Number Three: He Has Cancer. This character has many different origins, but there is once undeniable constant: that Deadpool had cancer. In order to cure his cancer, he volunteered for the Weapon X program that promised him Wolverine's regenerative healing powers. Although he received these powers, he got a lieu of mental problems and deformities in
