After assisting a revolution in Bolivia (and getting paid in revolutionary bucks), Deadpool heads back to merc central to have words with Patch. Pool's next mission takes him to Antarctica to tangle with Sasquatch and blow up a gamma research station in the process. Finding out that the melting gamma core will irradiate the entire southern hemisphere, Deadpool fixes the problem and saves the day. DP is approached by Zoe and Noah and offered a position with Landau, Luckman and Lake but he quickly turns them down as being a good guy isn't exactly his style.

Synopsis

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 Pool 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 Pool's faulty healing factor is due to the fact that he is dying.
