Wade Wilson

Wade Wilson, Deadpool or Weapon XI is a mutant. He has superhuman strength, stamina, agility, reflexes, and a healing factor. He is an expert marksman, swordsman, and martial artist.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Wade Wilson is teamed up with Logan, Victor Creed, Fred Dukes, John Wraith, Chris Bradley, and Agent Zero on Team X. He is shown to be an excellent mercenary however his witty comments are his flaw, William Stryker even says "You would be the perfect soldier Wade, if it wasn't for that mouth of yours."

When the team breaks up, Stryker experiments on him, giving him additional abilities, acquired from other mutants, such as optic eye blasts (from Scott Summers), teleportation (from John Wraith), technopathy (from Chris Bradley) and regenerative healing (from Wolverine). Stryker also seals Wade's mouth, gives him an Adamantium skeleton and two retractables arm blades and renames him Weapon XI - the mutant "Deadpool". After Logan frees the captured mutants, Stryker activates Weapon XI to fight Logan. In the ensuing fight, he is decapitated by Logan and falls into a nuclear reactor.

After the credits, we get to see the ruins of the building where Deadpool, Victor and Logan fought. Deadpool's arm is shown, as it slowly pulls its implanted blade back inside his body, then it moves further, in search. Deadpool's head is seen, mouth no longer sealed, opening his eyes and whispering a short "Shh" to the audience, revealing that he is still alive.

Character traits
Deadpool Possesses several abilities acquired from several mutants in the film:
 * Optic eye Blasts: Can project powerful red blasts from his eyes (obtained from Cyclops). Normally, his eyes glow red when this ability is used, and they were able to destroy part of the huge smokestack that was used as the location of the final battle. When he is decapitated, his eye beams were still firing, cutting the smokestack in quarters while his head was still falling.
 * Teleportation: (obtained from John Wraith) Can teleport short distances.
 * Regenerative healing factor: (possibly obtained from Logan) Can heal from almost any injury, even decapitation.
 * Electricity manipulation: (Obtained from Bradley) this power allows Deadpool to receive orders from Stryker directly in his brain through electrical devices. It is unknown if he still posses this power after his "death".
 * Adamantium arm blades: Possibly copied from Logan, Deadpool features twin katana-like blades which sprout from his wrists, and he uses these to great effect. As they are unaffected by Logan's adamantium claws, it is possible that they are made of the same material, adamantium.

Relationships

 * Wolverine: Deadpool is instantly hated by Wolverine and eventually at the finale of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Wolverine eventually decapitates him, though he survives.
 * Victor Creed: At the finale of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he joins Wolverine (so he gets the pleasure of killing him), and fights Deadpool.
