10 Most Heartbreaking Deadpool Moments

9. Being Betrayed By The Mercs For Money

The point of making a Superhero team is, on its most basic level, so you can all have each other's backs. That's why it's so sad that Deadpool's attempt at creating one ends with them completely turning on him - although this is slightly less tragic when you remember it's mainly because the Merc' had been siphoning funds out of his member's earnings.

That said, all of them were doing better for themselves within the team - they earn more money than they would have solo for starters, and them helping Foolkiller get his diploma is a surreal but solid show of the fact that they do take care of each other. This is why the decision to take down their eccentric but well-meaning leader is kind of a shock to the system, because although Deadpool is by no means a saint, he had actually helped the team by bringing them together.

In short, although Deadpool does screw the Mercs out of money, it's a misdeed that should have gotten him kicked off a Christmas card list, instead of eviscerated.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
