Wade Wilson: hero?. Deadpool finds his voice in a character-defining and hilarious run. The mysterious corporation Landau, Luckman & Lake believes Deadpool is their Chosen One - but does the Merc with a Mouth have it in him to be a hero. Wade's old pal Weasel and housemate-slash-prisoner Blind Al have their doubts, and fellow merc T-Ray is out to see Wade fail at all costs. Maybe the unstable Typhoid Mary can help him refocus. Plus: When Deadpool's healing factor goes on the fritz, can he and X-Force's Siryn deal with the devil who helped create him and peer into the past of the man called Wade Wilson. Guest-starring Wolverine, Daredevil, Taskmaster and the Hulk.
