Wade Wilson did not gain immortality from the weapon x program. He only gained fast healing ability. The reason he became immortal, is because Thanos got jealous of death falling in love with Deadpool, and was cursed after. It is because of Thanos, that wade is immortal.

@@bizzaroblake2519 let me go into a little further detail. T-Ray is an agent from Thanos, who found Wade Wilson's body after he died fighting members of the weapon x program. There T-Ray used an artifact given to him to bring back Wade, and made many copies of him. Wade in the end destroys it, and all of the copies, just not himself. There is a whole story arc behind whether Deadpool is the real Wade Wilson, or if T-Ray is the real Wade Wilson in the comic books.

@SalemElloit Жыл бұрын

@@bizzaroblake2519 you are correct. The only way now to kill Wade in story arc within the comics is by having Thanos take away his immortality, then by either using carbonadium or atomization to take away his healing ability.

I think Logan's backstory is the saddest one. The guy didn't even know he was a mutant, saw his father killed right in front of him, killed his real father, runaway from home, lived on his own and survived out in the harsh wild like a savage animal, had all of his memories stolen from him, became a living weapon, and he is still haunted by the horrible things that he has done in the past.

The fact that Punisher nor the Hulk not on the list is highly questionable. Don't forget that Bruce had a nanny that was cruel to him as well (Incredible Hulk 312), and was bullied by classmates in high school (Incredible Hulk 227). Bruce repressed his emotions because of what he endured in his life. Then Bruce created a weapon that at the time was the most powerful bomb. When Rick snuck onto the base, Bruce realized he was about to take an innocent life, and tried to save Rick. Sure enough a spy wanted to eliminate Banner; therefore, he didn't delay the countdown of the bomb. Rick was sparred by the gamma rays; however, Bruce took the full force becoming the Hulk. The Hulk and Bruce now constantly hounded by soldiers, and heroes. Often betraying him. Even the mutants are not as feared as Bruce and the Hulk.

You mentioned Jessica Jones but completely omitted Kilgrave, which is probably worse than anything on this list. You completely forgot Frank. And if you’re gonna do THAT part of Jessica Jones you might as well just put Daredevil too. I personally would have gone. 1. Wolverine 2. Jessica Jones 3. Rocket 4. Frank 5. Blade 6. Deadpool 7.
