Deadpool (X-Force)

"Pretty clever, Wolvie. Did you have time to come up with that one the last time Magneto ripped your whole skeleton out? Or was it during one of your many, many, woe-is-me moments over... what is it you're crying about these days? Jean? Maple syrup prices?"

Pros and Cons

Pros

Deadpool's consistent and powerful Bleed effects allow him to quickly tear through heavily Armored enemies, such as Rhino, Hulkbuster, and Superior Iron Man.^[1]
The massive burst of Power that Deadpool receives when close to death allows him to turn the tables on an otherwise close fight, allowing him a chance to hit the opponent with a deadly attack at the last minute and potentially killing them.^[1]

Cons

This version of Deadpool lacks Regeneration, making him more fragile.^[1]
Deadpool is very reliant on Bleed effects and performs very poorly against opponents who do not Bleed, such as Colossus and Ultron.^[1]
The Bleed effect on Duodenum Poke falls off quickly, requiring you to keep poking the enemies throughout the fight to ensure maximum use of the ability.^[1]
Like his other counterpart, this Deadpool’s devastating Bleed effects can be risky when facing Abomination as he can simply Poison him while Bleeding, and Deadpool is not immune to Poison.

Recommended Masteries

Mutagenesis
- This version of Deadpool isn't as defensive and instead relies on offensive capabilities. As such, he can't rely on his Healing Factor to fight off damage over time effects like Bleed. Mutagenesis keeps him in the fight longer.^[1]
Greater Strength
- The majority of Deadpool's offensive capabilities come from his Bleed effects, either on Special Attacks or from his Duodenum Poke. Increasing his attack stat also increases the amount of damage dealt by his Bleed effects.^[1]
Glass Cannon, Recoil, Liquid Courage and Double Edge
- Deadpool is already an offensive force. Adding these Masteries increase his attack by massive amounts, and allow him to deal huge Bleed effects throughout the fight.^[1]
Courage
- When Deadpool drops low enough on his Health Bar to trigger his Power Gain, he will also trigger Courage, allowing him a massive Special Attack.^[1]
