"The one thing that never survives this place is a sense of humor."

- Ajax to Deadpool

Francis Freeman, better known as Ajax, is an enemy of Deadpool. He is a British mutant whose powers allow him to feel no pain, as well as give him super strength. He, along with his henchwoman, Christine, ran a private organization called Weapon X. Weapon X's experiments caused Wade to be disfigured and obtain his healing factor, thus what resulted in him becoming Deadpool.

After Wade reconsidered undergoing the operation promised to cure his cancer, he accepted The Recruiter's offer, and was taken to the Weapon X facility. Ajax injected Wade with a serum, then he and Christine tortured him for days to unlock his mutation. After no success, Wade's healing factor was triggered in an airtight chamber that removed his cancer but severely disfigured him, after depriving him of oxygen. Eventually, Wade blew up the airtight chamber after he dropped a match in it, which caused much of the facility to blow up. Ajax and Wade fought in the burning facility, but Wade was impaled with rebar and left for dead.

Later, Wade, now dubbed "Deadpool", fought Ajax after attacking a convoy of cars on an expressway. When Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Colossus distracted Deadpool, Ajax escaped.

Ajax and Christine attack Vanessa in an alley, knocking her out, and taking her as a hostage. Deadpool, Colossus, and Negasonic arrive at the aircraft carrier where Vanessa is being held hostage, after getting a cab ride from Dopinder. Deadpool kills Ajax's henchmen, and then fights him, while Colossus and Negasonic fight Christine.

After a confrontation, the carrier blows up, and Ajax is badly beaten. When Deadpool asks for the cure for his condition, Ajax says there was no cure, and he was never being cured for cancer to begin with. Frustrated, Deadpool is about to kill Ajax, but is stopped by Colossus who tells him to be a hero. While Colossus is giving a speech about heroism, Deadpool gets bored and kills Ajax by shooting him in the head.
