Wade Wilson is the full package (or so he claims), with devastating damage output, an impenetrable shield, and swift healing. There's no limit to what Deadpool can achieve, as long as he keeps his moves flashy! And, of course, every epic attack comes with an endless barrage of witty banter!

Official article date: 2026/01/15
Wade Wilson prides himself on taking the kinds of jobs that other mercenaries are smart enough to turn down. When Deadpool can't win a battle with humor, charisma, and an endless supply of brutal weapons, he knows his healing factor will pick up the slack!
After the Timestream Entanglement, Deadpool was recruited by the Collector to "save" rare specimens from various realities on the brink of collapse. When tasked with hunting down Rogue and Gambit, however, Deadpool betrayed his benefactor and helped his old friends escape from the Collector's Museum.
