The character Deadpool first appeared in Marvel's The New Mutants #98 in the year 1991. His recent popularity is attributed to the 2016 feature film Deadpool.
Originally a super villain, he later became an antihero - a heroic character who is morally ambiguous and lacks the typical hero qualities, such as courage or an ideal cause.
Deadpool's super power is that he can regenerate his cells quickly in order to recover from injury. This power also affects his thoughts and makes him unpredictable.
