Seems marvel was once agian (will it ever end) doing a comic book character based movie and decided on probably my fav. comic character after Spawn. If the name doesn't ring a bell hopefully most of you will remember him by this pic-
For those who aren't familiar with Dead Pool, this is some info on the character from the ign's article-
"Vulgar mercenary Deadpool is actually Wade Wilson: Diagnosed with cancer, the gun-for-hire left the woman he loved and accepted an unorthodox offer of salvation. Playing upon his hope for a cure, the Weapon X scientists attempted to recreate Wolverine's genetically endowed healing factor through artificial means. Although successful, the Byzantine procedure left Wilson's epidermis and face a horridly callused mess. Considered a failure, he was consigned to a prison laboratory for program rejects. Unable at first to accept his mangled appearance, Wilson slipped into the darkest pit of his soul. He killed several guards and escaped – dubbing himself 'Deadpool,' after the facility. Some time later, he re-emerged as one of the world's foremost mercenaries-for-hire."
The site adds that " Deadpool possesses the normal strength of a man of his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise. Deadpool's only known power is his superhuman healing factor, which is a recreation of the one possessed by the mutant Wolverine. He is an extraordinary hand-to-hand combatant and is skilled in several unarmed combat techniques. Deadpool employs a number of weapons, including various blades and guns, which he utilizes as both a master marksman and swordsman."
The movie is being done by the same folks who worked on the Blade movies which are my fav. movies done on any marvel character yet. Though im not expecting this movie to be great i hope its atleast as fun and thrilling to watch as the Blade & X-Men flicks.
