[[Deadpool|Wade Wilson]] is one of Killebrew's favored patients because he endures levels of pain and torture that killed lesser subjects, encouraging Killebrew to find increasingly creative ways to hurt him. Francis Freeman becomes tired of Wilson's disrespectful attitude and arranges for Killebrew to kill him. Killebrew's final experiment, involving the transplant of DNA from [[Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]] to see whether he could recreate the latter's healing factor, gives Wilson a healing factor of his own. Wilson kills Freeman and escapes the Workshop, while Killebrew makes his own escape without being noticed.

Killebrew returns to the Weapon X facility to help [[Black Tom Cassidy]], who is dying of illness. Before Killebrew can begin, [[Juggernaut (character)|Juggernaut]] arrives to rescue Tom and captures Killebrew. When Deadpool teams up with [[Banshee (character)|Banshee]] and his daughter [[Siryn]] to find their cousin Black Tom, they also ended up finding Killebrew as well.

Francis Freeman is resurrected through cybernetics and tracks down Deadpool, killing all of the escaped patients from Weapon X. After torturing Killebrew for info, he is able to learn Deadpool's whereabouts and find him. Overcome with guilt, Killebrew sacrifices himself to destroy Ajax's helmet.<ref name=":0" /><ref>''Deadpool'' (vol. 2) #19 (June 1998)</ref>
