*"Jack"'s early years are relatively unknown, even to him. What little is known is that his father was abusive, his mother died of cancer, and he grew up to be a delinquent, most likely in response to his father's abuse.
*Joined US Army Special Forces. Then kicked out. Then became a mercenary, but only killed those he thought deserved it. Eventually forced to go on the run by angry employers, and injured in the process.
*Taken in by Wade and Mercedes Wilson, and nursed back to health. Eventually he attacked Wade, hoping to steal his identity, and left him for dead. Accidentally killed Mercedes in the process, and the fact that he killed an innocent person left the unstable Jack completely unhinged, and convinced he /was/ Wade Wilson
*Returned to being a mercenary, under the name Wade Wilson. Hired by the Boss to infiltrate a sumo-wrestling ring owned by a rival, Oyakata. Got romantically involves with Oyakata's daughter, and was ordered to assassinate Oyakata. He refused and fled Japan instead.
*Returned to America, fell for a teenage prostitute named Vanessa Carlysle.
*Hired by Middle Eastern interests to assassinate a blind British operative, Althea AKA Blind Al. He killed everyone at the base /except/ Blind Al, who managed to escape. As punishment for his failure, Vanessa was targeted by his employers. However she was rescued by Zoe Culloden, an employee of an interdimensional firm, who had Wilson under surveillance, due to prophecies her firm had access to, indicating he might play a role in saving the world.
*Eventually developed cancer, and convinced to sign on with Canada's Weapon-X program by Garrison Kane, Department-K, which gave him an experimental treatment to give him Wolverine's healing factor. His cancer was also healed by the healing factor causing his body to conflict with itself, cancer fighting with health, He washed out of the Weapon-X program, and was sent to a secret facility for said wash-outs.
*Suicidal from the pain, he made friends with a man commonly called Worm, and also met Death, who he thought was a good reason to die. His plan for death: Mock the stronger, faster, and more twisted The Attending, AKA Francis(whose name Wilson used to mock him). Instead of killing Wilson, Francis lobotomized Worm. Wilson euthenized Worm, and took revenge for not being allowed to die, killing Francis, proclaiming Wade Wilson dead, and taking on the mantle Deadpool, and discarding the vestiges of his sanity.
*Deadpool served as enforcer for crime boss Hammerhead, and eventually returned to his freelance mercenary activities. Made a costume for himself and his 'secret identity'. Employed by the Kingpin, and clashed with Wolverine.
*Caught up with Blind Al and imprisoned her in his home, killing anyone Al sought for help. She eventually gave up trying to escape.
*Returned to the Canadian government, was treated by Doctor Walter Langkowski, and acquired a teleporter. Eventually cut ties with the Canadian government.
*Hired by the criminal Wizard, but accidently went to the wrong address and got hired to do a job impersonating Hobgoblin.
*Briefly joined up with Taskmaster, Constrictor, and Wizard in a version of the Frightful Four.
*Deadpool tried to return to being Kingpin's assassin, but is thwarted by his new assassin, Bullseye.
*Started frequenting a merc hangout called the Hellhouse, where Patch issued assignments. Clashed with T-Ray, a voodoo-sorcerer, and assassin whom he immediately disliked.
*Found employment with a time-traveling arms dealer Tolliver, and wound up with Sluggo and Copycat. Tolliver sent Copycat to impersonate another mutant merc, Domino.
*Deadpool recruits a man named Weasel to act as his weapon supplier, and they became fast friends, despite numerous acts of violence against Weasel.
*Was sent by Tolliver to take on the mutant Cable. Eventually lost the fight and was shipped back to Tolliver in a box.
*Insane=Deadpool sees things, hears things, and understands things that no one else does, leaning on or making references to the fourth wall(which rarely make sense to anyone else). While he's capable of making sense, he's also capable of confusing the hell out of just about anyone. Including players. No yellow boxes, but the yellow text is a nice stand in!
*Wisecracking=Deadpool has a joke for just about every occasion, and is not hesitant at all to express them. His sense of humor varies from being sarcastic and sharp, to absurd, to utterly sadistic. For example, he likes to call guns Doorknobs,which has lead to some unusual conversations. Doorknobs don't kill people, I do!
*Dissociative Identity Disorder=Deadpool suffers from this. Otherwise known as multiple personality disorder, it again makes him unpredictable, making this his greatest strength and weakness at the same time. This is a carry-over from when he would assume new identities early in his mercenary career, before taking up the mantle of Deadpool. Once he snapped, he no longer knew who he was.I'm schizophrenic and so am I!
*Broken=Part of the reason Deadpool is so insane due to his remarkably tragic past. He was never entirely stable, but events, such as when a friend was lobotomized to punish Deadpool's behavior drove him farther from sanity. Even the source of his healing factor is traumatic. All he had signed up for was a cure for his cancer, what he got was an experimental injection which caused his cancer to be irrevocably tied to his new healing factor.
*Deathseeker=Deadpool wants to die, but has a great deal of difficulty doing so due to his healing factor. As a result, he's more willing to take high risk missions. Unfortunately for his employers, this also means he doesn't care overmuch about his success. He has tried accomplishing this a number of ways, most notably by mocking those more powerful than him to goad them into attacking..
*Awesome=I'm awesome, just ask me.
REGENERATIVE HEALING FACTOR: Deadpool possesses a superhuman healing factor, copied from Wolverine. It allows him to heal with far greater speed and efficiency than a normal human. His healing ability is actually superior to Wolverine's, as he's able to regrow missing limbs and organs, and can survive brain injuries that would kill most others. Alternatively, he can also reattach his head or limbs to himself, so long as they're placed properly. Deadpool had cancer when he underwent the gene therapy that gave him this power, so as a result, his body is covered in scars from the cancer cells being driven to overdrive by his healing factor.
FOREIGN CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: Deadpool is highly resistant to most drugs and toxins. For example, alcohol affects him a lot less than a normal person, making it very difficult, though not impossible, for him to get drunk. For a frame of reference, it would take three doses of elephant tranquilizer before he'd be affected by it. 5 before he is knocked out.
DISEASE IMMUNITY: The properties of Deadpool's healing factor also extend to his immune system, rendering him immune to all known infections and diseases.
EXTENDED LONGEVITY: Deadpool's healing factor has affected his longevity to an unknown degree, but all but guaranteeing him an exceptionally long life.
PEAK HUMAN CONDITION: Thanks to Deadpool's healing factor, Deadpool's strength, reflexes, speed, and agility are all at the peak of human ability. He can go toe-to-toe with any olympian and make them work to tie with him.
SUPERHUMAN ENDURANCE: Thanks to Deadpool's healing factor, Deadpool's ability to engage in physical activity for a prolonged period of time, has his muscles produce much less fatigue toxins than average. As a result, Deadpool can run for approximately 4 days before he starts to feel fatigued. After 6 days, he'd be totally exhausted.
ARSENAL: Deadpool has a wide variety of weapons available to him. He almost always has a pair of katanas on him, and handguns. Other equipment he has available include machine guns, grenades, rocket launchers, sai, knives, a rubber duck, and an inflatable sheep gun.
TELEPORTATION DEVICE: Deadpool carries a device that allows him to teleport himself out of(and occasionally into) trouble. It can teleport him and two others up to 10,000 miles. It works in two modes; waypoint teleportation, allowing him to teleport to a preset destination at a range, and for shorter-range hops, he can teleport in conjunction with a wrist-mounted laser set to a unique frequency for guidance. It has a self charging power-cell, which takes two days to charge if totally exhausted, and the amount of power drained from the cell is directly proportional to the distance he travels. So the total distance he can travel, on a full battery, is 10,250 miles. It is sometimes subject to malfunction, sending him to the wrong location, or failing entirely. It works more often than not, however.
FUNDS: Being a skilled mercenary, despite being unpredictable, commands high fees. As a result he has a large pool of money available to him, which fluctuates a bit, but is usually maintained around $900,000 US.
SCARRED: Out of costume, Deadpool's disfiguring scars draw a lot of attention, and even disgust when viewed by others.
ANNOYING: Deadpool's unpredictable nature causes him to confound and annoy others, allies and enemies alike, making difficult for anyone to team up with him, and almost invariably insuring that team-ups aren't repeated, and often, where some enemies might hold back, simply wanting to defeat their opponents, opponents facing Deadpool don't.
ALTERED HUMAN: Deadpool is genetically altered, and to laymen who dislike mutants, is indistinguishable from them. Thus he suffers the same sort of prejudice other mutants suffer.
DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER: Deadpool suffers from DID, otherwise known as Multiple Personality Disorder, and this is one of his greatest strengths, and one of his greatest weaknesses at the same time. It's a trial on his enemies because they can rarely ever predict what he will do. It's a trial on his allies and even himself for much the same reason. From one moment to the next, he might change his, going from a sadistically humored mercenary to a cold-blooded killer, or to a happy-go-lucky individual(granted, it's unusual even for Deadpool). He may lose interest in whatever his current goals are, to his detriment, and to the chagrin of his employers, who often become his enemies as a result of him changing his mind in the middle of a job.
ENEMIES: Deadpool makes enemies like other people make coffee. Every morning. Sometimes black, sometimes with sugar, but he makes them a lot. Sometimes it's former teammates driven to distraction and eventual animosity by his antics. Others, it's unsatisfied employers. And other times, they're targets he's hired to take out. In the end, he makes a lot of enemies, and very few friends.
CANCER: The same cancer that disfigures him also prevents his healing factor from rendering him immobile with growths caused by the healing factor. The two cause a weird sort of balance, and if either is taken away from him, it will either turn him into a blob of growths as the healing factor goes unchecked, or into a corpse as the cancer kills him.
