HISTORY: Young mutant shape-shifter Vanessa
Carlysle fell into a life of prostitution in Boston, where
she met and fell in love with mercenary Wade
Wilson. Carlysle was soon saved from Wilson's vengeful
employers by Zoe Culloden, a time-traveling agent of Landau,
Luckman & Lake who had journeyed into the past to prevent
Wilson's eventual self-destruction. That night, Wilson broke
up with Carlysle after learning he had cancer, leaving her
heartbroken. Carlysle became a mercenary herself, eventually
employed by arms dealer Tolliver,
who had her impersonate the mercenary Domino
so as to spy on Cable, even joining
Cable's new X-Force
strike team. Tolliver ultimately ordered Carlysle to bomb
X-Force's headquarters, but she had come to care for her teammates,
and she stalled until Tolliver dispatched the masked mercenary
Deadpool to force her hand. Confronted by X-Force over her
betrayal, but still posing as Domino, Carlysle helped them
fight Tolliver. While Cable discovered the true Domino still
alive as Tolliver's prisoner, Carlysle was felled by Deadpool,
though she managed to escape.
Carlysle went into hiding, but was first found by Deadpool,
and then Domino. Carlysle delayed Domino's intended retribution
by helping her locate X-Force, after which she escaped again.
Carlysle then became involved in the hunt for Tolliver's will,
during which she was mortally wounded by Slayback. She survived
by copying Deadpool's healing factor. Later, Carlysle sought
to live a peaceful life in San Francisco with Garrison Kane,
but she soon encountered Deadpool again. Carlysle was subsequently
captured by the emotion-manipulating Psycho-Man, who sought
Kane's advanced technology. She was rescued from the Microverse
by Kane, Cable, Domino, and the Microverse's resident heroes,
the Microns. Returning to Earth, Carlysle finally made peace
with Domino.
Seeking revenge on Deadpool, Taskmaster and the Wizard hired
Carlysle to impersonate the super-strong Titania and gain
Deadpool's trust, though he later confessed he had seen through
her disguise. She went on to join the subversive Weapon
X Program alongside Kane, and was sent to recruit Deadpool
into the program. However, her power enhancement by Weapon
X began to affect her memory, and she lost track of her mission.
Instead, she began seducing Deadpool, but ultimately ended
their relationship over his infatuation with Siryn. Deadpool
was subsequently recruited by the project to eliminate her,
but after he declined she was apparently killed by their agent,
Sabretooth.
