What were the intentions of the people in charge of the experiment?


Were they really trying to cure him of cancer?

It's like you didn't even watch the movie.

They were trying to make him into a super-soldier, who could be sold to dictators or terrorists and used as an extremely dangerous slave.

Any other questions?

Francis mentions making them into "super slaves". Under the guise of curing Wade's cancer he was trying to give him powers so he could see him to someone that would use him as a weapon or for whatever other needs they have. I haven't seen it in a couple years, but I remember Francis outlining it pretty clearly.

The intention was to be able to find people that had a potential to be mutants. They found people who were desperate enough to allow anything to be done to them in the hope curing what ever ailed them If the torture activated a mutant gene the experiement was a success. If it didn ot then the person died and it did not matter.

reply

I have to assume that the people who didn't mutate under torture were just tortured until they died. Tough luck, non-mutants, but at least the disease that made you desperate enough to sign up for the torture didn't kill you!

The weird thing is that the procedure really DID cure his cancer! And that nobody involved in the nefarious torture realized that there's a lot more money to be made by curing cancer, than in selling mutant slaves.

No it didn't. But his healing factor is, well healing him.
