I agree with the lobster on how he should be characterized.
*Warning I am getting on my soapbox*
What i would really like to see in a Deadpool story line is him having deep moral dilemmas, facing real consequences for his actions, and/or making a noticeable impact in the Marvel universe with his actions. For the past few years, every single Deadpool story has had little impact on the Marvel Universe. All of the mini series and on goings will have no impact on the mythos of Deadpool and there will be no lessons learned for any of his actions. It just feels like the past 3-4 years were a pointless footnote in the Marvel Universe. Except for what he does in X-Force, that is the exception that proves the rule.
I am not saying to make him murder a bunch of kids and explore his feelings afterwards. What I am saying that he needs to be a human at some point and notice that the world does not revolve around him. That the comedic wall should come down every once in a while and he should face reality. Show him the families that he has deprived of fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters. Let him have more to his character than being a sentient blender of death and one liners. There is a interesting and conflicted character under all the violence and funny, let him out. I miss him.
I am done now.
