I post this in the hopes a FReeper might know. I have not a clue.
Deadpool AKA Wade Wilson is a mercenary from Canada, known for his incredibly foul mouth. He got cancer and in a last-ditch effort to keep it from killing him he submitted to a military experiment. Deadpool was cured of cancer but it really disfigured him (he looks like a biblical leper under that mask) however it gave him a healing factor like Wolverine's. Nothing short of a nuclear blast can really kill the guy. He appeared as a villain in the X-Men comics in the early 90s but wound up becoming an anti-hero type.
But I have no interest whatsoever in seeing the movie.
i have no idea... i watched ~20minutes of it and turned it off
