Deadpool

  Psychopath,  assassin,  absolutely  crazy  in  the  head.  All  words  used  to  describe  Wade  Wilson, more  famously  known  as  Deadpool.  Deadpool  is  one  of   Marvel's  more....interesting characters.  Born  to  a  abusive  military  father  and  a  mother  who  died  when  he  was  still  young,  you  could  say  Deadpool  didn't  have  a  very  easy  life.  He  was  a  delinquent  when  he  was  a  child  and  hung  around  with  the  wrong  crowd.  One  day  at  a  bar,  his  father  came  to  get  bring  him  home,  furious  he  was  even  there.  In  the  heat  of  the  moment  one  of  Wades  friends  grabbed  his  hand  gun  and  shot  his  dad.  Afterwords  he  joined  the  military  for  a  brief  period  of  time,  and  then  became  a  hired  assassin  for  whoever  payed  him  the  highest  bid.  He  worked  for  various  people  all  over  the  world  and  fell  in  love  many  times.  All  relationships  always  seemed  to  turn  sour  for  him  though. This  tends  to  happen  when  you  are  ordered  to  kill  your  lovers  I  guess.   Eventually  Wade developed  cancer.  Would  this  be  the  end  of  our  beloved Wade  Wilson?  Naaaahhh.  He's  just  crazy  enough  to  let  himself  be  subjected  to  excruciating  tests  and  experiments  known  as  the  weapon  x  program.  For  you  devoted  Marvel  lovers  you  should  recognize  this  as  the  procedure  Wolverine  also  went  through.  For  Wade,  this  procedure  reduced  his  cancer  by  giving  him  the  ability  to regenerate  himself,  also  the  same  power  Wolverine  has.  This  experiment  made  Deadpool  the  person  he  is  today.  Sadly,  this  was  also what  made  him  psycho.  But  he  doesn't  mind,  he  now  has  someone  to  talk  to!

Legion

How  many  of  you  have  heard  of  Legion?  If  you  have  I'm  impressed!  Though  he  is  the  son  of  Professor  Charles Xavier,  many  people  have  no  clue  of  who  he  is  or what amazing  powers  he  posses.  Legions  real  name  is  David Charles  Haller,  named  after  his  father.  Professor  Xavier  met  Gabrielle  Haller  at  an  institute  for  the  mentally traumatized  and  they  had  an  affair  resulting  in  the  birth  of their  son  David.  But  Professor  Xavier  was  unaware  of  the birth  of  his  own  son!  Their  relationship  did  not  work  out and  Gabrielle  never  told  him  of  their  child.  David  grew  up without  a  father  and  was  filled  with  anger  from  his  fathers "betrayal"  of  their  family.  When  David  was  young  he  was a  victim  of  a  terrorist  attack  which  caused  his  mutant powers  to  emerge  because  of  the  heightening  of  his emotions.  During  the  raid,  his  powers  went  off  and  he absorbed  the  leader  of  the  terrorist  group,  Karami's, consciousness  and  he  became  blended  with  his  own.  Obviously,  being  trapped  in  someone  elses'  mind   isn't  very  fun;  especially  when  that  person  is  David  Haller.  David  suffered  from  multiple  personality  disorder  before  this  event  and  after,  it  became even  worse.  His  personalities  separated  into  different  people,  each  with  their  own  unique  powers.  Now  imagine  adding  a  terrorist  into  this  group  of  your  personalities!  Ya,  not  good.  David's  earliest  "personalities"  were  Jack  Wayne,  who  controls  his  telekinetic  abilities,  and  Cindi,  who  controlled  his  pyrotechnic  powers.  (Powers relating to fire and explosions)  This  led  to  a  war  inside  his  brain  between  the  personalities  and  David's  own  mind.  His  father  eventually  had  to  come  in  and  assist  using  his  own  powers  of  telepathy.  Davids'  personalities  continued  to  split  and  become  their  own  as  time   went  on.  This  proves  to  be  a  difficulty  for  him  to  control  even  now.  He  has  currently  been  working  with  fellow  mutants  Magneto,  (Erik  Lensher)  Gambit,  (Remmy  Lebou) ,  Rogue,  (Anna  Marie)  and  Frenzy,  (Joanna  Cargill)  to  collect  some  of  his  recent  escaped  personalities.  Legion  is  a  very  powerful,  very  unstable,  mutant.  Though  he  has  recently  acquired  a  watch  that  helps  him  choose  which  personality  and  which  powers  to  wield,  it  has  become  increasingly  difficult  to  control.  Will  his  alternate  personalities  overtake  him?  Only  time  will  tell.  But  for  now,  Legion  is  here  to  stay.
