Deadpool #3
In Deadpool #3 (1997), written by Joe Kelly and illustrated by Ed McGuinness, the Merc with a Mouth faces a bizarre and deeply personal crisis when he tries—unsuccessfully—to regrow his severed middle finger in front of his fellow mercenaries. After Black Tom sends him a mocking reminder in the form of the glove from his lost hand, Deadpool teams up with Siryn to track down her evil uncle, only to stumble upon Killebrew, one of the scientists behind the Weapon X program, who delivers a shocking revelation about Deadpool’s deteriorating healing factor. The cover by Ed McGuinness and Nathan Massengill captures the issue’s offbeat, darkly comedic tone.

In trying to grow his middle finger back in front of his merc buddies, Deadpool is deeply embarrassed when he finds out that he can't do it. Black Tom taunts Deadpool by sending him the glove from the hand he removed (in the 2nd Deadpool limited series) and Deadpool collects Siryn so the two can head off to take down her evil uncle. Instead they find Killebrew, one of the doctors who created Deadpool for Weapon X, and he explains that Deadpool’s faulty healing factor is due to the fact that he is dying.
