Information on the rapper

Wade Winston Wilson was a Canadian soldier veteran until he was diagnosed with cancer. He retired from the army and underwent experimentation as part of the Canadian "Weapon X" program which gave Wolverine his claws. While there, Wilson was given the mutant healing abilities of Wolverine, making him the least likely to die of all the subjects, thus the king of the "dead pool", where the subjects would bet on who would die next. His healing factor worked with his cancer so that it quickly spread over his body, leaving him in constant pain and his body heavily scarred. As a side-effect, he became fourth-wall aware, constantly breaking the fourth wall with his yellow text boxes in which other personalities of his speak.

Deadpool soon became invincible, and as such set out as a mercenary in which he eventually fought Wolverine, Spider-Man, and the Hulk. He joined with friend and X-Men member, Cable, and became part of the X-Men splinter team, "X-Force". He is currently a member of Captain America's ex-Avengers team in "Uncanny Avengers".

Deadpool was designed by Marvel Comics as a parody of their rival company's character, Deathstroke; the two sharing the surname Wilson and a similar appearance, as well as Deadpool's healing factor, mercenary status, and much of his background being derived from Deathstroke. Deadpool also appeared in the 2016 live-action film of the same name where he is portrayed by Ryan Reynolds.

Lyrics

Verse 1:

Oh, is it me? Well, here's my first issue:

I barely even know enough about you to diss you!

But do you guys honestly think that I would screw this feud up

And lose to the dude a huge toothy cootchie chewed up?!

That's bananas! I do damage when I brandish my katanas!

Man, I'll slice you up then vanish in my lady bug pajamas!

I'm one of a kind; you're a xerox of your papa!

Doing temp work for Vader and odd jobs for Jabba!

I'm tight; you're mad baggy! I'm toned; you're so flappy!

Mad 'cause Sam Jackson killed your clone daddy!

Somebody oughta put a bounty on that cape!

Maybe I'll write a letter and mail it in your face!

Verse 2:

Ooooh, what's that? A missile backpack?

Well, I guess you'll be alright if a fucking bird attacks!

Presenting the most overrated character anyone ever saw,

With five lines in the trilogy, and one of them was, "AAAH!"

Verse 3:

Who you calling schizophrenic?! You've got two different voices!

You're like your holiday special, man: full of bad choices!

Verse 4:

And the coolest things about you got straight up abandoned!

You let a kiwi hold your gun and he fucked up your canon!

So maybe don't talk about movies 'cause you've got dick to say!

Wrap that arm dart around Jar Jar and go far, far away!
