Biography
Sometime after attending Oxford, the Renaissance-obsessed Deathtrap became an assassin within high-class circles, flaunting a love for brandy and women, and boasting a death count of 3,000 people. He eventually became bored with killing through the "usual implements", so he began creating elaborate deathtraps to slay his victims, making it his mission to elevate death to an art form. During a lull in business he selected the mercenary Deadpool (Wade Wilson) as a target in this new direction.
