And when Nick Fury needed someone to infiltrate the invading Skrull armada to retrieve vital information, he called in Deadpool-- and Deadpool took care of business. But to Wade's surprise, the data he swiped was stolen in transit by Norman Osborn, who used it to kill the Skrull queen and win the gratitude of everyone on Earth. But Deadpool isn't interested in gratitude. He's interest in big, fat paychecks. And since Norman now owes him one, Deadpool's on his way to collect.
