Wade Winston Wilson, known as Deadpool, is a mercenary from Marvel Comics. He is a Canadian-born former Weapon X experiment whose artificial healing factor makes him nearly immortal, though it left him scarred. He first appeared as a villain in New Mutants #98 in February 1991, created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza, and became a breakout character with his own series from 1997.

He is known as the Merc with a Mouth for his nonstop wisecracking and his habit of breaking the fourth wall to talk to the reader. He is a skilled assassin, swordsman and martial artist who has worked for and against the X-Men, the Avengers and X-Force. His former enemy Cable became a frequent partner and close friend, and their combative loyalty is the driving force of many stories. Beneath the jokes, he is often described as lonely and always looking for someone who can accept him.
