Let us take a brief glimpse at his life:
Deadpool was originally known as Wade Wilson. His mother died when he was young and his father was later killed by one of his friends. After a very brief stint in the military he becomes a mercenary soon after while still being a teenager. Although he was an assassin he had a very moralistic approach towards it. He only killed people he thought deserved to die or who had done some wrong towards him. Later he meets a teenage prostitute Vanessa Carlysle and falls in love with her. But his happiness does not last long and he soon discovers that he has cancer. Rather than telling Vanessa to stay with him, he leaves her without telling her. In Canada he gets involved with a special weapons development branch of the Canadian government - Department K. There he becomes a part of the secret superhuman development program and his cancer is treated mysteriously. But, he then comes into possession of a superhuman healing factor which he acquires from that of the mutant Wolverine. This gave him the power of fast regeneration of cells in his body– faster than any human being. He is thrown out of the program as he kills one the members and induced in another program that deals with failed superhuman operatives. Here is tortured by the deranged duo of Doctor Killebrew and his sadistic assistant Ajax. Deadpool escapes the fraternity with new powers and abilities and here he takes up a new identity – Deadpool.
