Who is wade wilson

As a result, when Ajax finally did kill Wade, the vengeance backfired by activating Wade's healing factor, meaning that he couldn't die. This is what caused Wade to snap and go crazy, taking on a new name inspired by his winning of the Dead Pool, despite all of his efforts to lose it.

Fans of the Deadpool films should be able to quickly pick up on many of the similarities between this origin story and the origins for Wilson provided onscreen. It's evident that this annual issue in particular was used as a large source of inspiration for the films including Wade learning Ajax's real name. However, Lady Death was never a presence in the film , nor was Ajax's punishment of other inmates instead of Wade, or the head doctor known as Killebrew.

While the original comics story is one that is extremely dark and tragic, it birthed one of the most popular anti-heroes of all time nonetheless. Regardless, it is interesting to learn the deeper meaning and history behind Wade Wilson's codename, and it's good that Marvel Comics eventually gave it a solid backstory that would go on to define the darker and deeper levels of Deadpool's character for years to come.

Wade gets tired of the speech and he just shoots Ajax in the head, making Colossus puke. Afterwards, Wade finally confronts Vanessa and apologizes for abandoning her. She removes his mask to see his face, but he is wearing a cut-out of Hugh Jackman 's face.

She sees his real face and says she will eventually get used to it and they kiss. While walking about the city Wade noticed a man getting robbed in an Alley. Two years later Deadpool has become a highly sought after mercenary taking on various gang leaders, killers, and more while maintaining his blossoming relationship with Vanessa.

On his anniversary one of his targets escapes. Returning home to Vanessa she reveals her intentions to have a baby with Wade. However later that night the target along with his men attack Wade at his home. While Wade is able to fend them all off the target ends up shooting Vanessa, killing her.

Wade in anger pursues him and kills him by throwing them both in the path of an incoming truck. Weeks later Wade is still grieving. After visiting Blind Al's apartment for advice and to inhale a bag of cocaine , he takes her remark of "never living until you've died a little" literally, going back home, smoking a cigarette before flicking it into one of the barrels of oil he was laying on top of to blow himself up, in order to "die a little".

Colossus comes across Deadpool's strewn-about body parts, gathering them together in a bag so Wade's healing factor puts him back together. He brings him to the X-Mansion , where Wilson lays about for three days again , Colossus tells him that if he would decide to join the X-Men , it would be a healing experience for him. He also meets Negasonic Teenage Warheads girlfriend Yukio who become fond of each other.

When Vanessa Carlysle was murdered, the timeline fractured and created a new reality in which Deadpool decided to help protect Russel from Cable. Wade is a man with a deeply perverted, deranged and sometimes dark sense of humor. Probably Wade's most defining characteristics is his non stop motor mouth no matter the situation and his love of pop cultures from all periods of time such as referencing Mama June or having an Adventure Time wristwatch.

As a mercenary Wade is usually only in for anything for money. He is pansexual, who will flirt outrageously with pretty much anyone. Despite this, as Weasel pointed out Wade does have some moral compass as shown when he had most of the money he took from helping a teenage girl with her stalker sent back to her and as pointed let the kid who was stalking her off with a simple while very threatening warning. Another of Wade's redeemable features is his love for his girlfriend Vanessa as he was shown to do anything even considering joining the X-Men to get the help of two of their members Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead to rescue her.

Wade also displays some heroic traits as shown when he tackles Negasonic Teenage Warhead out of the way of gunfire and going to great lengths to prevent mutant time traveler and soldier Cable from murdering teenager Russell Collins even if it was for the good of the future.

Wade Wilson. History Talk 3. Do you like this video? Play Sound. But, if you wanna fight for what's right, sometimes you have to fight dirty. And don't make the suit green You may be wondering why the red suit. Well, that's so bad guys can't see me bleed. Deadpool trying to connect with Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Universal Conquest Wiki. Cable felt guilty for Deadpool's status as a renegade mercenary being corrupted by his heroism, and began to covertly hire him for missions, without revealing that he was the one doing so.

Deadpool would later rescue Cable again, teleporting through several alternate worlds to retrieve him when he became lost. His initial attempts were unsuccessful, but he was hired nonetheless, being ordered by the president to hunt Cable. Wade was unsuccessful. Trying to fix his again damaged reputation, Deadpool kidnapped Taskmaster and forced him to fight to convince four Government higher-ups who were also kidnapped to hire him again. Deadpool won the fight, but wasn't hired, being cited as too immature.

Deadpool awoke days later to find that he had been shrunk with Pym Particles by Weasel, who was attempting to help Wade take on the Rhino. Deadpool tried, and was instead made into a keychain and taken to the Three Strikes Bar, where he was humiliated repeatedly. After being flushed down a toilet, Deadpool managed to return and beat up each and every one of them, including Rhino - whilst still only a few inches high.

Still only inches tall, Deadpool went with Weasel to the Hydra base in Afghanistan , where they met Bob, Agent of Hydra , and used him to free Agent X who had been turned into a pound slob by Hydra's Morphogenetic Actuator.

Deadpool was changed back to normal size in the process and was asked to take over Agency X whilst Nijo got back into shape. Deadpool was almost killed when he attempted to save the girls but instead stabbed T-Ray in the head with a katana "forged by the same guy who made the one on Heroes ". Providence was attacked by the Hecatomb , and Deadpool came to help. He arrived too late to fight the alien, but was able to help Cable to fight off the Marauders.

In the end, Deadpool realized Cable wouldn't trust him with important tasks, and was sent home alone while Cable seemingly perished with Providence. Deadpool went to Rumekistan to pay his final respects to Cable, and while he was there, was asked to stop Wolverine from destroying a Hydra base. Minutes before Wolverine found Weasel at the base, Wade found him in a suit capable of teleportation, calling himself the "Penetraitor".

Quickly decapitating Deadpool, Wolverine began to kill the Hydra agents, leaving ones that were strapped into suits similar to the Penetraitor's. They activated the suits to escape, but disappeared. Weasel explained that they were rigged to send the users to Guantanamo Bay , and Bob was able to reattach Deadpool's head.

Bob, Weasel, and Wade returned to Rumekistan to finish paying their final respects, when Deadpool and Bob disappeared in a flash of light due to the now damaged suit Weasel wore. Time-slips created problems during the trip, and Cap and Bucky once forgot who Bob and Deadpool were, attacking them.

The time-slips were created by Weasel's efforts to return them to the present. Eventually two teams of the Fantastic Four were able to return them to the present. Deadpool went on several missions for Dr Strange , patching the mystical hole he created in T-Ray's head by stabbing other mystical creatures with the same sword. The final act to seal the rift was to find T-Ray's soul and bring him back to life. Wade reluctantly set out to do so, seeking help from Brother Voodoo along the way.

T-Ray was eventually returned to life, and both realized they needed each other. Upon returning to Agency X headquarters, Irene Merryweather came asking for aid in locating an energy generator for Rumekistan which was based in the Savage Land.

When arriving, the team encountered a mind controlled Ka-Zar , and had to fight the forces of Brainchild. During the conflict, Deadpool accidentally used Weasel's Penetraitor technology to warp some dinosaurs to the Latverian Embassy in New York.

So upon defeating Brainchild they had to return to New York to help the Avengers return the dinosaurs who happened to be infected with symbiotes at the time. Deadpool saved the day by absorbing the consciousness of the symbiotes and killing himself albeit briefly. Despite being hailed as something of a hero after the stunt with the symbiotes, Deadpool slipped easily back into his old ways when attempting to kill Wolverine.

For once, Deadpool planned every stage of the attack, orchestrating a series of hits that came close to killing both of them. Just before Wolverine was to be drowned, Daken interfered, cutting off Wade's hands so that he could kill his father himself. Daken was shot with a carbonadium bullet by Bucky Barnes, who had originally hired Deadpool. The entire hit was planned by Wolverine so that he could capture his son, so Deadpool received no money.

Not too long after the Civil War, Deadpool ran into Madcap. A failed attempt to drive Deadpool insane led to a battle with Daredevil and Thor , with the latter electrocuting Deadpool and Madcap to dust. When the combined remains of the pair regenerated, Madcap was absorbed into Deadpool, and went on to live inside Wade's mind, manifesting in the form of an inner voice. When the Skrull invasion began, Wade was held captive, and trained Skrulls to be more unpredictable so as to better handle his abilities.

He escaped when the Skrulls turned on one another and transmitted stolen intel files to Nick Fury Wilson's real plan , which was intercepted by Norman Osborn , who lead the Avengers and H. Since Fury never received the data, Wilson went unpaid for his efforts. With no money left after the third unpaid job in a row, Deadpool had to steal away on a freighter bound for America.

Mid-Atlantic, the ship was sunk by Tiger Shark tearing through the hull. He awoke on a beach in Mexico , missing an arm and with his costume in tatters, and planned to kill Tiger Shark while he recovered. Tiger Shark found him first, and tried to kill him with an oversized machete.

The resulting fight brought the Mexican police, who shot and seemingly killed Wade while Tiger Shark escaped. He woke up to find himself in a body bag on a pier, which he felt was a nice change from waking up in a body bag in the morgue. Tiger Shark came out the water and attacked again when Bob appeared with his guns blazing.

Tiger Shark dives back into the water, and after a couple hours of waiting for him to resurface, Bob and Deadpool retire to a motel.

There, Bob reveals that he was sent to kill Deadpool, same as Tiger Shark who was on his way to the room. Wade managed to shoot Tiger Shark through the motel window and interrogate Bob for the name of his employer, Norman Osborn. Norman was aware that the intel Wade unwillingly provided was the only reason he was put into a position of power, and wanted Deadpool eliminated to secure his position.

Wade had no idea who Norman was. Wilson traveled back to New York with the idea that Osborn should have paid him for that intel he transmitted during the Secret Invasion, and attempted to break into the Avengers tower. Osborn had been ready for him with a trap, and sent the Thunderbolts to intercept him. Deadpool managed to disable all of the Thunderbolts with the exception of Black Widow , who he began to fall for. While professing his love, he was shot by Paladin and escaped. He teleported to the Taskmaster's 'Unoccupied office building' where he regrouped and got the bullets out of his body whilst telling "Tasky" about how much he adored Black Widow and his plan for two Deadpools.

Hiring a plane to fly a banner professing his love for "BW" as well as his phone number, Taskmaster was able to pinpoint the call made to that number to find the Thunderbolt's headquarters. The Thunderbolts used the call to find Taskmaster's position as well, believing him to be Deadpool. As they left to intercept him, Deadpool called their number and flirted with Widow while he shot at them from the plane. Crashing the plane and losing that phone, he teleported back to Taskmaster to get a new phone before teleporting directly to her, since she wasn't with her team.

While fighting and kissing her, he managed to ask Taskmaster dressed as Deadpool to stall her team while he spent time with her. Taskmaster was captured by her, and was about to have his head cut off by Headsman when Wade rescued him. Osborn wanted to see Deadpool killed, and was in attendance when Taskmaster was about to have his head chopped, so Deadpool went after him after releasing Taskmaster.

Wade nearly had Osborn when Black Widow shot him through the heart, enabling Headsman to cut off his head. Taskmaster claimed he didn't put Wade's head back on, and Deadpool believed it was Widow's way of telling him she loved him back. He would later pop up behind Osborn during a national television appearance holding a sign that said, "Respawn lol". Out of work yet again, Wade posted his services on Craigslist.

He was hired to kill a pizza boy for making fun of a girl in childhood. Wade managed to shoot him, then stealing all of the homeowner's possessions in the house he had broken into to order the pizza. While checking out the TV, he saw a news story where he was denounced as a traitor to the human race for joining the Skrulls.

When he went to get the keys to the car in the garage, he was greeted by Hawkeye really Bullseye and was eventually shot in the head with an arrow. Planning to grind him up so that he couldn't regenerate, Lester underestimated Wade's healing factor, and was surprised when Deadpool attacked.

When Deadpool won the fight, Bullseye paid him to never tell anyone else. Wade used his new-found riches to buy a pirate boat, and as a short and very unsuccessful stint as a pirate, decided to become a hero instead. He made his way to Utopia to become an X-Man, and they quickly rejected him.

Since they couldn't just let him go, they pretended to bring him in on a probationary membership under the watch of Domino. Deadpool tried to get in the X-Men's good graces by killing Mark Kincaid , who had been claiming that the X-Men had kidnapped his daughter and were holding her against her will part of Norman Osborn's plot to weaken the X-Men.

When his plan began to fall apart, Osborn instead tried to use the situation to further discredit the X-Men by killing Kincaid and blaming Deadpool who had publicly and falsely claimed X-Men membership , but Deadpool had set everything up to make the X-Men heroes again in the eyes of the public.

This convinced the X-Men to reluctantly give Wade full membership. He seemingly stayed on Utopia, and squatted in Loa 's quarters during Necrosha. When Loa was attacked by the Cortez , Delgado , and Mellencamp , who were searching Magneto to kill him, Wade first intended to team-up with them, unknowing that Magneto was now an X-Man but was soon asked by Cyclops to battle them, without killing. He quickly realized in disobeying that wouldn't be a problem as the Acolytes were regenerated by the T-O virus.

Severely beat up, he was saved by Loa, whose powers were revealed to be fatal to the returned, so Deadpool used her as a projectile against them. Deadpool was recruited by an entity known as the Contemplator to save the Multiverse. To do this he would have to assemble a team of alternate universe Deadpools. He visited a string of universes where his alternates were significantly different from him, recruiting Lady Deadpool , Kidpool , Dogpool , and Headpool along the way. With his team assembled, he revealed his plan to save the multiverse to them.

Deadpool joined Wolverine and Archangel 's Black Ops X-Force team to proactively eliminate threats to the mutant race with the only rule being that no one, not even the X-Men, could ever know that they exist. During this meeting, Archangel told Wolverine that, despite being employed by Archangel for over a year, Deadpool never cashed any of the checks for his services.

There was also some bad tension between Deadpool and Fantomex , which leads to them going different ways. Deadpool ends up being the one to kill The World's Father by cutting his head off then putting a sword through it to show the rest of the team. Fantomex is surprised, and they leave in silence. During the invasion of the Serpent and his Worthy , Deadpool attempted to cash in on the fear that was running rampant throughout the world.

To this end, he stole a magic hammer belonging to a pair of werewolf hunters, and then gave it to the dimwitted Walrus , convincing the hapless Mort that he'd been chosen to serve as one of the Worthy. His plan was to send the Walrus rampaging through the town of Cimarron, New Mexico , and then show up and "rescue" the town and collect a hefty fee. The hammer, however, proved to have the ability to negate Deadpool's healing factor during a full moon, and what should have been an easy fight proved nearly fatal.

Initially, he tried to run away, but was confronted by the werewolf hunters, who informed him that the hammer was needed to stop an impending attack by a pack of werewolves. Convinced of the necessity of retrieving the hammer, Deadpool returned to town, and tricked the Walrus into entering the sheriff's office, thus taking it out of the light of the full moon and deactivating its powers. He then promptly shot the Walrus in the shoulder, took back the hammer, and effectively saved the town, though he found to his dismay that the town's cache of Confederate gold had long ago been stolen, and thus they could not pay him for his efforts.

After defeating the intergalactic mercenary, Macho Gomez , Deadpool went on a space odyssey where he saved two civilizations the Urrulians , and the remains of the Ongulians and killed Id, the Selfish Moon of Ego. After a drawn out fight and killing Sluggo, Wade paused and asked his so-thought friends "Is this what you want?! Thanks to his healing factor, Deadpool recovered. After talking with Bob about how he treats his friends, Wade realized what he truly wanted was to die.

After unsuccessfully committing suicide, surviving atomic bombs, and battling the Hulk , Wade was sent to the English prison of Crossmore , where he met doctor Ellen Whitby , who had been secretly obsessed with him for several years. Out of a one-sided love, she helped him escape.

Despite this, Wade rejected her for her creepy infatuation with him. After leaving he encountered the local law enforcement which inadvertently led to Wade taking the Queen of England hostage. After having a talk with the Queen, she convinced Deadpool that Whitby was his responsibility. After going to her apartment, he found many of his own severed body parts in the fridge. After confronting Whitby she killed herself, and Wade threw the frozen body parts in a dumpster and left.

Afterward, the parts thawed and healed together to form an even more deformed and very sadistic clone of Deadpool. Both Deadpools managed to get to New Jersey on their own.

Wade met Evil Deadpool at his favorite chimichanga restaurant, which Evil Deadpool blew up. After a long fight and running out of bullets, the Deadpools agreed to meet and fight at Canarsie Park. After another fight and another explosion, Evil Deadpool escaped while Wade was confronted by Captain America. After careful contemplation of Evil Deadpool's next move, Wade decided that his clone's motivation must be to one-up the original Deadpool.

After some planning, Wade proceeded to publicly kidnap a random child in hope that this would draw out Evil Deadpool. However, Evil Deadpool had already predicted this and kidnapped the police chief's children and sent a message to the parents that he had done so leading to the chief to believe the real Deadpool had kidnapped his children , and then took out Captain America who had been watching Wade and knew that Wade was never anywhere near those children.

After Cap recovered and Interpol became involved, Cap informed the chief that Deadpool couldn't have kidnapped his children and so all were led to believe he had an accomplice.

After some time passed, Wade realized that he had been played, freed the child and escaped. Using a teleportation device, Evil Deadpool lured the police chief and Deadpool into a trap to make it appear that Deadpool had killed the chief and his children, this failed however and the chief escaped with his children.

Evil Deadpool then explained to Wade that his motivations were to show him that no matter what good he accomplishes people would only ever see him as a monster. Just then, Captain America and the police arrived at the scene and told both to stand down. Evil Deadpool raised his weapon at them and was shot down in a hail of bullets. After he was down, it is seen that he was hit with a special dart that none of the police claim to have fired, and all of Evil Deadpool's scars fade until he appears a regular human and dies.

After witnessing that there was a way to kill him, Wade stole Evil Deadpool's teleportation device and escaped. Wilson started a plan to get the serum used to neutralize Evil Deadpool's healing factor, so he could finally be with his beloved Death. Meanwhile Daken stole a sample of the serum from Tombstone which he later used to shoot Wolverine. In the midst of the chaos, Deadpool was injected with another sample of the serum by Bob which he got from Tombstone after conspiring with him against Wade , who was then angered after finding out that Wade had planned for this all along.

Wade then went to X-Force to learn that the serum was made specifically for his DNA, and thus had no effect on Wolverine. After learning that everything was planned by Wade, X-Force too was angered and decided to kill Wade after he had escaped from them.

After fighting and escaping from Tombstone, Wade was confronted by an angry Bob. After this and seeing that his deformities were cured by the serum Wade resolved not to die. Later, the two confronted X-Force. After making amends, they let Wade leave to help the injured Bob. After he lost his healing factor, Wilson claimed he felt "more alive than ever. Taskmaster asked Wilson to help him steal Pym Particles from S.

Taskmaster also sold the knowledge to one of Wade's old enemies, the Black Box. Wade managed to defeat the villains recruited by Black Box, Black Tom, and Black Swan, but in the process his face was burned and disfigured again. 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 nemeses of Deadpool such as T-Ray and Slayback and trained them in order to kill the merc.

Deadpool infiltrated their base and managed to get T-Ray and Slayback killed. When Kemp was about to kill herself in a explosion, which would also kill Wade in the process, he convinced her not to.
