Deadpool (Wade Winston Wilson) is a Canadian freelance mercenary who became a superhuman with a regenerative healing factor from the Weapon X program.

Wade Wilson was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada at some point in the 1970s. Formerly a member of the Canadian Special Forces, he moved to New York City, and befriended a bartender named Weasel. Retiring from the military, he became a mercenary-for-hire.

After being diagnosed with terminal cancer in his liver, lungs, prostate and brain, Wade accepted recruitment into the Weapon X program hoping to be cured of his disease. He was injected with a serum designed to activate any dormant mutant genes in him, and subjected to increasingly strenuous rounds of torture meant to force a mutation. The procedure eventually triggered a regenerative healing factor that cured his cancer, but severely disfigured his entire body.
