Description
Deadpool + Harley Quinn = Jester

Harlene Wilson was a promising- if naive and gullible- scientist, working under the charismatic Dr. Killbrew. Harlene fell in love with Killbrew, never realizing that he didn't reciprocate her interest and was only using her for his own ends. When Harlene contracted an untreatable form of cancer, Killbrew manipulated her into being a guinea pig for his experiments with cellular regeneration, using the cells culled from the mutant Deathclaw. Killbrew had no intention of curing Harlene, but he hoped to learn from the experimentation on her form to further his research. His treatment on Harley ravaged her body and destroyed her mind, causing her to break from reality in order to cope with the pain. Finding out about Killbrew's betrayal of her trust, Harlene broke out of captivity and slew Killbrew in a rage. With her newfound abilities and a powerful healing factor, Harlene took up the identity of the Jester, becoming a merc for hire, figuring that if the world was one big joke, she might as well look the part.

I knew I wanted to blend Deadpool with a character from DC this time around. I debated blending him with Lobo, but it never seemed to fit. I just kept coming back to Harley Quinn, and the pairing just seemed natural. Both are characters that are broken mentally, with tragic backstories, who use laughter to disguise their pain. Plus, both have become sort of "Meta" characters for their respective companies, with their stories falling on the more dark comedy/ wacky side of things. Plus, they both have red and black costumes, with made the blending easier.

For the look, really it's just Deadpool's costume with Harley's color separations. Deadpool's eyemarks I made into a black diamond and red heart to fit with the Jester theme. I also decided to drop the belts and gear from Deadpool's look since I preferred a more streamlined look for the Jester.
