As a test subject in the same Weapon X program that had previously given Wolverine his adamantium claws and skeleton, Wade Wilson received a healing factor that prevented his cancer from killing him.Marvel Source
Wade soon escaped the program and became a freelance mercenary using the name Deadpool, working for various criminal organizations. At times he has teamed up with heroes as well, but these attempts at "being a good guy" rarely stick for long.
Wade is mentally unstable, though whether this is a normal state or is caused by his constant state of hyper-regeneration is unknown. One side effect of his mental state is the belief that he is not a real person but actually a character in a comic book.

Deadpool 2.1 Build
I went with an AOE build on DP, a bit different than any other builds for him that I've seen. I tried full Ranged with "Shoot All Bullets and tried Meleepool too, but just couldn't get into him with those builds. I'm liking what I have so I figured I'd share.
Powers to max:
Foot Gougers - Nice self centered AOE DOT that also slows attack and move speed of targets.
More Bullets - Critical Rating and Critical Damage Rating passive, with spirit regen.
Bang Boom - Target centered AOE damage attack, might seem like it doesn't hit very hard, but when you combine this with Foot Gougers and toss out a couple Itty Bitty Booms, things fall fast. Everything....
Superior Healing Factor - Health regen per second and per kill, more healing when activated. If you're below 30% max health it heals for even more. Excellent passive.
Itty Bitty Boom - Hard Hitting AOE grenade with stun. I personally like this better than "Stink Bomb".
God Mode - Defense Rating Boost with an automatic effect that makes you invulnerable when near death. Saves you when you get overwhelmed or mistakenly get hit by Rhino or Jugg. Excellent skill to have.
One-Point Wonders:
Awesome Lunge of Death - Damage Rating and Move speed buff when activated, does decent damage itself. I use this to get around a bit faster too.
Li'l Deadpool - Nice Utility skill that taunts all targets in the area and explodes after a short time. A lifesaver if used right.
Bodyslide by One - Teleport, just another movement skill to help you get around a bit faster, stops you from having to walk around things.
Hotbar Setup:
First, I need to say that I don't use the LMB for ANYTHING. Whether it's because of my current mouse, or my oldschool playstyle, I just find it awkward to use. So here is my key setup. But hopefully this gives you a better over-all view of how I use the build.
LMB - BLANK
A - Awesome Lunge of Death
S - Li'l Deadpool
D - Itty Bitty Boom
Q - Foot Gougers
E - Server Lag
Z - Superior Healing Factor
RMB 1 - Bang Boom
RMB 2 - Bodyslide by One
I changed my function keys from F1-F6 to 1-6, so that I could reach them easier. Since you can have up to 6 skills bound into the RMB slot.
Costume:
The Core is in the build, but I rolled a mixture of Attack Speed and Damage Rating for his Affixes.
Gear:
Just remember as you're gearing up to focus on items that give you health, crit or benefit your skills and you'll do fine. Uniques are always nice.
Synergies:
Cable
Colossus
Deadpool
Gambit
Hulk
Iron Man
Loki
Punisher
Spiderman
Storm
These are the Synergies I currently use / have. Might change as I get more of them that benefit this Hero.
This build has excellent survivability and damage. Of course, this is just my opinion and view on this hero. I welcome any feedback or suggestions and hope that this build helps others who are looking at playing this hero.
