He was created to be a straight up parody of the DC Comics anti-villain Deathstroke down to his look, his armament, even his abilities (though Deadpool's are blown up WAAAY more than Deathstroke's, which is the point.)

Look even at the names:

Deathstroke = Deadpool Slade Wilson = Wade Wilson

Even his creators pointed this out.

And for the record, I hate Deadpool. He's the internet given comic book avatar form. No development, a long history (that is often neglected), full of useless information, and does and says shit BECAUSE. His jokes are crass, unfunny, instantly dated by their nature of often being soaked in pop-culture, and he doesn't even have a CHARACTER beyond a name, a different name, his costume, and a few supporting cast members that are barely worth mentioning because HE barely mentions them himself. So yeah, fuck Deadpool.
