However, due to various government programs like Weapon X which enhanced its abilities, his memories are continuously altered or erased.

Deadpool’s Origins 

Deadpool (Wade Wilson) is well known as “the Merc with a Mouth” because of his amazing wisecracks and breaking of the fourth wall.

He employs unconventional methods such as martial arts blended with acrobatics, gunplay, and chaotic improvisation in his fighting style.

With all his brute force, fighting techniques, and sharp claws, he might be unbeatable during battles. His enhanced smelling sense also enables Wolverine to locate enemies or notice danger much earlier than anyone else does.

Deadpool: He’s wielding numerous diverse kinds of weapons like katanas, handguns, or even different kinds of explosives. Furthermore, he’s also a master when it comes to using his environment in such a way that will give him more advantage whenever he engages in a fight. They can be well said to serve as his trademark characteristics since he kills using them with utmost accuracy while blending them with firearms resulting in lethal ranged and melee combats.
