8. Deadpool

Because of Deadpool's inappropriate behaviour and his disregard for... pretty much everything, it's so easy to paint the Merc' with the Mouth as an incompetent screw-up. And nothing could be further from the truth.

The procedure that turned Wade Wilson into Deadpool amplified his fighting skills, agility, and healing abilities to such a degree, he can hold his own against anyone. Hulk. Punisher. A gladiator centaur symbiote cyborg werewolf called Marcus. The Rob Lowe-loving vigilante has fought them all.

Another thing that people don't realise about Deadpool is he is the most agile person in the world. Not Nightcrawler. Not Spider-Man. This guy. Because of this, he can outmanoeuvre virtually anyone and can slash through an army of goons without getting hit once. Even if he did get hit (or shot or decapitated), his healing factor is so advanced, he can recover from any wound.

Deadpool may be a goofball but the self-proclaimed "Canadian James Bond" also happens to be an unkillable goofball who could figure out 50 different ways to kill you before you said "chimichanga".
