Despite largely being considered an X-Men character in his early years, when Deadpool landed his first ongoing series, writer Joe Kelly send him careering headlong into the rest of the Marvel Universe. Having just crossed paths with Alpha Flight's Sasquatch as well as the incredible Hulk, Deadpool's budding 'relationship' with Siryn of X-Force would come under threat with the arrival of one of Daredevil's femme fatales, the psychotic Typhoid Mary. Of course, it wouldn't be long before the Man Without Fear himself would also show up...
The Daredevil/Deadpool team-up annual would inspire Marvel to release a whole slew of team-up annuals the following year. The 1998 annuals were a bit hit or miss, but they were a great opportunity to see some team-ups between some characters you wouldn't normally see together.

- THE CORPORATION - First appearance of the Vamp/Animus
On a high after finding out Siryn is warming to him, Deadpool takes a job breaking a woman called Mary Walker out of a psychiatric ward. His mission is opposed by former SHIELD agent, the Vamp (apparently having survived her encounter with the Scourge during SCOURGE OF THE UNDERWORLD), who transforms from her shapely female body into the form of the gigantic-headed, psychic, furry, male Animus. Deadpool's pal Weasel drive a car into the Animus' face. Deadpool and Weasel take Mary back to their hotel where her Typhoid Mary persona emerges..
Deadpool #-1
Deadpool #-1
Let's jump back to a time before when Deadpool, he was just known as Wade Wilson - still a mercenary, but without the snappy patter and spandex. Looking for promotion at Landau, Luckman & Lake, young Zoe Culloden goes undercover to help Wilson become the man he's meant to be, even though this means ruining his life. Wade discovers he has cancer, breaks up with his girlfriend Vanessa Carlysle to protect her from what's happening to him and joins the Weapon X program.
Deadpool #7
Deadpool takes the aggressive Typhoid Mary back to Hellhouse where he and his fellow mercenaries meet up and take jobs. T-Ray recognises Typhoid and warns Deadpool that she's beyond help, then T-Ray burns Deadpool's mask off, showing everyone his face. While freaking out and getting beaten up by bunny girls, Deadpool lashes out and accidentally kicks Typhoid out of a window. This triggers her lost memories and prompts her to head back to New York and kill Daredevil.
Daredevil hears about Typhoid's escape and searches New York for her. Unaware of this, Deadpool kidnaps Foggy Nelson to get Daredevil's attention, leaving Foggy to play poker with Weasel. Daredevil and Deadpool soon come to blows before joining forces to defeat Typhoid together. Unaware of Deadpool's true motivations, Daredevil lets him take Typhoid back to the psychiatric hospital. Foggy is released after losing his dog Deuce to Weasel.
Deadpool gives Deuce to his permanent house-guest, Blind Al, despite her hates him. Deadpool persists in trying to help Typhoid Mary who convinces him he's fallen for him so he'll free her. Typhoid immediately escapes and leaves a trail of bodies for Deadpool to follow. She leads him to a bar and taunts him, telling him he doesn't have what it takes to be a hero, no matter how hard he tries. He beats Typhoid out of pure rage, sickening the patrons and amusing Typhoid. Realising she may be right, Deadpool walks away...
