The Birth of Wade Wilson
Our story begins in the early 2000s, with Wade Wilson's origin tale, first told in New Mutants #98 (2003). Wade was a former special forces soldier who became a mercenary, working for the mysterious Amanda Werner. After being diagnosed with cancer, Wade sought out Dr. Killebrew for a cure, who subjected him to experimental treatments. These treatments gave Wade accelerated healing, but also left him disfigured. Enter Francis, a fellow experiment who became Wade's best friend and ally.
Deadpool's Early Days
Wade adopted the name Deadpool and started working for AIM, a criminal organization. During this time, he crossed paths with the X-Men and other heroes, often serving as an anti-hero. His first solo series, Deadpool (2012), by Daniel Way, delved deeper into his past and his relationship with Tigra and Black Widow.
The Merc with a Mouth
Deadpool truly found his voice in the late 2000s, thanks to Joe Kelly and Gail Simone. Their run on Cable & Deadpool (2004-2008) and Deadpool (2008-2012) defined Deadpool as the wisecracking, fourth-wall-breaking character we know and love today. These stories also introduced us to Weasel, Blind Al, and other key figures in Wade's life.
Deadpool Joins the X-Men
In the 2010s, Deadpool became a regular member of the Uncanny X-Force (2010-2013) and the X-Force (2016-2019). These teams saw Wade working alongside other heroes to protect the world from various threats. His time with the X-Men also led to some of his most memorable moments, like his wedding to Vanessa Carlysle (a.k.a. Copycat) and his subsequent divorce.
The Movies: Deadpool Breaks the Fourth Wall
Now, let's talk about the movies, shall we? The Deadpool films (2016, 2018) and X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) brought Wade Wilson to the big screen in a big way. The movies faithfully adapted many elements from the comics, including Deadpool's origin, his relationship with Vanessa, and his battles against Francis (now Ajax) and Blind Al. The films also expanded Wade's universe, introducing us to Dopinder, Juggernaut, and the X-Men.
Deadpool in the Marvel Universe
In the comics, Marvel NOW! (2013) saw Deadpool join the Secret Avengers (2013-2014) and later form his own team, the Mercs for Money (2016-2017). His current series, Deadpool (2019-present), by Kelly Thompson, sees Wade working as a mercenary while also trying to be a better man.
Deadpool's Future
The future looks bright for our favorite merc. With the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) finally acknowledging him, we can expect more Deadpool adventures on the big screen. In the comics, Wade continues to evolve, learning from his past mistakes and forging new alliances. Who knows what the future holds for this unpredictable character? One thing's for sure - it's gonna be a wild ride!
