Name: Wade Winston Wilson, Deadpool
Origin: Marvel Comics

Classification: Human Mutate/Military Experiment, Mercenary
Powers and Abilities:
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics
- Weapon Mastery (Deadpool's main method of combat is a combination of swordsmanship and sharpshooting, mainly through the dual wielding of katanas and handguns, as well as a generous usage of explosives. Overtime Deadpool has skillfully utilized any weapon conceivable, from all epochs and places, not being stranger even to alien, futuristic and generally bizarre weaponry. Fought and killed numerous high profile assassins at the same time.[1] Capable of efficient multitasking[2] for offensive purpose)
- Superhuman Precision (Has consistently[3] been able to strike[4] even difficult targets with great accuracy[5] without having to look[6] at them. Sniped Red Hulk's ear a great distance away.[7] Gunned down multiple opponents near instantly.[8] Threw his sword right into the barrel[9] of a shotgun. Landed multiple, precise and quick shots[9] on an elf who was holding a hostage)
- Martial Arts (Deadpool is a master of unarmed combat and is just as skilled in it as he is with weapons, for he always combines the two arts in battle with great finesse. Noted 35 different weaknesses in an opponent's combat style and exploited them.[10] In a fight against Taskmaster, Deadpool managed to switch from conventional martial arts to an effectic yet erratic and unpredictable fighting style, thus exploiting his opponent's weakness.[11] Performed a flying head slam while standing on a running bus.[12] Subdued Death Grip with a surprise assault[13])
- Pressure Points (Stroke Trapster's Adam's apple[14] to silence him)
- Acrobatics (Can jump from extremely high altitudes[15] and land with skill and nonchalance.[16] His fighting style integrates[15][17] a lot of leaping maneuvers[18] and attacks.[19][20] Can deliver precise shots even when cartwheeling through the air.[21] Performed a backflip[22] to avoid incoming projectiles. Swiftly outmaneuvered various heroes all at once[23])
- Stealth Mastery (Broke into a highly guarded prison[25]. Can pickpocket effectively during combat.[26] Led three members of the Carnage Hive into a deadly trap[27] and later he did the same[28] to Carnage himself. Can effectively create distractions in the midst of combat in order to leave the opponent vulnerable[13])
- Social Influencing (Deadpool is an expert at using banter to distract his opponent in combat[11] and such trait often recurs in his stories. Pacifically resolved a conflict with an army of trolls.[6] Proved himself too annoying even for Mephisto himself, who eventually surrendered and cancelled the contract which bound him to Hell;[29] He later did the same to Nightmare, who agreed to help him out upon having had enough of his antics.[30] Often pretends to fall[31] for mind control in order to lull the opponent into a false sense of security[27])
- Vehicular Mastery (Can operate a plane[2])
- Regeneration (Mid-High) and Immortality (Type 3) (Deadpool's most prominent power is his notorious healing factor, implanted onto him by Weapon X and meant to replicate Wolverine's. Although inconsistent in its speed and lacking of a precise explanation for it, such a trait is well-established in its ability to make Deadpool nearly unkillable and incredibly resilient. His bones[32] heal from fractures in mere moments.[33] Can reattach[5] his limbs almost instantaneously[34] and recovered from decapitation[35] in under 10 minutes. Healed a sword slice midway along his skull[36] in seconds. Can regenerate body parts such his whole skeleton[37][38] and his legs[15] in a short time and has once regenerated his head whole in 13 minutes].[39] Regrew his entire body from his head alone in less than a week.[40] In his most impressive showing, he resurrected from being reduced to ashes after mere hours[41])
- Body Control (Even when dismembered, the pieces of Deadpool's body can act independently from the brain, as seen when they rescued the head that was stolen by Kraven[42])
- Minor Sound Manipulation: (His disembodied head can keep talking[43] despite being called out for its lack of vocal cords)
- Limited Disease Manipulation (Deadpool's healing factor was specifically engineered for his own cancer-ridden body and calibrated to replace the cells which were gradually killed off. When installed within a healthy body, this healing factor would cause an unstoppable production of excessive cells[44] which leads the host to physical deformation and eventual death)
- Hammerspace (His pockets contain an impossible amount of objects.[45] Pulled out an oversized gun from literally nowhere[46])
- Limited Supernatural Luck (The only time Deadpool was actually willing to let himself be murdered by a killer who could take him down for good, a series of impossibly convenient coincidences occurred one after another[47] and allowed his survival)
- Breaking the Fourth Wall (Deadpool's signature trait is the awareness of living inside a comic book and it characterizes a large amount of his antics. Such perception encompasses many forms, such as references to meta-narative elements or to pop culture from the real world, among many other possible examples, for it is nearly omnipresent in his stories. Under normal circumstances, Deadpool is always aware of the fourth wall[48] and its various elements. Because most people lack the same degree of awareness, Deadpool is often considered crazy[49] by other characters)
- Limited Dimensional Travel and Limited Creation (Entered Gwenpool's Gutter Space on his own and made a physical flowchart for her[50])
- Resistance to
- Poison Manipulation (His healing factor could eventually catch up with poison damaging his body.[51]. Casually avoided being drugged due to every cell in his body regenerating, claiming that poison doesn't have enough time to affect him][52])
- Sleep Manipulation (Shrugged off two darts carrying medical-grade tranquilizers, which knocked out his fellow monsters and might have killed a human such as Chet[53])
- Paralysis Inducement (His fast metabolism allowed him to fully recover in about 22h hours from a paralytic venom which was supposed to keep him completely paralyzed for a much longer time[18])
- Petrification (Spontaneously healed from petrification[54] within seconds)
- Biological Manipulation (Limited. Completely unaffected by an attack which exploits nerves[55] due to them having died a long time ago)
- Mind Manipulation (Claimed to be impervious to mind control after resisting said power from Dracula.[56] Unaffected by hypnotic attacks such as Will O' the Wisp's lights[27] and Last Bite's gaze[31])
- Telepathy (An entity with the ambition to consume all consciousness into its own found difficult to access and consume his mind.[57] The chaos in his mind made it hard for Psylocke to get information from him with her powers.[58] Claimed that having one's mind reaching inside his head never worked out well for mind-readers due to his brain cells constantly regenerating[59])
- Madness Manipulation (Went crazy by looking into a rock with that effect and had his healing factor fix his broken brain.[60] Ended up going sane/happy from Madcap's powers, which should make targets insane, although he was still affected by them[61])
- Memory Manipulation (Can regrow memories[62])
- Death Manipulation (Survived "the power of instant death",[63] surprising his aggressor)
- Cold (Walked around in -42 degree weather for 3 days straight[64])
- Electricity Manipulation (Has been struck by lightning at least 27 times in 42 seconds and was seemingly unharmed.[65] Suffered only superficial burns from an electric blast powerful enough to annihilate common humans.[66] Withstood Storm's lightning bolt[67])
- Corruption and Possession (Withstood the infected Bloodstone, which was killing Elsa Bloodstone, and engaged in a long fight while suffering from its effects, one of which being the transferal of the Bone Beasts queen's essence into him[68][68])
- Some of Gwenpool's Powers: (Limited; Gwenpool's meta-narrative ability that always guarantees her victory ceased to work on Deadpool the moment he realized he was being subjected to a plot device, thus allowing him to break free from its influence and turn the tides of their battle[5])
- Self-Destruction (His weapons are rigged with an autodestruct[69])
- Explosion Manipulation (Has access to a variety[32] of bombs[47] and explosives[43] capable of unleashing blasts[27] of enormous[17] proportions)
- Temperature Manipulation (Carries thermite grenades[70] and liquid nitrogen[71])
- Light Manipulation (Via thermite grenades[72] and flashbangs[73])
- Fire Manipulation (Via napalm grenades[74])
- Smoke Manipulation (Via smoke[75] grenades[13])
- Status Effect Inducement (Via sleeping gas pellets[76])
- Enhanced Senses (Possesses thermal vision binoculars[77])
- Limited Resistance to Electricity Manipulation (Has rubber soles capable of enduring high voltage shocks[78])
Used to have the following powers: Immortality (Types 1 and 5) and Resistance to Death Manipulation (Was cursed by Thanos to be immortal, which left his soul unable to enter the afterlife even if he was completely destroyed and made him unable to be killed even by Death herself, but he lost these abilities after the curse was lifted)
Attack Potency: Wall level+ (Comparable to Daredevil, Punisher and Kingpin. Smashed Punisher into a car[83], which caused this much damage. Punched Batroc through the ceiling of a cave[5] leaving behind a large hole), up to Large Building level+ with his weapons (His guns have been shown to be able to kill Spider-Man[84] and have been shown to harm Carnage.[85] His bombs have enough firepower to generate titanic explosions)
Speed: Hypersonic combat and reaction speed (Should be comparable to Captain America. Dodged gunshots at close range[86])
Lifting Strength: Class K (Carried a gigantic bomb, which weighed this much, toppled a gigantic statue, weighing this much, tore off a metal control panel)
Striking Strength: Wall level+
Durability: Wall level+ (Survived being thrown with enough force to make a crater in the wall[70]). Regeneration makes him hard to kill
Stamina: Superhuman (The combination of Deapool's healing factor, self-destructive tendencies and reckless nature has basically made him unhealthily accustomed to even the most excruciating pain. After years and years of suffering,[9] Deadpool has gotten used to stabbing,[65] slashing,[28] gunshots, broken bones,[32] maiming[20] and much more, all the way to complete dismembering, confident that his regeneration shall inevitably take care of it all. Deadpool oftenly welcomes wounds and disregards danger out of sheer boredom, confidence, stupidity and will to taunt the opponent,[32] but he often[87] utilizes such perk for unconventional[27] strategy.[28] Deadpool can take inhuman[34] punishment before passing out[37] and can generally remain conscious[88] even when he should logically incapacitated,[28] going as far as remaining awake when reduced to only his disembodied head.[43] The quickness of his healing factor, and his tenacity which compensate for the eventuality of its absence, allow Deadpool to spring back to action after brief periods of time or simply push through damage and keep fighting[89] even in the most unlikely[21][13] situations)
Range: Standard Melee Range physically, Extended Melee Range to Hundred of Meters with various weapons, Interdimensional via Dimensional Travel
Standard Equipment: A pair of katanas, a pair of pistols, combat knives, pouches containing various equipment, various types of explosives, anything he can pull out of his hammerspace.
- Optional Equipment: Innumerable types of weapons,[27] Grappling Hook Gun,[66] Chitauri hand cannon[79]
Intelligence: Gifted (Deadpool is very seasoned mercenary, with a career spanning across many years. Over the course of his life has has performed (oftenly even accomplished) many different assignments, including assassination, espionage, theft, rescuing and son on, a list too long for the count. He has been a prominent member of several high-profile teams, most notably X-Force and some iterations of the Avengers, as well as a number of mercenary agencies, some even led by him. Deadpool is widely (and infamously) renowned within the community of metahumans, amongst both heroes and villains, due to having been a recurrent ally, foe or close acquaintance of nearly everyone. The many adventures he has partaken have led him to every corner of the world and oftentimes even across the universe, other dimensions and different time periods. Few are the beings with whom Deadpool has not contended, for he has fought (and killed) all sorts of superpowered individuals, assassins, monsters, aliens and weird creatures in general.
Deadpool's antics are misleading of his actual worth and everyone who mistakes him for a fraud eventually pays the price. Despite often spiraling into incompetence out of pure carelessness, Deadpool's true competence as a warrior and strategist emerge the very moment he decides to act seriously. Thanks to his skill, Deadpool has lived through the most absurd situations, facing death countless times and living to tell the tale)
Weaknesses: Wade is highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts without the slightest provocation. His incessant talking has also caused problems to cooperate with him in team efforts. He is afraid of being genuinely alone. Relies too much on his healing factor and this compromises his fighting style and efficiency when deprived of his main superpower.[90]
