Take A Look Back At The Unique Rise Of Our Favorite Foul-Mouthed Antihero Deadpool


Bros, the Deadpool movie is almost here! February 12th, baby. Sooo close.

Of course we’re now very well-aware of that fact thanks to the proliferation of amazing promotional gimmicks and videos that Ryan Reynolds and company have been churning out lately.

And while some of us (ahem, geeks) already know a whole bunch about Wade Wilson and his crazyass backstory not everyone is as well-educated.

That’s why we put together this look back at how Deadpool really came to be (note: it was nothing like what happened in X-Men Origins: Wolverine – so bad).
