Origin
Lady Deadpool is a female version of Deadpool from the alternate reality Earth-3010, named Wanda Wilson. Out of a need to belong and feel wanted, she joins the side of a group of rebels fighting against loyalists in the United States (a situation started by factions within the government by fascists and from select states seceding).
Creation
Wanda Wilson was created by the creative team of writer Victor Gischler and artist Rob Liefeld.
Major Story Arcs
Wanda is a relatively secluded person, not wanting to go out into the sun until her cable goes out. Once outside she is hired by Shamus Onus to protect the face of some “Rebel’s Force.” Wanda quickly falls in love with the failed actor turned Rebel Leader Charles Randolph, who happens to already have a girlfriend.
Wanda continues to try and impress Charles one way or another. Lucky for Charles she was there when a very angry man, who had been left by his wife and kids because they wanted to follow the rebellion, decided to assault Charles with his shoe. Wanda is there to intercept the shoe with her face. She lost several teeth in the process but considered it worth it. After she blows the man to “smithereens” Charles romantically lifts her from the floor, cementing in Wanda’s mind the idea that they’re meant to be together.
Determined to be with Charles, Wanda interrupts an intimate moment between Charles and “Ginger”, the aforementioned girlfriend, which is then interrupted in turn by General America. Wanda begins to refuse to let that happen but Ginger assaults her with a Taser, rendering her incapacitated.
General America takes Charles to a secret compound and Onus succeeds in persuading Wanda to rescue him by offering her a ready meal of peach cobbler and shepherd’s pie. Of course she takes the job, and ends up fighting General America for her love again.
General America is leading the loyalists and Wanda heads an assault against forces in Washington D.C. The two have met before – leading to Deadpool ‘s interference (with Headpool) and the amputation of the General’s right arm. As the two meet again, he starts to get the better of her but Deadpool teleports in and helps Wanda take out General America. Deadpool informs Wanda of the plight at hand and because she is so easily sweet-talked into things, she quickly accepts and the two teleport out of that universe. Later, when Deadpool returned to his apartment with Headpool, Lady Deadpool is found playing Guitar Hero with Kidpool.
Powers and Abilities
Being the alternate universe version of Deadpool, Wanda Wilson also has incredible athletic ability and fighting prowess. She is skilled with firearms and also has Deadpool’s incredible healing factor. It is assumed that she has all the same powers as Deadpool, which include :
- She’s an expert in both close and ranged combat weaponry.
- She has a limited immunity to telepathy due to her constantly fluctuating brain cells
- Olympic-level strength, speed, stamina, and agility.
- Lady Deadpool is fluent in several languages, including English, French, Japanese, and Spanish
- Lady Deadpool also has had several personal transportation devices
- Lady Deadpool has an ability often referred to as “bottomless satchel”, where she can pull guns, explosives, food (usually Hic. brand beer cans) and ammunition, out of nowhere (usually by reaching into one of her pockets, often times pulling out something that was bigger than the pocket itself).
- Lady Deadpool has a very strong healing factor obtained from Wolverine. This healing factor healed her completely from cancer, and grants her the ability to heal any injury within seconds, more complex injuries can take longer. She can even re-grow lost limbs and organs.
- She is one of the few people with enough skill to handle Captain America’s shield.
- Her unpredictable fighting style can be advantageous against the likes of Taskmaster, as Taskmaster learns the moves of others using his advanced memory and learns strengths and weaknesses based upon past experience.
