Deadpool

Deadpool made his debut in February 1991, in The New Mutants #98. Deadpool's look and name were created by Rob Liefeld, but his speaking mannerisms were invented by Nicieza. Liefeld, a Teen Titans enthusiast, determined that Deadpool was similar to "Deathstroke from Teen Titans". Hence, he gave Deadpool the true name "Wade Wilson" in homage to Slade Wilson (Deathstroke).

Another source of inspiration for Deadpool was the superhero Spider-Man, who would often crack jokes during battles. Deadpool is a superhero who is linked to a number of other superheroes. The character Deadpool himself also has some romantic feelings for Spider-Man, as seen in the comics.

The character's backstory has been described as ambiguous and prone to change. Deadpool is unable to recall his own past throughout the narrative, owing to a mental illness. In volume #33, the character T-ray claimed that he is the actual Wade Wilson, while Deadpool is a just horrible killer who stole his identity. Ever since then, fans have been debating whether Deadpool’s real name is Wade Wilson or not.
