What Happened to Deadpool?

Deadpool, also known as Wade Wilson, became disfigured after being diagnosed with terminal cancer and undergoing extreme experiments. A mysterious recruiter promised to cure his cancer and give him super abilities.

Wade was subjected to severe torture by Ajax, which involved injecting him with a serum to awaken dormant mutant genes. This torture, meant to trigger his mutation, enhanced his cancer cells, leading to his permanent facial disfigurement.

The experiments gave Wade super healing powers, transforming him into the wisecracking, nearly indestructible Deadpool, wearing a red and black suit and using swords and guns.(The Direct)

What Happened To Deadpool’s Face?

Deadpool's face became severely disfigured as a result of the experimental treatment he underwent to cure his cancer. This treatment, administered by the villain Ajax, was meant to activate latent mutant genes through extreme stress and torture.

While it did grant Deadpool accelerated healing abilities, which cured his cancer, it also left him with extensive scars and burns all over his body. This drastic change in appearance is a significant part of his character, influencing both his outlook on life and his interactions with others​.

This portrayal was widely criticized by fans. However, in the "Deadpool" movies, there are numerous references and jokes about Wolverine and Hugh Jackman, who famously played the character. The banter between Deadpool and Wolverine is a fan favorite because of their contrasting personalities—Wolverine's stoic, serious nature and Deadpool's chaotic, humorous demeanor.
