It ’s been a foresightful metre come , butDeadpoolhas finally gotten the credit he deserve . No longer is Wade Wilson just another test matter inthe Weapon X political program that produce Wolverine . Now , Marvel has made it prescribed : Deadpool is Weapon IX , the experimental super - soldier thatmade Wolverine potential .

The verification ( well , technically a heavily - connote namedrop and gag ) comesin the pages ofWolverine & Captain America : weapon system Plus # 1 , as the two heroes team up to unravel the secret history of the titulary program . For clarity ’s sake , Weapon Plus is the same railway line of generational inquiry that produce Captain America ( ' Weapon I ' ) , Wolverine ( ' Weapon X ' ) , and plenty other test subject before and since .

Officially , the ninth variant of the Weapon Plus curriculum that preface Wolverine was focused on crook and sociopath . In the raw comic ,   artillery Plus introduction lists " Project 9 " as something codenamed " Psyche , " with the final page unveil the insignia for Psyche as three field masks overlapped , suggesting split moods or fractured nous . Pile that grounds together along with the name of the project precede , " M. Hunt " … presumably short for " Mike Hunt " … and it ’s hard to imagine anything other than Deadpool ’s place in the program finally being position in gemstone .

For those ill-defined on the order of magnitude or the system of logic behind Deadpool predate Wolverine , Rob Liefeld has gone on criminal record that in his cosmos of Deadpool , him being bring out as " artillery 9 " was always the plan . Liefeld explained in an audience withCBR :

I told Marvel , " Wolverine is Weapon X. Weapon X is R.C. numeral X. Is that correct ? " They ’d say , " Yes , Rob , that ’s right . " " To my knowledge you ’ve not introduce Weapon one , two , three , four , five , six , seven , eight , nine . Have you done that ? Do you have plan for that ? " " No . " I said , " guy cable , he ’s the guy wire that went right before Wolverine , and they screwed him up because they had to soften a lot of ballock before they made the omelette . "

At that fourth dimension – and I can not be any bolder than this – walk out of " Twins , " a very popular film in the late ' 80s : Schwarzenegger and DeVito , and the whole affair of this comedy was , " How are they twins ? " And in the third act , when they are with a scientist , because they were genetically manipulated , they go to Arnold , " How are we twin ? " And they go , " Well , you ’re all the good stuff . " And he endure , " I ’m all the good stuff . " And then Danny fit , " Wait , wait . " " You ’re all the crap . " He ’s the permissive waste of the program . Deadpool is the crap of the Weapon X programme . And marred , mutilated , disfigured – he run away from the program and took his talents to practice as a worldly-minded and bounteousness hunter .

As we await prescribed confirmation following this military issue , or a prickteaser ahead of the follow up story , " Weapons Free , " fans are free to speculate , and lionise . Until then , translate the full collection detail and plot synopsis below :
