In 2009, the film-going public was introduced to a version of Deadpool that left comic book fans scratching their heads in disbelief. X-Men Origins: Wolverine took the beloved anti-hero and turned him into a mutant mishmash that seemed more like a Hollywood Frankenstein than the Merc with a Mouth. Fans were outraged, but there was one silver lining: Ryan Reynolds, despite the studio's mishandling of the character, still managed to capture the essence of Deadpool in his limited screen time. Little did they know, this would be the beginning of a redemption story for everyone's favorite wisecracking anti-hero.
