More commonly referred to as "the merc with the mouth", Deadpool is always on your side...for the right price. A mercenary for hire, Deadpool unwillingly traded his good looks for his abilities when he was stricken with a deadly disease. He found a cure through the Weapon X program, but what saved his life left him permanently disfigured. His opponents often wonder which is more dangerous, his fighting skills, or his never ending wise-cracking comments.
