[2][3] The one-shot was released in print format a week later and, starting in the same month, he was featured in a three-issue story arc in Deadpool #19-21.

[7][8][9][10] An unnamed assassin blows up a squad of enemy soldiers as part of a failed political coup.

Marked for death, after four days of fleeing for his life he passes out in the snow and is rescued by a troop of Japanese macaques.

Furious at his clan's slaughter, the monkey picks up extra guns from a bag and kills the entire group of men.

Determined to avenge his fallen tribe, the monkey now dedicates his life to killing assassins - under the alias of Hit-Monkey.

Deadpool claims he has an alibi, and after examining the crime scene, says that only one assassin could have pulled off the job so flawlessly: Hit-Monkey.

Deadpool doesn't care and pulls the trigger, seemingly killing Hit-Monkey but surviving due to his healing factor.

[18] Hit-Monkey possesses the normal attributes of a Japanese macaque, which includes superhuman agility and reflexes.
