About this title
Synopsis
Wade Winston Wilson does not consider himself a hero despite sporting a superhero-like black-and-red costume and fighting under the name "Deadpool." Rather than following a strict moral code, Deadpool's actions are dictated by money. When billionaire Anthony "Tony" Stark offers the mercenary a job in Tokyo, Deadpool is fully primed to take down an evil organization headed by the God of Mischief, Loki, who aims to seize control over Japan. As Deadpool travels to his next zany escapade, he encounters Sakura Spider, a young girl with a familiar yet unimpressive backstory. She is by no means a fan of Deadpool and his unconventional methods, but in the face of a formidable enemy, her strong sense of responsibility and inability to fight alone outweigh any hesitation to join forces. With Sakura Spider on board, Deadpool caps off his team with Neiro Aratabi, a popular idol housing a symbiote in her body. Combining their powers, the trio must work together to save Japan—so Deadpool can safely collect his paycheck. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main characters
Wade Winston Wilson96 fan favoritesExternal profileNot too much is known about Deadpool's childhood. At some point of his life, Wade Wilson joined Project X. Little is known of Wilson's subsequent mercenary activities. At one point he was active in Tangier, Morocco where he romanced a woman named Francie. When this relationship soured, he traveled throughout Asia, and was hired in Japan by a crime lord, the Boss, to infiltrate a sumo-wrestling ring owned by a rival criminal, the Oyakata. Wilson spent three years as a wrestler under the Oyakata's tutelage and became romantically involved with his Mentor’s daughter, Sazae. When the Boss finally ordered the Oyakata's murder, Wilson refused to complete his assignment, allegedly the first time he had ever done so, and relocated to the United States. In America, Wade met and fell in love with mutant teenage prostitute Vanessa Carlysle, with whom he shared dreams of a better life. Wilson was subsequently hired by Middle Eastern interests to assassinate a blind British Government operative named Althea, also known as Blind Al. Upon arrival at the Zaire base where she was stationed, he killed everyone except for Al who had fled. Wilson’s employers sought vengeance for his failure by targeting Vanessa, who was rescued by Zoe Culloden, an employee of the inter-dimensional firm Landau, Luckman, Lake, and LeQuare. Culloden was keeping Wilson under surveillance, believing he was destined to play a vital part in a potential threat to the World. Learning that he had contracted cancer, Wilson broke up with his girlfriend Vanessa rather than force her to remain with a terminally ill man. He even gave up his chemo treatments, not wishing to prolong things. (Source: Marvel Database)
Haruka Hida4 fan favoritesExternal profileFiery and hot-blooded, Sakura Spider is strongly devoted to being an ideal hero and is easily angered by Deadpool's zany antics, hoping that she can get him to devote himself to being a serious hero like herself. She is indicated to have a crush on the popular idol singer Neiro Aratabi, who she is a huge fan of, and was horrified to learn she was the host of a symbiote.

Neiro Aratabi0 fan favoritesExternal profileMaintaining the image of a pure and innocent idol to appeal to her fans, Neiro Aratabi is actually obsessed with fame and goes to extreme lengths to maintain this veneer around others. However, she possesses a ruthless and cruel side, telling her symbiote Kage that she couldn't care less how many people it ate or who they were so long as none of them were her fans. Her subservience to her fandom is such that she frequently scolds Kage for using lethal force to protect her from deranged fans attempting to kill her, immediately dropped her guard around Loki Laufeyson when he lied that he was one of her fans, and told Deadpool she would forgive someone for wanting to rape her simply because he was her fan. Neiro also possesses a deep sense of melancholy regarding her mother, who was cruelly mocked and castigated for her unattractive appearance when Neiro was a child but told Neiro that she was nevertheless proud of her daughter.
