| ~ Deadpool explaining his red outfit. |
| “ | All that peace I felt is gone. I ruin it because I can. Because it's easy. I've fought for Preston. For the Camachos. I've fought for my friends. I've tried to make these people not just safe, but happy. I didn't go looking for these people. They walked into my life. And now the imbalance is restored. I've fought for the happiness of everyone around me. I've been willing to die for that happiness. I now realize I've never experienced happiness. I put on a good show... I simply don't know the meaning of the word... And I never will. | „ |
| ~ Deadpool |
Wade Tyler Winston Wilson Sr. better known as Deadpool, is one of the main protagonists of the Marvel Universe, serving as the titular main protagonist of the comic book series of the same name.
He is a mutant mercenary with an insatiable bloodlust and an ability to break the fourth wall, usually aware of whatever medium he is in. However, because of his moral code, he (generally) does as much good things as he does bad. He is the arch-rival of Thanos and his archenemies both Madcap and T-Ray.
Biography
There is no escaping the fact that for all of his banter, popularity, and personality, Deadpool is at heart a merciless assassin and psychopath: he has killed many people who deserved it but has also been quite happy to do away with innocent people for the right price. He is sometimes even willing to kill people he worked with in the past for a quick buck.
Deadpool has always inhabited a crazy world of his own and as such really doesn't fit well with our ideals of "good" and "evil" - he can be a hero one moment and a villain the next. With this insane mind, he often breaks the 4th wall in many works he appears in, and people don't understand what he means as he is doing so.
This often results in both villains and heroes disliking him because of his unpredictable nature and annoyance at what they perceive as annoying antics. Even Spider-Man (who is ironically just as infamous for his jokes) could not stand his talking at first.
Other Media
Hulk Vs Wolverine
Deadpool was part of the Weapon X crew and an antagonist in this animated special - he worked alongside famous Wolverine foes Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike, and Omega Red. However, he showed himself as a trickster and psychopath just as he has always done in the past and became a more neutral force as the story progressed. On the hand, he does mention doing things his mainstream counterpart wouldn't even thinking of doing like "killing babies", though it's actually quite faithful to his earliest appearances, making this the closest incarnation to how Deadpool was originally written.

First Timeline
Deadpool was a villain in the live-action movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine - though this was a very different Deadpool from the wise-cracking anti-hero of the comic books, in the movie he was also given more powers than he traditionally has in the comic books - he is also mute (having no mouth to speak off) - instead of having two swords he actually has two extendable blades that can come out of his arms, similar to Baraka and was a brutal fighter working for William Stryker.
In the end, he was decapitated by Wolverine but it required a team-up with his traditional rival, Sabretooth, to stand a chance against this powerful incarnation of Deadpool.
Second Timeline
- Main article: Deadpool (X-Men Movies)

After his girlfriend dies from an assassin, Deadpool decides to join the X-Men and protect Firefist from Cable of an alternate future.

Fortnite
Deadpool appeared as one of the main antagonist of Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 2 and Chapter 2: Season 3 as a member of the GHOST faction of Midas' Crew (at the time known as The Agency) who opposed the SHADOW faction of the same organization. He was one of the 8 best agents of the whole organization, alongside Midas (the founder and leader of The Agency), Brutus (second-in-command), Meowscles, Skye, TNTina, Gear Specialist Maya and Agent Peely. All of them were also in the Chapter 2: Season 2 battle pass, with Deadpool being the Secret Outfit. The context of how he joined and why was never revealed, however by the time of Chapter 5: Season 3 Deadpool returned and now search Midas, seemingly wanting to return under him as a member of the crew.
Personality
Deadpool has always been an unpredictable and mentally unstable individual, and over time, became more comical, since he filled the role of a villain in his early appearances. Deadpool's most noticeable personality trait is probably his sheer insanity, as he often goes from violent to calm, to violent again. Because of his mental illness, Deadpool is also very comical and will often make jokes in the middle of a fight. He also has a habit of annoying people by talking too much, something which he often does to Iron Man.
Lastly, despite his mental instability, Deadpool is not completely heartless and has saved the day many times, such as when he killed his evil counterparts and when he saved Nick Fury from a time traveling Adolf Hitler.
