<div class="floatleft">(http://lvls.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/deadpool.jpg?w=604)</div><strong>Student Name:</strong>Wade Winston Wilson<br/><br/><strong>Avenger Name:</strong>Deadpool<br/><br/><strong>Apparent Age:</strong>He's registered in Stormvalley High as being 18. He answers as such, and looks the part, but nobody truly knows. His combat experience would suggest otherwise.<br/><br/><strong>Civilian Appearance:</strong>Wade (http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvaz8fpA7I1qkmg8po1_250.jpg) stands at an even six feet tall, weighing in at 200 lbs. His body is scared due to torture he'd endured early on, but most of his scars are around his left pectoral, where his heart had been ripped out. His eyes are hazel and his hair is brown, though often covered in a red, hooded jacket. His outfits usually comprised of said jacket on top of black or white t-shirts with black or blue jeans. His t-shirts are sometimes blank, or have a witty or random comment written on them.<br/><br/><strong>Avenger Appearance:</strong>More often than not, Deadpool sports his usual mercenary getup. Occasionally, however, he likes to mix it up, switching to another outfit for no other reason than to simply wear something different for once.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/3/34131/746206-76856_19286_deadpool_super_super.jpg)</div></div><br/><strong>Marvel Character:</strong>Deadpool, The Merc with a Mouth<br/><br/><strong>History/Significant Events:</strong>Wade Winston Wilson was born to terminal mother and an army general father who, following his Mrs. Wilson's death, became an abusive alcoholic. The influence of his violent father turned Wade into a teenage delinquent. His father was killed by one of Wade's drunken friends in a bar fight and soon after, Wade went to enroll in the United States Army Special Forces. He was kicked out of the army after a short time, and then turned to mercenary work, soon establishing himself as a formidable and successful assassin.<br/><br/>Sometime along the way, he became romantically involved with a young woman named Vanessa Carlysle, a mutant prostitute. Upon learning that he had contracted cancer, he broke it off and left, but was offered hope in the form of Department K, a special weapons development branch of the Canadian government. He became a test subject in Department K’s branch of the joint U.S./Canadian superhuman enhancement project, the Weapon X Program, to great effect. His cancer combated after he was implanted with a healing factor derived from another Department K agent, the mutant Wolverine. Wade was active in a covert field unit for Weapon X, within which he once again met and worked with Vanessa, who took on the alias of Copycat due to the nature of her powers.<br/><br/>During one mission, Wade killed his teammate Slayback and was rejected from the Weapon X Program as a result. He was sent to the Hospice, a facility under the guise of a superhuman treatment center. In reality, the Hospice’s patients served as experimental subjects, with the patients placing bets in a "deadpool" as to how long each subject would live. Wade was subjected to various torturous experiments, forming a semi-romantic relationship with the cosmic entity Death after several near death experiences. Wilson’s emotional strength during his trials earned him the respect of his fellow Hospice patients. After a friend of his had been lobotomized, Wade killed him to end his suffering. However, under Hospice's rules, any patient who killed another was to be executed. Wilson’s heart was torn out and  he was left for dead, but Wilson’s thirst for vengeance was so strong that it jump-started his healing factor, regenerating his heart. Taking the name Deadpool, he escaped from the Hospice with his fellow patients.<br/><br/>Very little is known about his activities from then on. He served as a mercenary all over the world, and so was hard to keep track of. SHIELD did, eventually, catch up to him, and offered him a chance to finally be rid of his cancer, and not simply perpetually hold it at bay. Despite his insanity, he took SHIELD up on its offer, and was subjected to what had been described to him as "a highly risky and experimental procedure." He was, indeed, cured of his cancer before his healing factor could cause the tumors to spread throughout his body, but furthermore, and unbeknownst to him, they had done work to his brain, as well. They found that he would be a valuable asset to the Initiative, provided his mind was stabilized to a certain degree. When he awoke, things seemed to make a bit more sense, though his memories, which he had been clear and vivid to him before, were slightly hazy now. With nowhere else to go, he accepted yet another offering from SHIELD, a new life and role, as an Avenger. For once, he'd be able to fight the good fight, as opposed to fighting for a few Benjamins.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Deadpool didn't earn the title of "Merc with a mouth" for no reason. He's quite the talker, be it in an inner monologue to himself, or to others via a legitimate conversation. He almost always finds the time to pop a joke and make a wisecrack towards someone or something. People often feel that he talks because he's crazy, but in reality, he talks to simply out of habit. Prior to the surgery SHEILD conducted on him, he talked to keep him from regressing farther into insanity, to keep himself from thinking of Weapon X and Hospice and the things that'd been done to him whilst in those places.<br/><br/>Deadpool doesn't have many friends, but with his new, higher degree of mental stability, he finds friendship and allegiance more important than he ever had before. While he doesn't go around actively looking to form some bond with everyone he sees, he's loyal and, in his own way, caring towards those who qualify as a friend. He often finds that he clings to those he cares about, but it is also these same people whom he tries to not be as annoying around. All in all, he's a lighthearted, albeit disturbed individual.<br/><br/>Deadpool also seems to have a greater awareness of his world than most. He is aware that there are...higher powers out there, influencing everything the people of his world do and say, all for their own entertainment. He's not afraid to point this out, going as far as attempting to talk to these higher powers directly, or even referring to himself as a character as apposed to a person. Most people just chalk it up to insanity, but maybe his word has<em>some</em>merit...<br/><br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong>Deadpool possesses an enhanced healing factor derived from Wolverine's, allowing him to regenerate damaged cells at a far greater speed and degree than the average human. That being said, he possesses the ability to regrow and reattach lost limbs and organs, including his head, as long as it is placed on his shoulders once more. Other such effects of his healing factor include a general immunity to poisons and most drugs, an enhanced resistance to diseases, an extended life span and strength, agility and reflexes enhanced to superhuman levels. Unlike Wolverine’s natural healing factor, Deadpool's is mentally driven and constantly at work, which ultimately resulted in his erratic psyche. As his braincells are constantly in flux, only the most powerful of telepaths can control him. Reading his mind has also proved rather difficult. Having been a mercenary from a young age, Deadpool is proficient in both armed and unarmed combat techniques. He is a master of assassination techniques, an excellent marksman, and is highly skilled with bladed weapons.<br/><br/><strong>Fears and Weaknesses:</strong>Though Deadpool doesn't have many distinct weaknesses, his healing factor cannot activate if his brain is destroyed to the very last molecule, and so he can be killed under extreme conditions. His healing factor is also fully responsible for his mental instabilities. SHIELD attempted to remedy this using a highly experimental procedure, but only to limited success. His braincells are always in a constant state of activity. He may have a much, MUCH better grasp on reality now, but he'll always be insane in one way or another.<br/><br/>Deadpool his very physically self conscious, rarely seen without a shirt in fear of revealing his scars. He is also deathly afraid of cows. He finds them menacing...always watching..waiting..he's onto them. His greatest fear, however, is complete isolation. The thought of being totally and truly alone both depresses and frightens him. Unfortunately, in his experience, most people find him mercilessly annoying, and so he often does find himself alone.<br/><br/><strong>Desires and Aversions:</strong>Deadpool would love nothing more but to mean something to someone. He has no fear of death, but still wishes to leave his mark upon the world, knowing that someday he'll be killed somehow. He does, however, hope this mark will be defined by positive actions, as opposed to the things he'd done as a mercenary. Of course, money and women, the things he'd valued as a mercenary, still mean a lot to him today, but the partial reclamation of his sanity has changed his priorities a bit.<br/><br/>There are three things Deadpool primarily hates: Being ignored, cows, and the supervillian T-Ray.
