Deadpool (Wade Wilson) is the antihero who has won the affection of comic book readers and cinematography audience. There is a horribly disturbed violent nature though underneath the jokes and the harsh sarcastic taunts. It is easy to forget that Wade Wilson is guilty of serious offenses that occurred both pre and post-his transformation to the Merc with a Mouth. The story of his turn to a more morally questionable character and a mercenary warrior poses the issues of his more sinister deeds and how they affect his own life as well as the rest of the Deadpool universe.
In this blog, we will look into the infamous criminal activities of Wade Wilson, we will examine the factors which led to him committing crimes and subsequent outcomes as well as how these activities have helped him to develop as a character. Wade has a tragic and complicated history of life as a mercenary and as Deadpool.
The Good Ole Days: Wade Wilson Being a Mercenary
Before becoming Deadpool, Wade Wilson used to live an average life, full of mistreatments in the past, as a mercenary. His prowess in battle, spying and existence qualified him an in-demand target on assignment. Nevertheless, those are the jobs that put him in compromised moral situations. Most of his early criminal activities were due to his involvement in secretive actions on behalf of the highest bidder without much thought over the lives that were impacted by his activities.
The criminal acts of Wade Wilson involved assassination and theft as well as sabotage. He took up services that made him play right to the limit of his own humanness and usually did missions that involved the collateral damages. He was inclined towards violence and a sense of ethical restraint was nowhere to be found and that kind of combination lent him to cause mayhem in the life of crime and lies.
Even though Wade Wilson was a criminal, he was not always driven by evil per se. Instead, they were as a result of his multi-faceted personality, a combination of self-hatred, aggression and an inherent need to redeem himself in the world that he has been left in. He was so obsessed with the need to be the best at whatever he engaged in that the repercussions of his deeds were mostly forgotten leading to ruin.
A transformation: Wade Wilson becomes Deadpool
Wade Wilson had a drastic turn when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Having been presented with the impending death, he would have a chance of survival with the help of a covert government project called Weapon X. The experiment gave him faster healing abilities that made him immortal thereby also disfigured. The mutation to Deadpool was a blessing and a curse as it not only spared his life but it also created physical as well as mental scars.
The powers Deadpool got could, on the one hand, allow him to heal any injury but, on the other hand, ignited his violent nature. And his initial significant crime as a transformed person was the necessity to take revenge on the individuals who introduced him to the Weapon X program. Wade Wilson went out of control, tracked down the people behind it and killed them mercilessly. This is the point when he starts his more notorious activities as Deadpool who turns into a vigilante and an outlaw.
Deadpool has killed and committed many crimes that were in the name of justice, but his approach was irresponsible and even brutal. His vigilantes acts resulted in a number of clashes between him and the police, other superheroes, and criminal groups. The wild card of Deadpool and his susceptibility to almost nothing made him a very dangerous entity in the criminal world.
The Worst Crimes of Wade Wilson
Hit Man:
Being a mercenary, the most heinous act that Wade Wilson committed was the fact that he has killed how many people he is paid to kill. His job as a mercenary was characterized by the capacity to accomplish hazardous missions and this manifested itself by exterminating anyone who presented a danger to his customers. His victim list included many powerful persons, influential politicians who were corrupt as well as masterminds of criminal activities but his brutal approaches frequently put innocent people in a cross fire.
Revenge Killings:
Revenge was one of the main purposes of Wade committing his criminal activities after he had changed into Deadpool. He was determined to find the betrayers or experimentation subjects, those who took part in Weapon X especially the scientists and officials. This act of revenge degenerated into a row of mass massacres with Wade causing havoc in the path of his destruction.
Illegal Connections to the underworld:
As time went on, the nature of crimes committed by Deadpool extended over revenge and assassinations. His unruly life caused him to be associated with different underworld elements where he was involved in illegal businesses, arms trade, and moreover being an enforcer to different criminal syndicates. Although he did not fulfill well with these groups at most times, he required money and failure to conform to the expected morality left him in a mess with them.
Harmful Collateral Damage:
The carelessness and improptu attitude shown by Deadpool led to the occurrence of collateral damages on a couple of occasions. His activities resulted in far-reaching results that were sometimes undesirable like burning property, killing civilians as well as panic. The fact that he could not control his violence, as well as this being the nature of his self, made him someone whose power had to be reckoned with by the underworld and the superhero community alike, whereas he also happened to be a liability to these two groups.
Psychological Struggles and crime by Psychologically Wade Wilson
The crimes committed by Wade Wilson cannot be considered without regarding the psychological pressures to which the man has been subjected. The fact that Wade has a traumatic past had a noticeable impact on his view of the world since he spent his childhood in an abusive family and served in the military afterward. The diagnosis of terminal cancer and his subsequent transformation Deadpool only made him worsen in mental health.
Noting that Wade Wilson has a mental problem, Dr. Michael Jones, an expert in psychiatric disorders, explained, “The psychology of Wade Wilson is characterized by the act of recklessness and a kind of indifference to other people. This mental condition together with his inciting traumatic experience in the past and the physical changes that he has experienced have led to his state of the twister mentally and eventually criminal behavior.”
The crimes committed by Wade commonly translate as his inner struggle between his self and worth. His sadist behavior is a catharsis, a therapeutic means to him as he tries to deal with the disfigurement and emotional distress he was undergoing. He tries to cover his suffering with jokes and absurdity, but the fact lies deeper as he is ruled by the influence of the trauma.
How the Wade Wilson Robberies Affect Universe Should Deadpool Die
Wade Wilson has committed his crimes which are not only defining his character but still very decisive in the Deadpool universe as a whole. These deeds tend to bring him in direct confrontation with other characters, whether super heroes or super villains, who see him as a destructor of the order within the society. The reasons for the character Deadpool associating with such characters as X-Force, his chaotic past association with the X-Men and his historical relations with such characters as Ajax and Vanessa can all be traced to his criminal background.
It is a complicated relationship since Deadpool is an antihero. He can fight to the greater good but he is very unpredictable as an ally or an enemy due to his methods and ignoring life. There is a ripple effect of his own crimes, the personal and the professional which affect how other characters perceive him. Such contradiction (a hero and a villain) gives depth to the Deadpool character and makes the character and plot intricate.
Wade Wilson is a character with an elaborate history of crime.
Criminal activities of Wade Wilson are part and parcel of his identity with Deadpool. At the beginning of his career as a mercenary and his spree following his disfigurement and becoming an antihero, all his activities defined his path as the man and even his surroundings. Although his murders can be considered meaningless or even fury-motivated, they are closely connected to his trauma and psychological distress.
With the further development of the Deadpool world, one should remember that the Deadpool is a criminal, however, he is a deviation of the environment and experience. He is a criminal in an effort to escape his pain and in a bid to see justice restored albeit in a disorderly and violent manner.
