    As I woke up the other day I suddenly started pondering a question I seem to be unable to answer. The question is: What is Deadpool? Hero or Villain? He is mostly considered an anti-hero or hero but he is, after all, an mercenary.

    Anti-hero , with a little part of criminal/villian.
    I don't like when they try to make him a hero.

    But the best answer is whatever pays best, like said before.

    He is a villain. He only does good when it is to his benefit, other wise he does whatever the money tells him to do.

    Miracle Class just put this post, from which my computer originated, in the category as foolish posts. I just want to say that it is much more in the direction of retarded(which is worse(duh)). Deadpool is insane for Ranogazoo's sake! He doesn't stay on any side, neither good nor evil, for very long because his conception of the situations he would happen to find himself in constantly change. I wrote this while being in my "happy place"(intoxicated by such large amounts of coffeine that I start seeing stuff. It's actually pretty fun and all you need is about six litres of coffee, three pounds of sugar and an edition of "Aha's" "take on me" music video)and I must merely apologize for any trouble I may have caused.

    Well I haven't been keeping up with Wade since the end of Cable and Deadpool... But at the end of that series he was definitely becoming a hero.

    And from what I hear of his new series (Helping Nick Fury, trying to get Osborn, etc.) he still seems to be a hero...

    From the topic, I thought you were asking for the literal definition.

    A "deadpool" is a betting pool in which the betters bid on individuals in the order that they are expected to die.  Most deadpools are taken based on celebrity deaths, and a fictional pool was the subject of a Dirty Harry movie.

    When money isn't at stake, Deadpool can be expected to do what's right.  But what's 'right' is defined rather loosely by his own peculiar set of morals.

    He's all over on the moral spectrum. I wouldn't consider him necessarily evil or good.

    @lolidude: An anti-hero is a person who enforces justice with methods other heroes frown upon.
     
    examples: Rorschach, Punisher, Venom
     
    Deadpool is at the moment trying to become more of a hero.
