Hello everyone, I recently caught up with some Deadpool comics I had left behind the past years, and in the meanwhile I decided to improve his profile as well along the way.
I of course could not cover all of his 1000 appearances, but I believe I've got over the most recent and most important ones, specifically his own main volumes and such. I will cover more ground in the future, but so far that's what I've got.
I will also propose some general improvements to sections which are currently poorly described, such as stamina and intelligence.
As with other CRTs, all the references are within my sandbox, which you can check here, but won't be featured in this thread because of formatting issues.
Here's Deadpool current profile for comparison.
Powers&Abilities
First, I would like to apply the bullet list format, given how long some descriptions are, it would look much better.
Additions to already-featured abilities. All the current ones will either be added or moved, as better described here below:
Addition of new abiliies:
Equipment
I will just reword it in a more concise way based on Deadpool's usual depiction. The teleportation and holographic devices should also go straight into optional, especially the former, which hasn't been part of his standard arsenal since 15 years or such. The chitauri hand cannon will remain under optional as well.
Standard: A pair of katanas, a pair of pistols, combat knives, pouches containing various equipment, explosives, anything he can pull out of his hammerspace.
Optional: Innumerable types of weapons, Grappling Hook Gun
Stamina
Wholly new description
The combination of Deapool's healing factor, self-destructive tendencies and reckless nature has basically made him unhealthily accustomed to even the most excruciating pain. After years and years of suffering, Deadpool has gotten used to stabbing, slashing, gunshots, broken bones, maiming and much more, all the way to complete dismembering, confident that his regeneration shall inevitably take care of it all. Deadpool oftenly welcomes wounds and disregards danger out of sheer boredom, confidence, stupidity and will to taunt the opponent, but he often utilizes such perk for unconventional strategy. Deadpool can take inhuman punishment before passing out and can generally remain conscious even when he should logically incapacitated, going as far as remaining awake when reduced to only his disembodied head. The quickness of his healing factor, and his tenacity which compensate for the eventuality of its absence, allow Deadpool to spring back to action after brief periods of time or simply push through damage and keep fighting even in the most unlikely situations.
Intelligence
I have just removed his multilingualism because of the lack of referene and it being rather specific. Breaking the fourth wall also isn't an intelligence feat. The last scan (capable strategist) will just be integrated in the new description. Lastly, his rating should go up to Gifted. Everything said here belongs to common knowledge of the character, for which one doesn't have to do more than going on the Marvel Wiki to have confirmation.
Deadpool is very seasoned mercenary, with a career spanning across many years. Over the course of his life has has performed (oftenly even accomplished) many different assignments, including assassination, espionage, theft, rescuing and son on, a list too long for the count. He has been a prominent member of several high-profile teams, most notably X-Force and some iterations of the Avengers, as well as a number of mercenary agencies, some even led by him. Deadpool is widely (and infamously) renowned within the community of metahumans, amongst both heroes and villains, due to having been a recurrent ally, foe or close acquaintance of nearly everyone. The many adventures he has partaken have led him to every corner of the world and oftentimes even across the universe, other dimensions and different time periods. Few are the beings with whom Deadpool has not contended, for he has fought (and killed) all sorts of superpowered individuals, assassins, monsters, aliens and weird creatures in general.
Deadpool's antics are misleading of his actual worth and everyone who mistakes him for a fraud eventually pays the price. Despite often spiraling into incompetence out of pure carelessness, Deadpool's true competence as a warrior and strategist emerge the very moment he decides to act seriously. Thanks to his skill, Deadpool has lived through the most absurd situations, facing death countless times and living to tell the tale.
Weaknesses
New weakness, with a reference freshly baked this last month.
Relies too much on his healing factor and this compromises his fighting style and efficiency when deprived of his main superpower.
AP and Speed Feats:
Nice support material to be added to his profile. The AP feat could use a calc, but I'm unable of doing it rn.

Here's Deadpool current profile for comparison.
Powers&Abilities
First, I would like to apply the bullet list format, given how long some descriptions are, it would look much better.
Additions to already-featured abilities. All the current ones will either be added or moved, as better described here below:
- Weapon Mastery: (Deadpool's main method of combat is a combination of swordsmanship and sharpshooting, mainly through the dual wielding of katanas and handguns, as well as a generous usage of explosives. Overtime Deadpool has skillfully utilized any weapon conceivable, from all epochs and places, being also definitely stranger to alien, futuristic and generally bizarre weaponry)
- The feats currently featured in the profile are all related more to Superhuman Precision, which has been added recently to the wiki. I have more feats related to that here below, but my proposal is to give a general description for Weapon Mastery, keep the Multitasking feat in there, and move the rest to Superhuman Precision.
- Martial Arts: Deadpool is a master of unarmed combat and is just as skilled in it as he is with weapons, for he always combines the two arts in battle with great finesse. Performed a flying head slam while standing on a running bus. Subdued Death Grip with a surprise assault.
- Once again, a general description helps a first understanding. All the currently featured feats will stay, aside from " Fought and killed numerous high profile assassins at the same time", which should be moved to Weapon Mastery, as said killings are carried out through the use of weapons.
- Acrobatics: Can jump from extremely high altitudes and land with skill and nonchalance. His fighting style integrates a lot of leaping maneuvers and attacks. Can deliver precise shots even when cartwheeling through the air.
- Fourth wall Breaking: Deadpool's signature trait is the awareness of living inside a comic book and it characterizes a large amount of his antics. Such perception encompasses many forms, such as references to meta-narative elements or to pop culture from the real world, among many other possible examples, for it is nearly omnipresent in his stories. Under normal circumstances, Deadpool is always aware of the fourth wall and its various elements)
- Regeneration: Deadpool's most prominent power is his notorious healing factor, implanted onto him by Weapon X and meant to replicate Wolverine's. Although inconsistent in its speed and lacking of a precise explanation for it, such trait is well-established in its ability to make Deadpool nearly unkillable and incredibly resilient. His bones heal from fractures in mere moments. Can regenerate body parts such his whole skeleton and his legs in a short time. Can reattach his limbs almost instantaneously. Regrew his entire body from his head alone in less than a week.
- Its tier should be just Mid-High, given how inconsistent the recovery time is. Adding a timeframe next to the noteworthy feats is just more accurate. Regenerating from incineration would be put at the end of the description.
- Social Influencing: Pacifically resolved a conflict with an army of trolls. Proved himself too annoying even for Mephisto himself, who eventually surrendered and cancelled the contract which bound him to Hell; He later did the same to Nightmare, who agreed to help him out upon having had enough of his antics. Often pretends to fall for mind control in order to lull the opponent into a false sense of security.
- Hammerspace: Pulled out an oversized gun from literally nowhere.
- Fire Manipulation (equipment): Has access to flamethrowers.
- Smoke Manipulation (equipment): Further usage of Smoke pellets.
- Resistance to Mind Manipulation: Unaffected by hypnotic attacks such as Will O' the Wisp's lights and Last Bite's gaze.
- I also propose to split the various feats of resistance to Mind Control, Telepathy and Madness currently featured in the profile, to avoid a huge and clunky wall of text.
Addition of new abiliies:
- Superhuman Precision: Has consistently been able to strike even difficult targets with great accuracy without having to look at them. Threw his sword right into the barrel of a shotgun. Landed multiple, precise and quick shots on an elf who was holding a hostage.
- Also see everything I've said about Weapon Mastery in the previous section.
- Limited Supernatural Luck: The only time Deadpool was actually willing to let himself be murdered by a killer who could take him down for good, a series of impossibly convenient coincidences occurred one after another and allowed his survival.
- Minor Sound Manipulation: His disembodied head can keep talking despite being called out for its lack of vocal cords
- Limited Dimensional Travel and Limited Creation: Entered Gwenpool's Gutter Space on his own and made a physical flowchart for her.
- Resistance to:
- Electricity: Has been struck by lightning at least 27 times in 42 seconds and was seemingly unharmed. Suffered only superficial burns from an electric blast powerful enough to annihilate common humans. Withstood Storm's lightning bolt.
- Sleep Manipulation: Shrugged off two darts carrying medical-grade tranquilizers, which knocked out his fellow monsters and might have killed a human such as Chet.
- Power Mimicry: Deadpool's healing factor was specifically engineered for his own cancer-ridden body and calibrated to replace the cells which were gradually killed off. When installet within a healthy body, this healing factor would cause an unstoppable production of excessive cells which leads the host to physical deformation and ultimate death.
- Corruption and Possession: Withstood the infected Bloodstone, which was killing Elsa Bloodstone, and engaged in a long fight while suffering from its effects, one of which being the transferal of the Bone Beasts queen's essence into him.
- Paralysys Inducement: His fast metabolism allowed him to fully recover in about 22h hours from a paralytic venom which was supposed to keep him completely paralyzed for a much longer time.
- Some of Gwenpool's Powers: Gwenpool's meta-narrative ability that always guarantees her victory ceased to work on Deadpool the moment he realized he was being subjected to a plot device, thus allowing him to break free from its influence and turn the tides of their battle.
- This is so oddly specific and convoluted, that I couldn't reliably cram it within one single ability, so I will just link to Gwenpool's profile, which is been revised by yours truly.

- Dodged gunshots at close range
