10 Worst Things That Ever Happened To Deadpool

From decapitations to heartbreaks, the Merc with a Mouth has endured ungodly suffering.

Part-time X-man, part-time parent, full-time Batman fan, the murderous mercenary from Canada - Deadpool - has become an all-time fan-favorite comic book "hero" and has lived through a lot, thanks to a healing factor that's on par with the shorter, angrier Canadian, Wolverine. And much like the three-clawed Avenger, Deadpool has suffered pains that are simply unimaginable anywhere besides the pages of a comic book.

While many will point out the ungodly amount of physical trauma inflicted on the self-aware comic character as the worst things to happen to him, the sheer amount of emotional and psychological trauma that has also been endured by Wade Wilson has only been slightly touched upon by the popular films, but in his comics, you can find plenty of examples.

The emotional and physical torment Deadpool has unfortunately lived trough has been for the most part completely ignored by his fellow mutants and team members, and even by himself from time to time. From the loss of everyone he's ever cared about to his failed attempts at suicide, the mutant formerly known as Wade Wilson has had to deal with quite a lot in his unnatural life.

The red and black mercenary has continually drifted from group to group across the Earth, even venturing into the darkest voids of space to find somewhere, anywhere he might belong. Despite wandering far and wide, Wade has never really had a chance to make a proper group of friends.

The few people he did consider to be his closest allies were also people he has continually abused in quite horrific ways, simply because he is insane. This cycle of abuse exploded into a massive battle between Wade and all of his ex-best-friends, ranging from Bob the Hydra agent and Blind Al to Taskmaster and Weasel, each with their own personal vendetta against the immortal immoral psychopath.

This battle ended with wade being shot to pieces by everyone who was left alive after the fight, but since he still couldn't die, everyone left Wade alone and unsatisfied, filled with the knowledge that there was now literally no one in the universe that liked him beside us, his fans, and he was truly alone with no way to end the pain.
