3. Deadpool

Deadpool is almost unkillable, has unequalled agility, and is one of the most skilled shooters and swordsmen to walk the Earth. He's served as an X-Man and an Avenger. He has single-handedly saved the world on a number of occasions. It's very possible the Merc' with the Mouth could be one of the greatest superheroes to ever live... if it wasn't for his personality.

His violent and unstable behaviour makes him a prime candidate for one of the last superheroes you'd want coming to your rescue. Because he suffers from delusions, Deadpool routinely misinterprets circumstances so he can't tell where he is, what he's meant to do, or who he's supposed to protect. As a result, he has a tendency to put civilians in more danger any time he shows up.

Because Deadpool is a mercenary at heart, the chimichanga-chompin' superhero will abandon his crusade to save civilians or protect his allies if he's offered enough money. He's also so unpredictable, he could turn on anyone on a whim. One time, he shot a scientist dead because he liked The Phantom Menace.
