Who is Dr. Killebrew?

Killebrew was a scientist who ran a hospice that was supposed to take care of failed experiments from the Weapon X program until they died. Along with his assistant, the Attending , Killebrew constantly experimented, and thereby tormented, countless people who had been deemed failures and sent to his hospice. Many of his own experiments would prove fatal to his subjects. Wade Wilson, the man who would become Deadpool , was one of his favorite subjects, as he was considerably difficult to kill. Fed up with Deadpool's disrespect, the Attending managed to arrange it so that Killebrew would have to kill Wade for disobedience. However, Wade's healing factor finally fully activated when he nearly died, and so he was able to kill the Attending and escape the hospice with his fellow prisoners. Killebrew however, managed to escape the carnage. Killebrew would later work at a Weapon X facility where he was supposed to help a dying Black Tom , but before Killebrew could begin, Cain Marko (the Juggernaut) came to rescue his friend Tom, and ended up taking Killebrew with him as well so that he could continue to find a way to help him.
