The man known as Wade Wilson is a Canadian mercenary also known as Deadpool, who became a test subject of the Weapon X program to cure his cancer. Scientist Emrys Killbrew and his assistant Francis Fanny injected on Wilson with a serum developed from Wolverine's DNA, causing him to develop a healing factor that saved his life, but also disfigured him in the process. Since then, Wilson became an anti-hero and has been affiliated with several organizations, such as Deadpool, Inc., X-Force, Avengers Unity Division, Weapon X, and Deadpool Corps. He also had a daughter with Carmelita Camacho named Ellie Camacho, who later became his sidekick, sharing the name Deadpool. Wilson also had brief relationships with Vanessa Carlysle, Death, and Carmelita Camacho. Despite being associated with mutants, he's not a mutant himself, but a mutate (an enhanced human).
