Powers. Superhuman regenerative healing factor (derived from Weapon X / Wolverine's), augmented strength/agility/stamina, expert marksman and martial artist, skilled with swords and firearms; fourth-wall awareness in some stories.

Origin
Wade Wilson is a wisecracking mercenary with a severe healing factor—the result of a rogue Weapon X experiment that attempted to treat his terminal cancer by grafting Wolverine's regenerative abilities onto his cells, leaving him physically scarred but virtually unkillable. Armed with swords, guns, and an unstoppable mouth, he burst onto the scene picking a fight with the New Mutants before carving out a reputation as Marvel's self-aware, fourth-wall-breaking 'Merc with a Mouth.'
