Fictional character biography

Dogpool originates from Earth-103173, where a dog named Wilson was subjected to animal testing by the cosmetics company Babeline as part of Project Mascara-X, intended to create an eternal youth product. The experiments horribly mutated him, and he was left in a dumpster to die. He escaped and was recruited by a circus that exploited his regenerative abilities for death-defying tricks, adopting the name Deadpool. He later joined the Deadpool Corps, befriended Kidpool, and was killed by an evil Deadpool variant.
