History

Deadpool's Team

This group of mercenaries gathered together by Deadpool was originally named Heroes for Hire.[1] Deadpool was inspired to create a franchise around his identity after Solo impersonated him, and piggybacked on the merc's success to take jobs at Deadpool's pay rate. Solo's impersonation helped Deadpool become more popular, thus benefiting both mercs.[2]

After turning Solo into his first employee, Deadpool began to recruit other vigilantes, who would initially wear costumes identical to his.[1] Following a cease and desist letter from Luke Cage, the leader of the original and defunct Heroes for Hire,[3] Deadpool's team was legally forced to change their name, and they chose "Mercs for Money."[4] Around this time, the Mercs for Money began to use color-coded costumes to distinguish each other from an independent Deadpool impersonator who was ruining the real one's reputation.[5] This evil impersonator ended up being revealed as Madcap, who was also a member of the Mercs for Money.[6] Once they got rid of Madcap, the Mercs for Money began using their own personal uniforms.[7]
