History Characters / Deadpool2016

* When She Smiles: When Deadpool's antics actually make her laugh.

* RippleEffectProofMemory: As there is NoFourthWall for Deadpool, Wade is still well aware of everything that happened in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', despite that entire timeline having been wiped out in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.

* CelebrityParadox: Creator/RyanReynolds exists in this universe, as he appears on a magazine and Wade Wilson mentions him. Given the [[NoFourthWall nature of the film and the character]], this is to be expected.

* BadGuyBar: By the name of Sister Margaret's Home For Wayward Girls, which he owns and acts as the bartender. He's a very friendly guy who knows how to keep the clientèle's secrets, and as such the entire bar has his back. And considering it's a bar frequented by thugs, mercs, and other such characters, that's a very good thing to have. [[spoiler:At one point, all of the patrons in the bar [[EvenEvilHasStandards immediately draw their guns on Ajax and Angel Dust when they threaten Weasel]].]]

* BadassLongcoat: Her comment over the X-Men wearing spandex as a benefit may have something to do with it.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: He saves the villain, is kind to everyone, delivers several "YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre" speeches, cannot stand swearing, and an exposed breast has him instantly covering his eyes.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: Ajax doesn't flinch at the prospect of Deadpool killing him.

* PetTheDog: His friendliness towards Angel Dust may be a subversion, as he claims he [[TheSociopath can't feel anything for anyone]], and is only friendly towards because of her temper, and superior strength.
* TheSociopath: He observes he can't feel in anything both in the sense of not feeling any pain and in the sense of feeling no emotional response. Deadpool even calls him a psychopath.

* AsideGlance: Wouldn't be Wade Wilson without it!

* BringMyRedJacket: Wade's first Deadpool costume is a white hoodie with a headscarf and goggles to conceal his face, but after it gets drenched in blood, he finds that he likes the red on him and incorporates the colour into his later outfits. Or at the least, he accepts the advice Blind Al gives him at the laundromat, as he is futilely trying to scrub the hoodie back to white.

* TheCorrupter: Deadpool encourages taxi driver Dopinder to "hold on to love... tight... and never let go." This drives Dopinder to kidnap his romantic rival, at which point he plans to kill him and leave his body on his crush's doorstep. While Wade didn't exactly say to do all that, he tells Dopinder he's proud of what he's done.

* HitmanWithAHeart: Despite being an accomplished killer who has undoubtedly taken higher-paying jobs, he does take on a job to scare away a young girl's stalker. He doesn't even hurt the guy as nothing has happened yet, so he just roughs him up a bit. Despite the girl saying he's her hero, he insists he's not. Doesn't stop him from telling Weasel to give her back most of the money she paid for said roughing-up.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Even before becoming Deadpool, Wade was not exactly the nicest (or sanest) guy around, willing to beat up and threaten people for money. However, he does have a soft spot for teenage girls, particularly ones with stalker problems, and he's more than happy to solve those problems for them. Even as Deadpool, despite being an all-out psychopath, he only ever dishes out punishment to people who actually deserve it and treats those who he considers friends very nicely (though his definition of "nicely" differs greatly from a normal person's).

* LargeHam

* MrFanservice: Pre-disfigurement.

** Ajax: [[Music/TheSpiceGirls Posh Spice]], though he subverts this later on [[spoiler:upon learning that his real name is Francis.]]

* RedIsHeroic: With black to add variety.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, her bombastic codename and her powers, which are pretty lame in comparison, basically makes her the butt of a bad joke. In the ''Deadpool'' movie, she is capable of generating controlled, small-scale nuclear explosions of great power, from strong enough to blast away a truck a couple dozen yards with great force, to powerful enough to knock over the remains of an aircraft carrier in a scrapyard.

->'''Played By''': Creator/MorenaBaccarin

* BadassNormal: Vanessa has absolutely no powers but can still do some very impressive things. [[spoiler: Like escaping the pod Ajax puts her into and impaling Ajax with Wade's sword]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: Vanessa and Wade instantly get along due sharing the dark sense of humor, the sharp wit, the talkative nature, the problems against authority, etc. At one point even Ajax remarks she and Wade have a lot in common.

* DamselOutOfDistress: Despite being kidnapped and used for bait for Wade, during the final battle [[spoiler: she escapes confinement and runs Ajax through with one of Wade's swords.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Parodied. When Wade asks if she had a rough childhood, Vanessa and Wade have a little piss-taking contest of who has the most tragic (and the most insanely over-the-top) fictional DarkAndTroubledPast, trying to one-up one another at it.

* GroinAttack: Does a testicular claw to "Fat Gandalf" the old mercenary that tried to put the moves on her.

->'''Played By''': T.J. Miller

* BadGuyBar: By the name of Sister Margaret's Home For Wayward Girls, which he owns and acts as the bartender. He's a very friendly guy who knows how to keep the clientèle's secrets, and as such the entire bar has his back. And considering it's a bar frequented by thugs, mercs, and other such characters, that's a very good thing to have. [[spoiler:At one point, all of the patrons in the bar [[EvenEvilHasStandards immediately draw their guns on Ajax and Angel Dust when they threaten Weasel]]]].

* BrutalHonesty: He has no problem telling Wade how disturbing his scarred appearance is, including "Oh, ''no...'' You look like the insides of other people's assholes.", "Motherfucker, you are hard to look at.", "You look like [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] face-fucked a topographical map of Utah.", and "You look like an avocado had sex with an older avocado."
* CowardlySidekick: He provides Deadpool with everything he needs ''except'' help with in a fight as he's a bit of a coward.
-->'''Weasel''': Wade, I'd go with you, but I don't want to.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Insults between him and Wade are like punctuation. He also bet $200 against him in the bar's Dead Pool and is somewhat disappointed when his new superpowers guarantee that he'll never get his money back.

->'''Played By''': Leslie Uggams

* BrutalHonesty: To Wade.

* DeadpanSnarker: When you are living with Deadpool, it is better to be one. Thanksfully, Blind Al is quite the snarky character.
* DisabilitySuperpower: One of the side effects of Blind Al's blindness is that she has better hearing than average and can hear what is going on in the entire building. Unfortunately for her, that also means that [[{{Squick}} she can hear Deadpool masturbate.]]

* SeriousBusiness: Ikea furniture. She and Wade have different preferences though he insists that, because he is her tenant, his choices should take priority.

->'''Played By''': Karan Suni

An unfortunate taxi driver who Deadpool takes a liking to. Has romantic problems since the girl he likes is in love with his much handsomer cousin.

* FunnyForeigner: A mild example. It's mentioned the woman who he was arranged to be married to has fallen in love with his cousin.

* RunningGag: Deadpool doesn't wear a wallet while suited up, so Dopinder is forced to make do with a high five. He seems okay with it.

->'''Played By''': Brianna Hildebrand

* ActionGirl: She winds up being the one [[spoiler:to deliver the defeating blow to Angel.]]
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, her bombastic codename and her powers, which are pretty lame in comparison, basically makes her the butt of a bad joke. In the Deadpool movie, she is capable of generating controlled, small-scale nuclear explosions of great power, she make them strong enough to blast away a truck a couple dozen yards with great force to powerful enough to knock over a huge battleship standing in port on a dry-dock.

* BadassLongcoat: Her comment over the X-men wearing spandex as a benefit may have something to do with it.
* BoyishShortHair: She sports a buzz cut as a visual cue to the audience that her character is not a girly girl. Lampshaded by Deadpool, who makes a Music/SineadOConnor joke about it.
** There's also a pretty obvious practical reason for this: Given that anything that isn't immediately attached to her skin gets vaporized when she uses her powers, a buzz cut might be the only way she can have hair at all without it constantly catching fire.
* ClothingDamage: Using her powers actually burns up her clothes. Fortunately, she usually wears her X-men uniform underneath, which is resistant to her powers.

* DeadpanSnarker: An interesting example as a lot of her snark is [[SilentSnarker expressive instead of verbal]], but is capable of snarking verbally when she wants.

-->'''Warhead:''' ''[to Colossus]'' Can we go?
-->'''Deadpool:''' ''[mocking]'' Look! I'm a teenage girl! I'd rather be anywhere than here! I'm all about long, sullen silences, followed by mean comments, followed by more silences. So what's it gonna be? Long, sullen silence or mean comment?

* HavingABlast: Her powers make her a human bomb. She doesn't fly so much as explodes herself upwards or forwards. She can also generate a stationary blast, she does one in front a pile of metal scrap and it's sent flying into a pair of mercenaries, crushing them to death.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Destroys a large part of the scrapyard with her last attack, capsizing the grounded helicarrier and sends Angel Dust bouncing around like a pinball.

->'''Played By''': Stefan Kapičić (voice), Andre Tricoteux (motion-capture), Greg [=LeSalle=] (facial motion-capture)

* BallsOfSteel: Quite literally. Deadpool tries to do a GroinAttack to him and fails horribly. [[spoiler:Angel Dust]] is MUCH more successful in her attempt.
-->'''Deadpool''': [[LampshadeHanging Your poor wife]]!

-->'''Colossus''': This is embarrassing.
* DistractedByTheSexy: [[spoiler:Angel Dust takes advantage of him pointing out to her exposed left boob during their fight]].
* {{Foil}}: To Deadpool. Chaste-mouthed, paragon-like gentle giant boy scout X-man contrasted to Deadpool's foul-mouthed sardonic violent psychotic freelancer.

* GentleGiant: He's a towering mountain of organic steel skin, but is a kind and compassionate man who prefers NOT to resort to violence when he can help it. [[BewareTheNiceOnes But watch your ass if he has to do so]].
* HonorBeforeReason: It does not occur him that graciously stopping to give Angel Dust time to fix her WardrobeMalfunction leaves him wide-open for a counter-attack. He also got decked for trying to avoid hurting her and simply handcuffing Angel Dust.

* HypocriticalHumor: Combined with the fact he doesn't power down in the film, [[spoiler:this makes his "Hero" speech funnier]].
-->'''Colossus''': People think being hero [[spoiler: is full time job. Wake up a hero. Brush your teeth a hero. Not true]].

* StressVomit: [[spoiler:Once Deadpool shoots Ajax]]. Apparently with the face actor as well, as fake-vomiting is [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/deadpools-colossus-facial-actor-reveals-dangers-puking not easy]].
* SuddenlyVoiced: He is TheQuietOne to the near [[TheVoiceless voiceless]] in previous ''X-Men'' movies. Here, he talks quite a lot.

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: To Deadpool, who he wants to make an X-Man.

! Villains

->'''Played By''': Ed Skrein

-->He got his name from a dish soap!

* BossInMookClothing: During the highway fight, Ajax is disguised as one of the convoy's bikers that makes Wade ignore him as just another mook though it was already hinted by being more competent at dodging Wade's attacks than the other mooks.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: His lack of pain sensor and enhanced reflexes also allowed him to be strong enough to NeckLift and take punishment he shouldn't be able to shrug off just because he feels no pain.

* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:When he's finally under Deadpool's mercy, he [[DidYouActuallyBelieve taunts him]] with the fact that his scars are uncurable, despite knowing that the prospect of a cure is the ''only'' reason Deadpool's even considering keeping him alive.]]

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Ajax walks in Wade's room, tells him he ''could'' speak in euphemisms ("This may hurt", "take a deep breath", e.t.c), but since he's completely insentive (both [[TheSociopath emotionally]] and [[FeelNoPain physically]]) he doesn't really give a crap, so he'll just say what he'll actually do: Torture him mercilessly until his healing factor works. Then he proceeds to do exactly that.

* EvilIsPetty: He makes a point of being ''specially'' cruel to Wade for no adequate reason other than the fact Pool keeps making jokes ([[BerserkButton and calling him Francis]]).

---> '''Cartoon!Deadpool''': He's the hottest!

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When Angel throat lifts Weasel and every man in his BadGuyBar draws their guns, he logically tells her to back down.

* LightningBruiser: Has enhanced reflexes which lets him dominate Wade and he's strong enough to easily bend a steel rebar. He's also MadeOfIron and can FeelNoPain so even slowing him down if you do manage to hit him is pretty unlikely.

->'''Played By''': Creator/GinaCarano

* AdaptationalCurves: Angel Dust is [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/7/7b/Angel_Dust_(Earth-616)_from_Morlocks_Vol_1_1.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20130805013835 flat-chested]] and overall rather plain, compared to Gina Carano's [[http://www.lapsitting.org/images/ginacarano/3.jpg proportions]]

* DarkActionGirl: When she throws down, she summarily bashes ''Colossus'' across the room, [[spoiler:and she was winning when Negasonic Teenage Warhead stepped in]].
* DefeatByModesty: Inverted. [[spoiler:Her left breast gets exposed during her fight with Colossus, who is kind enough to pause the battle and let her readjust her top. And then she uses the opportunity to sucker punch him.]]

* IronicName: Despite her first name being "Angel" she is definitely ''not'' one.

* WardrobeMalfunction: Her top slides off a bit during [[spoiler:her fight with Colossus, who points it out and gives her a moment to readjust. She takes the opportunity to thank him and then punches him in the groin.]]

->'''Played By''': Jed Rees

* ColdBloodedTorture: What [[spoiler:Deadpool does to him during his RoaringRampageOfRevenge.]]

* InSeriesNickname: Wade refers to him as "[[Franchise/TheMatrix Agent Smith]]". He also calls him "Jared", after the former Subways spokesman who was arrested for child pornography.

* TheMenInBlack: Obviously goes to the same tailor, which causes Deadpool to name him [[FIlm/TheMatrix 'Agent Smith']] for the duration of the movie.

! Heroes

->'''Played By''': Creator/RyanReynolds

For the original timeline's version of the character, see Characters/XMenFilmSeriesTeamX

* AdaptationalDyeJob: Due to his condition making him bald it's easy to forget but in the comics Wade's hair is blonde, while here he's a brunet.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: While he still won't be winning any beauty contests, Deadpool is shown to be much less scarred than his comic-book counterpart (although even that tend to vary from comic). Being portrayed by Ryan Reynolds also adds to this, though the dialogue still pokes fun at how scarred Wade is (Weasel comments "You look like an avocado had sex with an older, more disgusting avocado"), and Deadpool himself laments in a trailer how the process made him "un-fuckable".

* AlliterativeName: Wade Wilson. He has the middle name "Winston" in the comics, but it's not mentioned here directly (he refers to himself as Wade W. Wilson during one scene). For AddedAlliterativeAppeal, he's played by Creator/RyanReynolds.

** Gets easily sidetracked in Australia Day promo talking about Hugh Jackman, to the point he forgets what he was even doing.
* AnythingThatMoves: WordOfGod has confirmed that this iteration of Deadpool, like the comics, is pansexual. [[spoiler:A cartoon version of him gets an increasingly massive erection as it talks about how hot the actors (male and female) in the film are]].

--> '''Blind Al''': Seltzer water and lemon juice for blood. Or wear red. Dumbass.

-->'''Deadpool''': Shhhhhhhhhhit, did I leave the stove on?

* CelebrityParadox: Creator/RyanReynolds exists in this universe as he appears on a magazine and Wade Wilson mentions him. Given the [[NoFourthWall nature of the film and the character]], this is to be expected.

** This is implied when the recruiter mentions Wade's past as a Special Forces soldier. Wade mentions that he originally joined the military with a genuine intention to do good, but implies he grew disillusioned which resulted in his dishonorable discharge.

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: he was a special ops soldier and then a mercenary before he became a super hero. The healing factor just ensures that he can always take more than he dishes out, and he can dish out an awful lot with his human abilities.

* FatalFlaw: Vanity. Wade was rather proud of his looks before Weapon X and his subsequent deforming is why he doesn't approach Vanessa after he escapes and why he takes [[spoiler:too long to warn her that Ajax might be after her, indirectly getting her kidnapped as a result.]] He refuses to believe that Vanessa or anyone else could love him because of his new face, pointedly ignoring how Weasel and Blind Al are fond of him for other reasons.

-->'''Wade:''' Or you'll find out that I have some hard spots, too. ''[{{Beat}}]'' That came out wrong. ''[{{Beat}}]'' Or did it? ''[Kisses stalker on cheek]''

* HealingFactor: Even for mutants, his is powerful. [[spoiler:When he is forced to cut off his hand to escape from Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, it regrows in less than a day]].

* HiddenDepths: {{Zig zagged}}. His friends would tell you that there's more to him than his looks, but you wouldn't know from talking with Wade himself. [[spoiler:He makes peace with it at the end though (although it probably helps that Vanessa tells him that he has a face she'd love to sit on)]].
* HitmanWithAHeart: Despite being an accomplished killer who has undoubtedly taken higher-paying jobs he does take on a job to scare away a young girl's stalker. He doesn't even hurt the guy as nothing has happened yet so he just roughs him up a bit. Despite the girl saying he's her hero, he insists he's not. Doesn't stop him from telling Weasel to give her back most of the money she paid for said roughing-up.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Advises Dopinder to kidnap his love interest Geeta while taking a cab to save Vanessa...who was kidnapped. Granted, Ajax isn't his love rival, nor is Vanessa interested in Ajax, but it still looks bad.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Manages a three-for-one headshot combo in midair.

* InsecureLoveInterest: A big part of why Wade refused to see Vanessa for a couple of years is because he felt he looked so horrible she would never love him.

'''Wade:''' [{{beat}}]... Thank you.

* LineOfSightName: At Sister Margaret's Home for Wayward Girls, a bar for mercenaries and hired guns, there's a "deadpool" in which the patrons place money based on who they think among them will die next. Wade takes his codename after being reminded that Weasel bet on him in the deadpool.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Having insanely powerful regeneration he treats gunshots and cuts like mild annoyances instead of life-threatening wounds. It's Completely {{justified|trope}} in his case because ''nothing'' is truly a "major injury", essentially making his reactions instead a MinorInjuryOverreaction.

--->'''Deadpool''': Argh! Right up Main Street!

--->'''Deadpool''': Motherfucker!

-->'''Deadpool''': I know, right? Whose balls did I have to fondle to get my own movie? [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} I'm not going to name names]], but it rhymes with "[[PerfectlyCromulentWord Polverine]]."

** Angel Dust isn't on screen for 30 seconds before she gets so tired of hearing him that she forcibly covers his mouth and then gags him. Does this keep him from talking? Not a chance-- he continues to mumble unintelligibly through the cloth stuffed in his pie hole.
** Colossus asked him if he had an "off switch" which led to Deadpool making a brothel joke.
* TheMusketeer: Equipped with weapons for both DualWielding and GunsAkimbo but never uses his SwordAndGun simultaneously.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:He befriends a fellow prisoner in Ajax's mutation program, but after causing an explosion to free himself Wade catches sight of his friend dying, muttering his name. Wade takes his remorse silently]].
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: Says early on that he only goes after people that he feels have done something to deserve it. He even offers to spare the soldiers working for Ajax because he sees them as just a problem by merit of who signs their paychecks and when that fails he still avoids killing one of them when it's revealed that he's his old friend Bob.

** Negasonic Teenage Warhead: -- [[Music/SineadOConnor Sinéad]], Ripley from Film/{{Alien 3}}
** Angel Dust: -- Less Angry [=RosieODonnell=]; [[UsefulNotes/BaseBall José Canseco]] in some of the trailers.
** Ajax: -- [[Music/TheSpiceGirls Posh Spice]], though he subverts this later on [[spoiler:upon learning that his real name is Francis.]]
** Weapon X recruiter: -- [[Film/TheMatrix Agent Smith]], Jared

* PreAssKickingOneLiner: He is fond of dropping a line before eliminating an opponent, like "Daddy needs to express some rage," "This guy's got the right idea! [[BringMyBrownPants He wore the brown pants.]]"
* PsychopathicManchild: His refusal to treat anything seriously makes him come off this way. Colossus calls him a "heavily armed child".

** Keeps up the jokes after his cancer diagnosis. When Vanessa finds him brooding by the window near tears in the middle of the night, he snarks that he had a nightmare about being hunted down by Liam Neeson and rambles about ''Film/{{Taken}}'' for a bit.

--->'''Deadpool:''' ''[after Negasonic Teenage Warhead answers the door at the X-Mansion]'' Ripley! From '''[[Film/{{Alien3}} Alien³]]'''!\\

* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Wade's into some kinky stuff, but couldn't quite handle getting [[spoiler:pegged from behind by Vanessa during International Women's Day.]]

* {{Troll}}: Deadpool is the master of getting on other's nerves. Even when he's in immense pain, that won't stop him from annoying his attacker to death. The most frequent example is calling Ajax "Francis".

* WouldHitAGirl: Though he's unsure if it would be more or less sexist to NOT hit a girl. [[spoiler: It cuts away a second before he shoots her, still angsting about it]].

** Angel Dust: -- Less Angry RosieODonnell, [[UsefulNotes/BaseBall José Canseco]]
** Ajax: -- [[Music/TheSpiceGirls Posh Spice]]

* SoProudOfYou: When he finds out Dopinder kidnapped his romantic rival, he whispers his approval while loudly condemning him in front of Colossus.

* BoyishShortHair: She is a girl with a buzz cut.

* CivvieSpandex: A Leather jacket and a scarf overtop her actual uniform.

* PintSizedPowerHouse: Tiny compared to Deadpool and especially Colossus, but her powers have her pack one hell of a wallop.

* {{Adorkable}}: Let's start with the fact that his first couple scenes have him eating cereal out of a bowl at least three sizes too small for him and lecturing his ward on the importance of eating breakfast in the morning. Near the end of the film, he catches a ride with Deadpool in Dopinder's cab-- he's squished in the backseat next to Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and he's casually sipping a drink from a cup that's probably normal-sized, but comically small in his giant hands.

* TheCape: He's a total boyscout when it comes to morality and manners. He's in fact the only character in the entire film who makes a point of ''not'' cursing.
* ChasteHero : Absolutely fine with 'hitting' a woman (once it's established that she can take an extreme amount of punishment), but instantly covers his eyes in shame when she has a WardrobeMalfunction in the middle of the fight.

* DistractedByTheSexy: [[spoiler: Angel Dust takes advantage of him pointing out to her exposed left boob during their fight]].

'''Colossus:''' ... that's not nice.

* HypocriticalHumor: Combined with the fact he doesn't power down in the film, [[spoiler: this makes his "Hero" speech funnier]].

* MightyGlacier: He's strong enough to overpower Angel Dust when he puts down real effort. Unfortunately he's as slow as he is strong and she made him pay for it early in their fight.

* NoSell: Deadpool breaks several of his body parts trying to injure him. Colossus isn't budged.

* ParentalSubstitute: While he does act as a BigBrotherMentor to Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Colossus has moments that make him act as a father figure to her.

* EvilBrit: He's the film's main villain and he speaks with a British accent; The opening credits even refers to him as "A British villain".

* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler: When Deadpool questions him for some, he says his CatchPhrase: "What's my name?".]]

* ForTheEvulz: "I'm not putting you back in this thing because I have to, it's because I want to".
* HateSink: A rare BigBad example, but this guy has to be one of the most disgusting human beings ever put to film, and it is hard not to cheer when ''anything'' bad happens to him

* NotSoAboveItAll: Falls for Wade's "made you look", and took the name Ajax because he was apparently embarrassed by his real name, Francis.

* {{Badass}}: Before and after the mutation, he's a hardened soldier who can and does kick metric tons of ass, despite his goofy disposition.

* {{Badass}}: Nothing and no one except Angel Dust can slow him down.[[spoiler: And he only lost to her because of modesty.]]

* {{Badass}}: Easily able to go toe-to-toe with Deadpool

* AdaptationalDyeJob: It's easy to forget but in the comics Wade's hair is blonde, while here he's a brunet.

* {{Badass}}: Easily able to go toe-to-toe with Deadpool.

* AmusingInjuries: At one point he gets pissed at Colossus (moreso) and tries to attack him, breaking a hand each time. And a foot. Negasonic Teenage Warhead finds this [[ActuallyPrettyFunny hilarious.]]

* BadassNormal: Even before gaining regenerative powers, he was an ex-Special Forces mercenary with 41 confirmed kills.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Deadpool's defining character trait. Wade is not only completely insane thanks to his cancer spreading into his brain, he's also the only character who's aware he's in a fictional work, much to the rest of the cast's confusion.

* CursedWithAwesome: His powers end up horribly scarring him, but Deadpool gains a healing factor that rivals Wolverine's in effectiveness, essentially making him immortal.

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Natch. Make it 90 confirmed kills only halfway through the film.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Tells the mooks they're [[PunchClockVillain only enemies due to being in Ajax's payroll]], as is willing to spare them. They refuse, so a massacre ensues. Though he still lets his old friend Bob live.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Advises Dopinder to kidnap his love interest Geeta while taking a cab to save Vanessa...who was kidnapped.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Having insanely powerful regeneration he treats gunshots and cuts like mild annoyances instead of life-threatening wounds. Completely {{justified|trope}} in his case ''because'' of the HealingFactor because for him ''nothing'' is truly a "major injury", essentially making his reactions instead a MinorInjuryOverreaction.

* MotorMouth: He. Never. Shuts. Up. EVER. Angel Dust isn't on screen for 30 seconds before she gets so tired of hearing him that she forcibly covers his mouth and then gags him. Does this keep him from talking? Not a chance-- he continues to mumble unintelligibly through the cloth stuffed in his pie hole.

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Several times.

* TheTrickster

* {{Troll}}: Deadpool is the master of getting on other's nerves. Even when he's in immense pain, that won't stop him from annoying his attacker to death. The most notable example is calling Ajax "Francis".

* BadassDamsel: Despite being kidnapped and used for bait for Wade, during the final battle [[spoiler: she escapes confinement and runs Ajax through with one of Wade's swords.]]
* BadassNormal: Vanessa has absolutely no powers but can still do some very impressive things. [[spoiler: Like escaping the pod Ajax puts her into and actually impaling Ajax with Wade's sword]].

* DamselInDistress: Albeit one who helps Wade fight Ajax.

* GoodBadGirl: Hangs around a bar noted to be for mercenaries, is very kinky and works in a strip joint. But she's still one of the nicest people in the movie.

* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: She's one of the nicest people in the movie.

** Negasonic Teenage Warhead: -- [[Music/SineadOConnor Sinéad]], Ripley from Alien 3
** Angel Dust: -- Less Angry RosieODonnell, José Canseco

** Weapon X recruiter: -- [[Film/TheMatrix Agent Smith]]

* DeadpanSnarker: When living with Deadpool, is better that you know this.
* DisabilitySuperpower: One of the side effects of Blind Al's blindness is that she was better hearing than average and can hear what's going on in the entire building. Unfortunately for her, that also means that [[{{Squick}} she can hear Deadpool masturbate.]]

* GrumpyOldMan: A female example. She's extremely grumpy about everything.

* SeriousBusiness: Ikea furniture. She and Wade have different preferences though he insists that because he's her tenant, his choices should take priority.

** A bit of FridgeBrilliance, as his discomfort might be from his [currently undiagnosed] prostate cancer.

* BerserkButton: He completely loses it [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness (in a completely serious fashion)]] when Vanessa is in danger. See ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend below.
