I always forget (or just black out to spare myself the agony) what Wilson's most lethal weapon is... his mouth! He'll talk nonsense until you surrender or commit suicide.

Deadpool (Wade Wilson) is a mercenary and anti-hero appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in The New Mutants #98 (Feb. 1991), created by artist Rob Liefeld and writer Fabian Nicieza.

A disfigured, mentally unstable mercenary with a regenerative healing factor, Deadpool appeared as a villain in New Mutants, and later X-Force. He has since starred in several ongoing series, sharing titles with other characters such as Cable. Known as the "Merc with a Mouth", is famous for his talkative nature and his tendency to "break the fourth wall", which is used by writers for humorous effect.

With his inclusion in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 his ability to break the fourth wall has been taken to a whole new level. The character would become significantly more popular after the release of a 2016 film of the same name, followed by a 2018 and 2024 sequel.
