In this issue, Deadpool goes to meet with the Taskmaster and finds out that the "Black Swan" is the guy that infected Deadpool's head. Deadpool has a lovely monologue about the romance of peanuts and how their shell keeps them apart. Before he leaves, the Taskmaster offers to go with Deadpool to take out the Black Swan. Then Deadpool goes to help a man take out another man in order to keep his son (who is a mutant that can dream the future) safe. He hands Deadpool a drawing that shows the Black Swan flying and Deadpool lying in a puddle of blood.

In this issue, we pick up with Deadpool visiting Sandi in the hospital, who has been beaten up by her boyfriend...again. So Deadpool goes and beats him up really badly, but doesn't kill him because Sandi doesn't want that on her conscience. However, the Taskmaster (who didn't promise Sandi anything) also shows up and shoots the guy. Later, Deadpool and Ratbag go off to confront the Black Swan and wrecks his home while he's at it. The Black Swan fesses up and says it was him that took out the people he had been telling his assistant that Deadpool killed. When Deadpool shows a bomb he's been carrying, he demands that the Black Swan fixes Ratbag's head, and when he does, Deadpool tells Ratbag to run. Deadpool and Black Swan fight and then the bomb goes off. At the very end of the issue there is a page of "bloopers."

In this issue we meet The Watcher, a man that lives on the moon and observes the people on Earth. A situation is brought to his attention- that Deadpool and Al are about to teleport right on top of an older lady. The good news though, they managed to teleport together without any anomalies... Or so he thinks. When Deadpool teleports to the Hellhouse, he finds that it is Sister Margarets Home For Wayward Girls. Deadpol soon realizes that he and Al had transported back in time! Turns out, Deadpool and Doorman tried to use their power/teleporter at the same time, and they didn't mix well. While in the past, Deadpool discovers that he is Peter Parker's (Spiderman) house. In a photo he sees a young Weasel. Thinking Weasel can fix his teleportation belt if he goes to find him, Deadpool decides to use his tech to look exactly like Peter in order to prevent messing up the timestream. But of course, he gets himself into quite the situation, which includes a fight with Kraven the Hunter, and risks changing the past.

This issue also included the story how it turned out the "first time around."

In this issue, Deadpool finds himself in a tube of liquid in a lab. The lab assistant tells Deadpool that he isn't dying, but he was found in a pile of goo. So now, he is trying to get this healing powers to work properly. To ensure that Deadpool doesn't die, he also has the Grim Reapress in a tube.

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...

When this issue picks up, we're back with Deadpool and the lab tech. Deadpool repeats that his past was filled with him doing stuff he wasn't proud of, getting cancer, joining project x, having treatment, gaining a healing factor, losing most of his skin, and then left to rot in pit called the dead pool. When Deadpool tries to attack the lab tech, he turns into jello. The lab tech tells him again that his bones and muscles have lost their molecular cohesion, but that a suit he has created will help, but he will need to wear it one hour per day. Deadpool then tells the tech a story about going after Bullseye. In the end of their battle, Deadpool decided to avoid killing a bunch of bystanders and lost his chance of killing Bullseye. Because of this, Deadpool got fired from his job. The tech then asks Deadpool about his childhood and we learn that Deadpool never met his dad. Once Deapool has his suit on, he attacks the tech again, this time it works. Deadpool then busts the Grim Reaperess out and leaves the lab, which is exactly what it looks like the tech wanted him to do. In the next flashback, we see Deadpool taking part in being decoys for other characters. Then he goes to find his mom to ask her who his dad was, but that didn't go well. Back in current time, Deadpool reaches the surface and discovers that he isn't on Earth...and then the lab tech comes back out and reveals himself as Loki! Loki also says, "I am thy father!"

"Oh, hi, kids -- Deadpool here. Hate to interrupt the story like this, but our fine artist had the overwhelming urge to draw me in this pin-up shot even though its nowhere in the script."-Deadpool

This issue begins with one of the best descriptions of Deadpool: "Shrouded in stolen identities and clandestine secrets, the merc-with-a-mouth is a man of mystery. Hero? Villain? Sociopath? Deadpool makes his own rules and played by nobody's game. He is an agent of chaos confined to a world of constricting order; blasting down the fourth wall brick by brick." Then we're back with Deadpool and Loki. Loki is asking him to do a favor for him. Deadpool isn't sold on the idea of Loki being his dad, but he goes along with it for now. We then see Deadpool in NYC with Thor, who was rescuing people from a building. Loki told Deadpool that if he separated Thor from his hammer for 60 seconds, he will become mortal. So while Thor is saving people, Deadpool looks for the hammer but is also tempted to help Thor save people. Once Deadpool has the hammer, he does a few things, like going to a fair to use the hammer to hit the bell at the top of the tower...going to a baseball field to hit a ball out of the park. Thor catches up to him soon enough and Loki brings them both back to the lab where he puts Thor in the tube. Of course Thor escapes and discovers that Loki switched the hammers. Thor get Mjolnir back and then knocks Deapool out and leaves. When Deadpool goes back home, he sees that his appearance has changed...

In this issue, we pick up with Deadpool realizing that it's not just his image inducer that is still on, his appearance has actually changed thanks to Loki's curse. Deadpool will remain looking this way until he seeks his "fathers" forgiveness. So in usual Deadpool fashion, he tires the most ridiculous things to try to damage his appearance again (like getting run over by a train, or putting his face in a pot of boiling oil, etc.). Deadpool tries to get some advice, but when he calls Theresa, she has lost her voice and can't respond to him. When Deadpool tries to cheer himself up, he ends up wrecking his suit. He goes back to where he got his first one and demands that another one is made and that he get a temporary one in the meantime. Deadpool walks out of there with the torso and hands of spiderman, legs and feet of wolverine, and a boars head. Then he goes off to rent a house and finds out he's got two roommates.

In this issue, we pick up with Deadpool getting "acquainted" to his new roommates, Mary (Skeeter/Titania) and Frank. Weeks later, Skeeter is working for Deadpool. Her, Deadpool and Frank are out at a Russian teahouse that is full of other villains. When the three leave, someone calls Skeeter Thundra and she gets very angry. When they go to pick up Deadpool's new suit, Skeeter also gets one...one with a tag that says Thundra on it. When they all return home they have a recorded message from the Taskmaster that Deadpool thinks is a set up. So of course he goes to Nevada, where he is expected and attacked. But when Deadpool calls out the Taskmaster, the Taskmaster puts him to work...with Eclecta, pyro and Malovick.

In this issue, we pick up with Deadpool and the team going into space to save the death ray before it burns up on its re-entry to Earth. We get a flashback to their simulation of the task, which doesn't go very smoothly...and of course, neither does the mission itself. Meanwhile, Whiplash pays a visit to Frank and Skeeter to fix Frank's tentacles.
