Deadpool Pulp #1
In "Untitled," Deadpool is recruited for a high-stakes mission when Outlaw steals a nuclear briefcase, forcing Cable and Stryfe to choose their most dangerous asset: the mercenary Wade Wilson. Though Deadpool fails every psychological test with alarming flair—his history of brutal captivity as a Japanese POW clearly taking its toll—Cable still sends him in, trusting chaos over certainty. Written by Adam Glass and Mike Benson, with interior art by Laurence Campbell and colors by Lee Loughridge, this 2010 Marvel pulp tale captures Deadpool’s razor-edge madness in a story that’s equal parts darkly comic and tense. The cover by Jae Lee adds a striking, stylized intensity to the issue’s already sharp tone.

Outlaw has stolen a nuclear briefcase from the U.S. government and Cable and Stryfe have to decide which of their agents would be best suited to bring her in. They settle on Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, an agent who became borderline psychotic after being tortured as a Japanese POW for an entire year. Wade is put through a battery of psychological testing which he fails spectacularly. Cable throws the report out, however, and sends Deadpool anyway.
