Deadpool is probably the world's favorite superhero, with the first movie grossing nearly a cool billion dollars. We're pretty certain Deadpool was pleased when he found out his origin story became the highest grossing grown-up-rated movie of all time.

The Merc With A Mouth hasn't only gotten by on his boyish charm and horrible bad looks, however, he's got a whole slew of sidekicks and friends who've helped him along the way. Who cares about those losers though, right? No, we're here today to talk about bodies ladies and gentlemen, more importantly, Deadpool's body.

The thing is a mess first-off, but it has a lot of weird little holes to discover and is bumpy in places you'd never expect, much like a standard American highway. Like an American highway, there's a lot of things entering and exiting it constantly, bullets, blades, Ryan Reynolds, and today we're going to explore all these things.

From that time a severed chunk of his body grew a whole new evil Deadpool, to his stint as a Sumo Wrestler before he had his powers. We're leaving no bit of lumpy flesh unturned here and once you're done reading this article you'll be able to impress your friends and office workers with your knowledge about Deadpool's bodily functions.

W𓂃ithout hol🐬ding back, below are the 25 WEIRDEST facts about Deadpools body.

25 ♔ Man Of Many Faces

Before he started his superhero career, Wade Wilson was a life-taker/mercenary. Maybe. We think, his backstory changes pretty much with each writer who takes the reigns. In one of the many canon backstories he has, Deadpool used to take on hard contracts and missions other soldiers of fortune normally couldn't handle.

In order to get close to his targets and keep his identity secret, after each mission Wade would undergo heavy plastic surgery.

Gaining a new face after every mark in order to co🔜ntinue being the best man for the job.

The mask idea would come far later in his life, only after he no longer needed subterfuge in order to get the job done. In the rare times Wade as Deadpool does need to disguise himself, he's used a holographic projector to give himself a brand new fresh rotting appearance. Which is much simpler than getting a nose job after each mission probably.

This made his early career very formative for the kind of superhero he'd become, learning the strategies and tricks needed to tackle stealth missions. He could become anyone at any time, nobody was safe, several times he would replace someone close to the target and assume their identity.

24 He's Forgotten How Many Times He's Had Amnesia

One of the likely reasons Deadpool's backstory is so complicated is because his brain "don't do the memories too good." Deadpool has gotten full-blown amnesia several times, had his brain turned into goop more times than a Jersey Shore fan and on one occasion swapped minds entirely with someone else.

It's no surprise then that he can't even remember if he's the real Wade Wilson or not.

While his hippocampus regenerates each time it's blown to bits he's clearly losing more of himself. It's only a matter of time before Deadpool forgets entirely about the few loved ones he has left.

Considering his immortality since he can't perish from old age either, eventually much like in the Butterfly Effect, he'll have too many memories stored up unless they keep wiping themselves. Which could one day be a really interesting character arc for the merc with a mouth.

The holes in his memory have been used against him by villains before, some who claim to be people from his past or those who just taunt him by claiming they know things he doesn't. So far Deadpool has prevailed over all of them but maybe one day he'll realize he isn't the real Wade Wilson and what happens then?

23 Bulk'd Up

Deadpool wasn't always skinny. Back at the beginning of his career, he took a tour of Japan, much like Wolverine, to complete a job. That involved infiltrating a sumo ring, which he didn't do so well at until he bulked up and became... well, the proper size for a sumo.

To get that fat must have taken a lot o𒁏f chimichangas.

While he might have a much harder time putting on weight these days, back before he gained his healing factor and his increased metabolism, he apparently didn't have that trouble during this mission. After gaining the weight, he proved to be a nearly unstoppable contender in the underground sumo world. He wound up respecting the man he'd been sent to end and falling in love with his daughter and so ended up abandoning the mission. Sadly, he didn't wind up with the woman he loved as he needed to return for his next mission.

Love just wasn't in the cards for Wade Wilson yet and he made a powerful enemy that day. One that would eventually pursue him as Deadpool for vengeance. His sumo skills, however, came in handy in the future several times, as did his knowledge of Japanese.

22 𒈔 Surprisingly Romantic

Thanks to the cancer that his healing factor is constantly keeping at bay, Deadpool's face is a scarred mess. In the movie, they go into great lengths expressing shock and horror at poor Wade Wilsons disgusting transformation. This doesn't seem to slow Deadpool down at all though when it comes to women.

Wade has a shockingly diverse, scandalous, and consistent love life.

He's kept up relationships with many heroes and even a few civilians who can get past his awful looks. Lady Death's interest in him is legendary for example, much to Thanos' annoyance, and he's even stolen Dracula's girlfriend once before. Not to mention the list of women trying to seduce or stalk him.

Granted his relationships don't seem to last very long before they crash and burn as spectacularly as he does as was the case with Domino. But still, it's good to know a large number of characters in the Marvel universe can look past the face, not even a mother would love.

Strangely, Deadpool's love life is one of the most consistent things about the character, however, it's a little annoying at how each writer seems to try and one-up the other with who he ends up with during their run.

21 Lost Powers 𓂃 𒆙

What do you do, when your unbreakable body... breaks? Deadpool wound up aft꧋er some moral shinanigans finding a way to cure his cancer at the cost of removing his powers. There was a long arc where Wade Wilson hung up his mask and swords and actually tried to live like a normal person.

His face healed, his terminal illness was gone, ൲and his mind finally quieted so hඣe could live the life he wanted for a short time.

Eventually, though, he found himself tired of normalcy and pursued avenues to restore his powers. It appears as though his healing factor and cancer go hand in hand as after he found a way to bring them back so did his disease. With great power comes great sacrifice in Deadpool's case. We're glad he took back up his iconic mask and swords, the world sometimes needs an anti-hero like the Merc with a Mouth. Not to mention his unique humor has made his appearances in any series an absolute treat. It would have been a blow to the comic industry had he, like Wolverine, disappeared for an extended period of time.

His retirement and subsequent return has been one of the most emotional moments in꧙ his history.

20 Do♛es This Him And Wolverine Related?

Wolverine and Deadpool are extremely similar. Errr, in powers, not in personality or appearance. Although lacking the same adamantium skeleton Wolverine sports, Deadpool's healing factor was artificially created with Wolverines. There are some subtle differences, like how Wolverines activates unconsciously and tends to straight up regrow limbs as opposed to Deadpool reattaching them in mid-fight.

It's debatable who's is stronger, in the end, both have recovered from some pretty painful and bloody demise.

Although Logan will claim they have nothing in common, the fact is that they share the same DNA now and Wade knows and loves it. It's probably why he's always trying to hover around the X-men, he finds it a hilarious riot to bother and annoy his superpower brother.

It's gotten so bad for poor Wolverine, that the X-man has stated his greatest fear is outliving everyone else on the planet and then only having Deadpool for company. This would make a fairly interesting comic run actually, now that I think of it, both of them in an empty world trying to remove the other from it. Eventually one prevails and now the other is all alone with only their warped and twisted thoughts left with them.

19 🌺 ಞ Constantly Perishing

Deadpool's body hates him. He gets an amazing healing factor like Wolverine's in order to cure his cancer, and it only makes everything worse by fixing the problem in the worst way possible. Rather than outright curing and eliminating the illness it only means that he heals from the damage as quickly as it's caused. Since this causes his cells to go regenerate extremely fast, this means the cancer is sped up too.

Like an eight-year-old at Thanksgiving, it's running rampant and leaving a mess.

Summed up, Deadpool is constantly perishing and healing from his cancer at a rate that's impossible to truly understand. This causes a lot of negative side-effects and his horrifically disfigured face and body is only one of them. Well, we don't know how other diseases would interact with everything going on inside of Deadpool, it's a safe bet that there's at least one scientist itching for a look inside the Merc with a Mouth. If the CDC could get their hands on him, Deadpool might find himself a walking petri dish of apocalyptic viruses.

As a♑ side note, hiಞs regeneration make it significantly harder for other common sicknesses to take hold so he rarely catches colds.

18 ⭕ His Heart, Torn Out 🎐

The world's favorite anti-hero has had his fair share of bad injuries that he's had no right coming back from. His original nemesis, Ajax, kickstarted this train of close calls and awful scrapes by tearing out the newly empowered Wade Wilson's heart and leaving him to perish.

This was the first time his body ever managed to heal f🍸rom such a dire 🐠wound.

Wade's thirst for vengeance was so extreme that his healing factor jumpstarted, regrowing his heart in his body and allowing him to walk away from the mortal wound. This is arguably when Deadpool was born and when Wade Wilson perished. The loss of Wade's heart was symbolic of everything he had to leave behind, thinking he'd be able to come back to it once he'd been cured of his disease.

He never would. Once something's gone, it's gone for good. He will never get back what innocence he still managed to retain after his mercenary days. Deadpool knows this and that's why his only path is forwards, never stopping, never resting.

It's enough to drive someone insane. One day, maybe he'll recover from his trauma and managed to rebuild some of his life. He's tried before, perhaps next time he'll succeed.

17 He Can Save Lives 💫

Copycat is like a better Mystique. In that she can mimic someone down to a🧔 cellular level, allowing her to replicate their powers as well.

Originally, Copycat was Venessa Carlysle, Wade Wilsons girlfriend, she wound up manifesting mutant powers after he⛎ left her.

As the only logical course of action, she followed in his footsteps and became a mercenary.

After they were reunited and tried to reignite their relationship unsuccessfully, Copycat was mortally wounded during a hunt for advanced technologic𒁃al weapons which prompted Deadpool to share his powers with her. Permanently weakening his healing factor in order to fix her.

That's right, Deadpool can sacrifice some of his healing factor in order to save others. While one might argue that Copycat's case was special and her own mutant abilities contributed to this, it doesn't stop Deadpool from doing it again LATER to save others the same way. This feels like sloppy writing, Deadpool's whole character is that he sometimes outlives things that finish his allies. He shouldn't be able to have this occasional get out of jail free card that he only uses on certain people, it cheapens the whole experience. Also although they've said it makes his powers weaker, we haven't actually seen any evidence of that as of yet.

16 A Walking Scien🍃ce Experiment

While normally Deadpool paints the target on his own back through his actions and mouth, in some cases it's actually not his fault. His body is a literal walking science experiment of which study could bring about new cures and progress medical science by leaps and bounds.

He's not gonna sit still for it though.

His healing factor honestly attracts more attention from villains these days than Wolverine does, people taking him off the street to steal organs (he's fine they'll regrow) is only the tip of the iceberg. Several times people have nabbed him in order to use him as an unwilling research assistant. Thankfully, someone always tends to bail him out, but it's been a close call a few times. While his volunteering in a study would likely change the course of medical science for the better, Deadpool knows that it could also unleash a great evil if they tried to make another weapon like they did with him.

He endured horrors in the Weapon-X program that left him scarred in more ways than just his face. He won't let himself or anyone else go through that pain again. If only there was someone he trusted to share the secrets of his biology with.
