Synopsis for 1st story

Deadpool, tight on money because he has not had any freelance mercenary job in months, attempts to recover a valuable minature pony named Cobbles who is being driven away from his ranch in a semi truck by a kidnapper. Deadpool kills the kidnapper driving the truck, but fails to notice in time that the truck is driving off of a cliff. The truck is temporarily stopped from its fall on a large protruding branch, but before Deadpool can get out a mysterious man with half of a face that looks like it is a statue repels down the cliff and snatches the pony from the truck. A shocked Deadpool falls with the truck down to the bottom of the cliff where it explodes, and Deadpool walks out of the wreckage, burned and disfigured (but alive because of his extraordinatry healing factor), griping about the botched job.

Deadpool returns home to his New York apartment littered with overdue bills, and receives a call offering him a new mercenary job to kill a man named "Jace Burns". Deadpool accepts the job and makes his way down to the California Redwoods where he hires a seductress to find out Jace's hotel room number in a high-class casino. After she completes her job, Deadpool surprises the woman by paying her in only a coupon to the casino's buffet, and he bounds off to set himself up for a sniper shot at Jace's hotel room.

An hour later, Jace arrives in his hotel room, but before Deadpool is able to pull the trigger on his sniper rifle to kill Jace, he is surprised by a quick gunshot fired by Jace himself that hits Deadpool right in the eye. A frustrated and surprised Deadpool tries to shoot Jace and then uses a vine hanging from the tree he is in to slide down into Jace's hotel room to try and kill him with a knife instead. Deadpool is yet again surprised to find that Jace is an adept combatant and has a high-tech wristwatch with many deadly gadets inside it to help him fight. Deadpool tears the wristwatch off of Jace's arm but foolishly presses random buttons, causing it to violently explode and blow up half of the treetop casino. Jace is killed in the explosion and Deadpool is rendered unconscious.

Deadpool wakes up in an unknown medical room somewhere, with three individuals standing over him and telling him about his mission. Deadpool eventually realizes that they believe he is a badly burned and disfigured Jace Burns, and that they think the bones and ashes of the real Jace were those of his assassin. Deadpool decides to play into the deception and pretend he is Jace Burns.

Meanwhile, somewhere else, a mysterious figure is informed that Jace Burns is still alive and plots another way to kill him.

Now, it’s up to Wade to complete his victim’s mission as only he can – with excessive violence, an accelerated healing factor, and maybe, just maybe, a few laughs along the way.
