Origin
Wade Wilson is the son of a military man and was forced to move all over the world. As a young boy, his mother died of cancer, leaving him in the care of his strict militaristic father. Wade would continually become more rebellious growing up, being a bully and a punk... until his father was killed by one of his friends when Deadpool was a teenager
Wade would then go on to be in the military himself, eventually becoming a black ops agent. Deadpool was kicked out of the army, "for being too good" he says. It was then that he found his calling as a mercenary. At first he would only take assassination jobs if he felt that the target(s) deserved to die. If he failed to complete a job, he underwent plastic surgery to change his appearance.
One of his mercenary jobs brought him to Japan where he was hired to kill the Oyakata. Wade however made the mistake of becoming friends with his target and joining the Oyakata's heya. The Oyakata was the greatest sumo, at least of his time, and was considered unbeatable. Wade tried to knock the Oyakata down everyday until he became strong enough and wise enough to do so. He quickly became a star sumo attraction calling himself "Chiyonosake," a name that the Oyakata's daughter, Sazae, gave him.
Wade would also become very close to Sazae, and the two were engaged. Wade would have inherited the Oyakata's heya and wealth, but fled once his employer found out that Wade refused to complete his assignment and came after him.
He spent the next several years taking different mercenary jobs and frequently hooking up with a prostitute named Vanessa who would later known as Copycat, whom he had deep feelings for. When he discovered he had cancer, he chose to break up with Vanessa, wanting her to hate him rather than watch him die. It was during this time that the inter-dimensional law firm called "Landau, Luckman & Lake" started watching Wade and believed that he would help usher in a golden age on Earth. Some members of the firm believed that he was a lost soul and a lost cause, but others believed he was worth fighting for.
He would eventually accept an offer to be a test subject for a branch of the Canadian government known as Department K. Department K, working in conjunction with the Weapon X Program, performed various tests on Wade where they intended to give him a healing factor derived from the mutant Wolverine. The operation was an apparent failure but they could still use him and put him in a field team with other Weapon X members: Garrison Kane, Sluggo, and Slayback. Wade realized that Slayback was a murderous psychopath and killed him. This act washed him out of the Weapon X program and he was sent to a government hospice where failed superhuman experiments were sent to live out the rest of their days. But unknown to the Canadian government, the patients were cruelly experimented on by Dr. Killbrew and his assistant, Ajax. The residents of the hospice had a wagering game called the "Dead Pool," where they'd bet on who would be the next to die due to the horrid experiments. The one who kept track of the game was Worm, a man with a computer for a head. He and Wade quickly became friends.
Victim of the hospice
It was here that Deadpool would be visited by Death, who believed she was coming to claim a deceased soul but was surprised that Wade was very much alive, and that his desperate yearning for death had summoned her prematurely. She was instantly attracted to Wade, and was delighted at the idea of a romance with a living being. They spent a lot of time together during Dr. Killbrew's torturous experimentations on Wade, where she'd ease his suffering by separating his soul from his body and bringing him to physical fantasies of her design until the experimentations were over.
Due to his desire for Death, Wade started mocking the sadistic Ajax, which the other inmates saw as bravery, following his rebellious example. Despite Ajax's wishes, he was not allowed to kill Wade because Dr. Killbrew believed that Wade, though a failed experiment, could hold the information necessary to make any future attempts successful. There was a rule in the hospice that an inmate would be sentenced to immediate termination if he/she killed another inmate, which Ajax used this to his advantage. He lobotomized Wade's friend, Worm, right in front of Wade. Death, whom was ever present at Wade's side, appalled torture and asked Wade to release Worm of his pain... which he did. Since he killed another inmate, Dr. Killbrew reluctantly allowed Wade's death and his heart was torn out. However, Wade's intense anger and thirst for vengeance kick-started his healing factor, instantly healing his shattered chest and regrowing his heart before he took his final breath. Death begged and pleaded with Wade to resist his feelings so that he would die, and they could be together... but it was too late. Wade took this opportunity to kill Ajax and several guards, allowing himself and all the other inmates to break out of the hospice. Wade took the moniker "Deadpool," after the betting game, and continued his mercenary activities.
Life As Deadpool
After leaving the hospice, Deadpool met Weasel, who became Deadpool's go-to-guy and drinking buddy. Deadpool also became employed by Mr. Tolliver who hired Deadpool to kill Cable, which brought Deadpool into direct conflict with X-Force. He was almost successful in his first encounter with them. He defeated the team, but Copycat, masquerading as Domino, unloaded an assault rifle into Deadpool's back.
Enter Deadpool
After Mr. Tolliver's apparent death, Deadpool and Weasel, amongst others, went on an Easter Egg hunt to find the goodies in Mr. Tolliver's will. Deadpool boarded a plane which Black Tom Cassidy and Juggernaut were flying on and held Black Tom out of the plane, threatening to drop him if Juggernaut didn't give him the information disc in their possession. After Juggernaut did so, Deadpool dropped Black Tom and let Juggernaut jump out of the plane after him. Deadpool then hijacked the plane. This brought Deadpool back into the life of Copycat, who was also pursuing the contents of Mr. Tolliver's will with Garrison Kane. Near the prize everyone sought, Slayback, thought dead, came into the scene and attacked the group while Weasel tried to open the prize, which was supposed to be the most powerful weapon in history. Slayback injured Copycat, but Weasel managed to open the box, revealing a droid made to destroy weapons. After Slayback was defeated, Deadpool saved Copycat's life by making her absorb his healing factor... but was distraught to find that she no longer loved him, and was dating Garrison Kane.
Deadpool later snapped and sought out Wolverine for information leading to the whereabouts of Garrison Kane and Copycat. Wolverine instead fought him, and Deadpool proceeded to beat the information out of him. Deadpool found Garrison Kane and Copycat, and tried to force Copycat to be with him again, but Wolverine showed up to help. Deadpool did well, but with the odds stacked against him and the building burning down around them, Deadpool decided to flee.
Deadpool's impeccable wit
When a dying Black Tom sent his men to hunt down Deadpool for his regenerative abilities, Banshee and Siryn tried to use Deadpool to hunt down Black Tom. It would be at this time when Deadpool became infatuated with Siryn. And while Siryn despised Deadpool at first, she started taking a sincere liking to him as she started to see past Deadpool's false demeanor and started to see him for who he really is. Deadpool was careless in a fight with Black Tom's men, trying to showboat in front of Siryn. This error on his part caused him to lose a hand, which Black Tom's men would bring back with them for Dr. Killbrew to help Black Tom. However, Deadpool's healing factor failed to initially regrow his hand and he blacked out from the blood loss. After Deadpool woke up he found that Siryn had been nursing him, and he surprised her when his hand regrew in mere seconds, but it was apparent that something was wrong.
Siryn later went undercover in a mental asylum, but was discovered and locked away with a power inhibitor collar. She managed to build a small phone and tried to contact Cable, but when she was unable to contact him she phoned Deadpool. Deadpool easily snuck in later that night and attempted to free Siryn, however his ruse even deceived her and his psychotic behavior caused her to panic and attack him, only for him to reveal himself and take off her inhibitor collar. Instead of sneaking out, Siryn wanted to complete her mission and went after the headmistress... only to be ambushed. Deadpool was apparently knocked unconscious by a devilish-looking boy and Siryn went home with no memories of what happened. A few weeks past when Siryn's memory started to slowly come back to her. She and Shatterstar rushed back to the mental asylum to save Deadpool, but they were split up. As she went through the asylum, her sense of reality was warped and suffered mass delirium as she ventured through the building, being guided by visions of Deadpool which either confused her or attacked her. She finally found Deadpool curled into a ball, asking if she was real or another hallucination and begged for her to kill him. She was confronted by the headmistress and the devilish-looking boy who egged her into doing it. She realized that it was all the Gamesmaster's doing and managed to free herself and Deadpool from his clutches. Deadpool thanked her, but she said he should take the credit because she knew exactly what was going on when he asked her to kill him, saying that Deadpool sacrificed everything to live. Deadpool then kissed her.
Deadpool's Destiny and team-up with Cable
Best buddies
Deadpool was hired by a cult known as the "One World Church" that wanted Deadpool to steal the Facade virus from a pharmaceutical company in Europe, but Cable caught wind and was trying to stop the One World Church. The One World Church wanted to use the appearance-altering Facade virus to turn everyone on Earth blue so that there would be no more racism, however the virus wasn't finished and it had the side-effect of causing cellular breakdown... literally causing people to turn into goop. Deadpool makes it to the facility, but is greeted by Cable who telekinetically blows Deadpool's head up and leaves with the virus. However, Cable has to track down three punks who stole the virus and are posing as celebrities. He is unable to save two of them, but he is able to save the third by extracting the virus from her cells, which leaves Cable exhausted; Deadpool shows up and shoots Cable. Deadpool returns to the One World Church with the virus. Deadpool also joins the One World Church to restore his appearance and is the first test subject for the process. Cable shows up and talks with the Prime Minister, who injects Cable with the virus which cancels Cable's powers, causing his techno-organic virus to go out of control... but worst still, the Prime Minister has Deadpool attack Cable. The two fight, but it becomes apparent that Deadpool's healing factor is having a hard time fighting off the Facade virus which is trying to cancel out his powers as well. After a rough fight, Cable is at Deadpool's mercy and tries to convince Deadpool that what the Church is doing is wrong, but Deadpool doesn't have time to make up his mind before his body starts slowly turning to goop. Cable's answer to their problem is exchanging bodily fluids. Deadpool uncomfortably agrees, and Cable strains to use his telekinesis to swallow Deadpool whole and then puke him out. Free of the Facade virus, Deadpool's healing factor kicks into high gear as he's almost instantaneously returned to normal. And as a bonus, Cable gained some of Deadpool's healing abilities which suppresses the techno-organic virus for him and allows him to use his telekinesis at whole new levels. During the battle, the Prime Minister fled to Germany to find the perfected form of the virus and Cable follows, leaving Deadpool to find his own way to follow them. At the pharmaceutical company, Cable is forced to fight their new guard, Lightmaster. During the fight Cable manages to telekinetically change the virus so that it turns everyone pink instead of blue and uses Lightmaster to spread the virus all over the world. Believing Cable to have gone mad, Irene and Hammer trick Cable into teleporting to them. But when Cable bodyslides, Deadpool forcefully goes as well since the two are genetically linked now, separating after the teleport. Irene points a gun at Cable but Deadpool attacks Cable. Cable finds a way around the problem and empties a gun clip into Deadpool while disoriented from a teleport. Cable then uses his power to cure everyone in the world of the virus and his plan is finally evident, Cable wanted to be the savior. However, Deadpool threatens that Cable isn't Jesus and he'll be watching.
Deadpool is hired by an unknown to steal an item, but is beaten to it by the Cat. Deadpool then hunts down the Cat and negotiates for the item with the life of a bystander, the Cat gives in and Deadpool body-slides away, but brings Cable with him, but Cable leaves. Deadpool is hired again to steal another device, but is knocked out by the Cat, who is stopped by the X-Men whom bring Deadpool back with them. The X-Men reveal that they are the ones that hired Deadpool to steal those devices and that they're able to stop Cable. When Deadpool wakes up, he finds himself in his own X-uniform, which startled Deadpool. It was revealed that Wolverine and Beast had a bet, Beast wagering that Deadpool would assume that he's an X-Man. Since Deadpool can teleport into Cable's island whenever he wants Wolverine wants to use him, but the others don't trust Deadpool. Emma Frost uses Cerebro to block Cable from eavesdropping on them telepathically, but Deadpool says that he's immune to telepathy and they can talk in his head... confusing some of them at first but proves effective. During this time, Nick Fury was having a discussion with several world leaders and they were discussing the threat that Cable poses. Cable then body-slides in along with Deadpool surprised, threatens that he's going to destroy their nuclear weapons and leaves, prompting the X-Men into action. But before the mission, Deadpool demands a different X-uniform... Marvel Girl's, but he decides half-way to Cable's island that he'll just wear the one they gave him.
Deadpool & Baby Cable
The X-Men go in, but Deadpool betrays them by shooting his teammates, Bishop and Wolverine, in the back and tells Cable the X-Men's plans. Cable sends the Six Pack to fight the X-Men and asks if Deadpool believes in him, Deadpool tries to deny it but it's obvious that he does and Cable is very happy, but said that he wanted the X-Men to succeed because his real goal was to bring the world together against a common enemy. Silver Surfer shows up and starts fighting with Cable, meanwhile Cable's floating island starts to fall towards the ocean. Cable tries to hold it up with his telekinesis, but Silver Surfer is pushing Cable to his limit. Deadpool decides to use the device the X-Men were having him steal to help Cable after Silver Surfer defeated him, it allowed Cable to use the last of his mind powers to safely lower the island into the ocean and momentarily link everyone's minds in the world together to feel what everyone else felt. This device however left Cable comatose.
Deadpool was left being blamed for Cable's "death," making Deadpool try to find a way to snap Cable out of it. He find MODOK and gets a Phalanx embryo, he then finds the Fixer for his technical know-how. But things wouldn't be too easy, Agent-X was hired to stop Deadpool from saving Cable. Agent-X and Deadpool fight for a while, but Deadpool defeats him and spells "Hi Weasel" with Agent-X's intestines, since he knew Weasel would look. Fixer merges the alien embryo with Cable and Cable tries to gain control over it after some words from Domino, but Agent-X showed back up to go at it with Deadpool again... but later decides to give up his mission if Deadpool gives him his pancreas back, which Deadpool previously took for a souvenir. Deadpool insisted that Agent-X grew a new one, but Agent-X wanted it back because it belongs to him. Cable then thanks Deadpool and asks if Deadpool used his own money to save him, but Deadpool said that he was thinking about robbing a bank or something.
Deadpool is currently filling in for Agent-X because of health complications (Hydra turned Agent-X into a fat bastard!). And during the Civil War story arc, Deadpool was pro-registration because he "liked the badge."
Team Ups
After going to a memorial statue for cable to meet Cyclops he goes of to a Hydra base to save Weasel because Wolverine has gone there and intends to kill everyone there. During the battle Wolverine cut his head off, but Bob put it back on so he could regenerate. Weasel sabotages the Hydra teleportation device, but before they leave they are caught by the device malfunctioning and are sent to Germany during WWII. They meet Captain America and Bucky Barnes who it turns out was very scrappy and foul mouthed. However they can't keep track of who they are due to temporal hiccups. The group then goes to fight Doctor Zola and his own Frankenstein Monster. Sadly they are still trapped in the past. In the present Weasel gets the Fantastic Four to let him use their time machine pointing out how bad Deadpool and bob in the past is.

After being kicked out the Baxter Building (Sandi and Outlaw were told they could stay for poker). When he goes back to Agency X, Doctor Strange was there telling him he had to fix a problem in the multiverse that he caused. He was told he needed to find T-Rays body who had been traveling through realms due to trying to escape through a mystical burrow before his death. He then has to find his life essence that was lost in each realm and bring him back to life. He then goes to the Louisiana swamps to meet Brother Voodoo, to get T-Rays soul back in his body. After a short fight the parted ways due to both needing to be kept alive.
Irene Merryweather later contracts him to retrieve a "electro-polarity reconfiguration engine" in the Savage Land that was left by Magneto to power Rumekistan now that Cables’ dead. The engine is supposed to help the Rumekistan economy to keep it from going to shambles again. They are attacked by a mind-controlled Ka-Zar and later free him. Deadpool, Weasel and Bob discover Brain-Child is in control. Deadpool breaks in and finds the "reconfigurator" and Weasel and Bob teleport to him. They are then attacked by an army of dinosaurs Brainchild sent after them. Deadpool uses weasel’s pene-traitor technology to send them to Genosha. Deadpool shots down Brainchild's escaped dinosaur and Ka-zar lets him keep the “reconfigurator”. Weasel then pointed out Deadpool didn’t send the dinosaurs to Genosha, he sent them to the Genosha embassy where they release the Venom Symbiote causing an army of Venomsaurs to run free in Manhattan.
After finding out Deadpool's poor mistake they quickly teleport back to Manhattan only to find the dinosaurs he sent there on accident to be combined with the Venom symbiote. This was the result of the Mighty Avengers and Fantastic Four transporting the symbiote to the Baxter Building after Doctor Doom sent them as a biological attack. So Deadpool starts fight the Venomsaurs while Weasel and Bob hide. Deadpool is soon joined by Spider-Man in the alley. Spider-Man thinks this is all Deadpool's fault. Deadpool then asks how to keep these things from coming back and Spider-Man says sonics and fire and then Deadpool adds lobotomizing them to the list as well. Spider-Man then leaves Deadpool to try to find out what happened. Deadpool then decides to stop the hordes of Venomsaurs with Bob while Weasel tries to reverse the teleporter polarity. Bob then gets his leg caught on a Venomsaur and Deadpool says good work. Meanwhile at Agency X, Outlaw and Sandi are about to fight the attack while Alex is trying to cash in on the attack. Outlaw gets fed up and says that he should be more like Wade and do things for good instead of trying to cash in on it. Afterwards Deadpool is hanging on to a Venomsaur and Irene Merryweather sees him and yells. The Venomsaur stops and starts to head for her but Deadpool jumps in the way blocking the attacks. The Venomsaur then picks Deadpool up and is about to eat him when Ms. Marvel and Wonder Man stop it. Ms. Marvel then blames the Venomsaurs on Deadpool but Deadpool says he had nothing to do with the symbiotes and blames that on Ms. Marvel. Then Ms. Marvel and Wonder Man take Irene and Deadpool up to where the Fantastic Four are fighting. Johnny gets hit with a poison from a Pteranadon Venomsaur and Reed catches him while Deadpool heroically jumps onto its back, stabs it in the head, and surfs on it towards the ground. He lands in a battle between some Venomsaurs and the remaining Mighty Avengers. While this happens Alex tries to become a hero again by using his robust size to fight the Venomsaurs like Outlaw said he should. He ends up saving Sandi and Outlaw in the process. Meanwhile, Bob is getting carried away by a Venomsaur and it slams into an electronic setup and it lands on the Venomsaur, electrocuting it. The news cameras catch it and he gets a text from his wife saying 'call me'. Deadpool is still fighting with the Might Avengers and the Thing. He is really doing well in their presence but eventually gets thrown in an alley. In the alley Cable's psimitar with a note saying he could use this and that this was sent from the future. The psimitar destroys the symbiote but not the dinosaur. Deadpool then hops back in action and saves Wonder Man. Deadpool then gets grabbed by a Venomsaur and it tries to bond with him. It almost had him but he refused at the last second and stabbed himself in the head. This causes him to be knocked out. He wakes to find that Weasel and Mr. Fantastic found a solution to the problem and is thanked by the Avengers and is invited to poker night with Ben Grimm. Later that day Deadpool is flipping through the channels getting recognition for his display of heroism while his friends come in to watch T.V. with him.
