When Braniac betrayed him, and indeed, betrayed the world, it had been Lex Luthor of all people that had come to the rescue. The android would have had the entire universe perfectly ordered... No, Enslaved - but luthor had shut the android down, and The Red Son destroyed it.
An act that had only paved the way for an even greater danger to the world, annhilation. The ship, Braniac's ship that the Comrade of steel was now shoving through space in an attempt to take it as far from earth as possible before it exploded. He almost felt glad, in a way, leaving the world behind, after he'd been manipulated like that by Braniac. Even if he somehow survived, the Red Son had already set...
Moments before the cosmos-shaking explosion, his surroundings changed, he was back on... Earth again?
No, it wasn't earth, it was somewhere else. There were people here, he recognized a few of them, terrorist superhumans the Americans had recruited in the fight against him and the Motherland. But, different somehow - he must look odd to them as well, different clothing, different scars, but the same face and body. Why would these men save me? They've been trying to kill me for decades!

"Hi! Nice to meet you, they call me Deadpool. Funny story that, back in the Weapon X program I was one of the professor's sweethearts, odds were I was NEVER going to be the one to die, and after so much betting went into the "deadpool" I got up a thousand to one odds!
Those kinda've odds on your living does something to a man, drives you a little PSYCH-O, they're like Cheerios, but 10x more crazy fun for kids! Tried to get myself killed, y'know, fuck with the odds. Trouble was, never could manage it. Being a failure at trying to kill yourself is really some kind of Grade-A high class failure, know it?
I sure do.
Anyways, I may just be ink and words, and these just be little yellow boxes with my thoughts in them, but just remember, I seee you!"
With that, Deadpool takes a bow before... Well, no-one's around to hear his little speech. But he's somewhere new, so what the hell. Introductions were in order.
Now! Off to find someone in this inter-dimensional cleft of dimension.

Self-righteous bastards, all of them. Superheroes, supervillians, they're all the same, fighting their great fights and taking each other alive for god knows what reason. The rest of us just get caught up in the crossfire, good people, like my wife, and my kids, we get killed just because we don't have super-speed or super-strength.
Looks like one of them wanted me out of the way too, transport me somewhere else, too scared to come after the killer mortal Frank Castle. Too scared to let me run free, keep killing all them super-bastards. Well, I'll just have to find a way back won't I? And if there are more worthless sacks of shit to get out of the way, so be it.
The Punisher, after this extended soliloquy, strikes out through the wilderness he's found himself in, coming into sight of Spider-Man, Venom, and Union Jack before too long. He keeps himself concealed, and his mind blank, he knows the Spiders have some kind of telepathy that warns them when someone's thinking unkind thoughts about them, or about to do something dangerous to them. He knows it, and so he keeps watching with a face pale as snow, because he's thinking, What the hell? I already killed those two!
