He took his name from this.", 242.0], ["Deadpool got his name from a betting pool at the Hospice, where failed members of Department K Canadian branch of the Weapons X program were sent for treatment. But the Hospice was being used by Dr Killebrew as a source of human lab rats for experiments, not part of the official Weapon X program", 91.0]]
