Deadpool (Wade Winston Wilson) is a fictional antihero appearing in
American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Fabian
Nicieza and artist/writer Rob Liefeld, the character first appeared in The New
Mutants #98 (February 1991). Deadpool was depicted as a supervillain when he
made his first appearance in The New Mutants and later in issues of X-Force,
but has since evolved into the role of an antihero.
Deadpool is a disfigured and
mentally unstable mercenary with the superhuman ability of an accelerated
healing factor. He is known as the "Merc with a Mouth" because of his
talkative nature and tendency to break the fourth wall, which is used by
writers to humorous effect.
The character was portrayed by
Ryan Reynolds in the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, who will reprise the
role in Deadpool, set to be released on February 12, 2016.
