attack. After Wade, Preston, and Ellie defeat Warda, Wade tells her that he and Shiklah had an on-and-off-again relationship, but were always on the path for war which eventually resulted in her death, as on Earth, those who refuse to co-exist cease to exist (with Wade bringing up the Skrulls to support his point). He implants Preston into Warda's head so she can aid Warda in clearing her conscious and becoming a better person and tells his daughters that they can both be Deadpool. He later tells Ellie that he now plans to travel the world and rid the planet of his old enemies and that Shiklah's resting place is in a shrunken glass coffin located on top of his heart.[122]
