Deadpool is a comic book character sometimes depicted as a mercenary or antihero; he appears in books published by Marvel Comics, originally in the X-Men family of titles, but branching out into the more mainstream Marvel Universe in recent years. Created by artist Rob Liefeld and writer Fabian Nicieza, Deadpool first appeared in The New Mutants #98 (February 1991).
Nicknamed the "Merc with a Mouth", Deadpool is a high-tech mercenary known for his wisecracks, black comedy, and satirical pop-culture references. Like the X-Men's Wolverine, Deadpool is the product of the Canadian government's paramilitary Weapon X program, although his place of birth is unknown. After Weapon X cured his terminal cancer by implementing a regenerative "healing factor" extracted from Wolverine, Deadpool is left disfigured and mentally unstable.
I got the comics only very recently..man, it rocks!! Must-read for all Marvel fans! Many people say it's a copy of Spider Man, shit no. Excluding the costume and the way he sneaks up on people. And Deadpool is the only Marvel comic book character who knows he's a comic book character..
Funny how fast the story goes when there're only 12 pages, isnt it?
-Deadpool (In a Deadpool short story)
Again, MUST-READ!!
