You guys should really take a break from all your carnage and mayhem... and come take a look at all this carnage and mayhem!

 O my god, finally we have the card for the merc with the mouth. We have seen his model for awhile now but I can not wait to get this model and paint him up.

The biggest surprise for me was the 3 threat. I was sure that Deadpool was going to be a 4 threat. Deadpool has 4 stamina on his healthy side and 6 on his injured side, moves medium at size 2. His defences are 3 physical, 3 energy and 4 mystic. This is about normal for a 3 threat expect the extra one on the mystic. Deadpool's stab attack is range 2 strength 5 and costs no power but Deadpool gains power equal to damage dealt. So it is a staby strike. Strength 5 is nice for a 3 threat. Deadpool next attack is Bang it is range 4 strength 4 and 0 power and if a wild and hit is roll Bang, Bang goes off which is another attack against the same target and if this attack rolls wild and two hits Deadpool gets to make another bang attack against the same target. Deadpool has one more attack on his healthy side, Duodenum Poke it cost 3 power is range 2 with a strength of 6.  If damage is dealt the target gains bleed and slow after the attack is resolved. This could see some play especially with a number of things interacting with slow like She Hulk and All Webbed Up. Plus Bleed is always nice to drop onto characters. Maximum Effort! is only on his injured side it is range 2, strength 7 and cost 4 power and on a wild a dance party happens allowing Deadpool to advance short and all characters within 2 suffer a damage. Deadpool gains power for each damage caused in this way. That is a spicy chimichanga. 

Deadpool has one active superpower, Merc with a Mouth, it cost 3 power and removes 2 power from an enemy character within 3 of Deadpool. He also has 3 innate superpowers, I know karate allowing him to reroll 1 die in attack and defence rolls. Unicorns, Rainbows and Sugar Plums dancing through my head prevents Deadpool from being pushed or advanced by enemy Mystic attacks or superpowers. That is very specifically worded so Shuri can still push Deadpool but not by the mind gem. Deadpool has a healing factor of 2. On his injured side things change a little bit more. All right, Now It's Serious which makes Deadpool count as healthy for contesting, Team Tactic cards and special rules. This would mean that Deadpool would always count as 2 in Criminal Syndicate. 

Deadpool comes with some tactics cards, Chimichangas is the first it is unaffiliated and active. Deadpool spends 1 power and gains a Chimichanga objective token (asset) At the end of character's activation it gains 1 power and mat remove 1 damage or a special condition. If Deadpool drops the token it can be picked up by anyone. This has some interesting interactions with some leadership abilities like the web warriors who can reroll critical failures (skulls) while holding an objective token and Criminal Syndicate who can pay a power to pass objective tokens around. Deadpool with this card might make a good splash character in these teams.

Pretty Sneaky, Sis is an X-Force reactive card, during the power phase any number of allied X-Force characters may spend 2 power each to play this card. Enemy characters must be within range 2 of characters that spent power to target them with attacks this round. Not sure what to make of this until we see what the X-Force leadership ability and full roster.

Yoink is an unaffiliated card and is active Deadpool spends 2 power and can have one effect listed on the card.  If Deadpool is within range 2 of an allied Cable Deadpool can be placed within 2 of his current position. If Domino is with 2 of Deadpool he may us the grenade bounce attack listed on her card once this activation without paying the power cost. If Wolverine is within 2 and has an objective token Deadpool yoinks it. If an enemy Bob, Agent of Hydra is within 2 you may remove any number of loaded tokens from it. This will be very situational because not only do you need Deadpool but you opponent to bring Bob aswell. The other abilities on this card are freaking awesome I can not see me leaving this card out of my 8 if I have any of the characters listed in my roster with Deadpool. The rest of the X Force are coming soon and when we have those cards and the full text of the leadership will we will know more about how Deadpool plays

I can not wait to get Deadpool to the table and start causing mayhem with him.
