Biography[]
Vanessa worked as a prostitute and found a man named Wade Wilson, who hired as a client. Rather than sex however, Wade took her to play ski ball with him. Later however, Wade did make use of his remaining allotted time, and the two bumped fuzzies. This led to an intense romance between the two, wherein they engaged in several traditions such as dressing up for every single holiday no matter obscure. Wade proposed to Vanessa with a plastic toy ridden that he had hidden up his ass. Moments after proposing however, he fell over unconscious. Wade was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He found an option that saved his life, but doing so caused severe physical mutations of his biology, turning him into a butter face.
Unable to live like this, he abandoned Vanessa, and she believed that he had left her so that he could die with dignity. In fact, Wade became an assassin calling himself Deadpool. He sough revenge upon the man who disfigured him, Ajax, and wanted to force him to heal him. Through the course of their conflict, Ajax kidnapped Vanessa and sealed her within a plastic tube with no oxygen. Wade freed her, and though she was glad to be alive, was furious that he had left her. The two mended their ways however, and got back together. As far as having to look at Wade's facial disfigurement on a daily basis, Vanessa said, "After a brief adjustment period and a bunch of drinks, it's a face... I'd be happy to sit on".
