Throughout the movie we see Wade go around killing several dangerous crime bosses and eventually Kraven the Hunter who after getting the super soldier serum during Avengers: War on Doom and Avengers: Fall of the King is also somewhat immortal is hired to take Wade down by a man named Ajax. Wade is beaten in his first fight with Kraven and has to team up with former X-Men Colossus and Squirrel Girl. The movie climaxes as the three of them fight Kraven and nearly lose but... Hold on let me tell the story for a bit. Hi I'm Deadpool, and I'm going to tell you the rest of this story. Anyway I was so close to losing but earlier I managed to swag a little serum that could've turned me back to normal but I did the right thing and used it to take away Kraven's powers... and then I killed him. Alright guys this has been your friendly neighborhood Ryan Gosling and just remember kids if the nice man on Youtube tells you to eat lysol wipes... Do it.
