In this issue, we pick up back in the lab where the tech is telling Deadpool that while he is "snot man" right now, he is actually more powerful than before. Deadpool begins telling a story about how he first started out- he was a merc but then got cancer. When he volunteered for a program called "weapon x" in Canada, he walked away cured and with healing abilities. In his story, Deadpool then plays a role as one of the Hobgoblin's decoys, but that doesn't last long because Deadpool had read the map wrong. Next, The Wizard (a member of the Frightful Four) approaches him again, and tells Deadpool that he wants to recruit him for his new team. So Deadpool goes to meet the Constrictor and the Taskmaster. Then the team goes in and snags a kid from the Fantastic Four hideout. Soon, Deadpool releases that something is different- things aren't as clean cut as heroes and villains...
