After thinking about it, I'm not liking how Deadpool Season 1 is turning out and I'd like to re-work the plot into something different. I want the new plot to be an adaptation of the arc Dead Presidents. for this season to have the Morlocks be minor antagonists.

Here's my pitch:

Deadpool after escaping the Essex Corps spends his days living in Toronto doing odd jobs to keep himself occupied with his friend Weasel. One day though he learns that a bunch of deceased Presidents have been resurrected and are terrorizing the United States. Being a Canadian and not having anything else to do, Deadpool decides it would be fun to stop them.

The main villain of the story would be Michael Hawthrone, who I pictured as being an amalgamation between Necromancer and Madcap, and instead of working for S.H.I.E.L.D. he could be an ex-employee of Landau, Luckman, and Lake. A shady organization that's somehow involved in the resurrection of the Presidents in addition to some other stuff Deadpool will uncover.

There would also be a sub plot about the Morlocks being an underground counter culture that's been slowly growing all over the country to act as a sort of antithesis to the Presidents, but in spite of that still an enemy to Deadpool and his friends.

Between the Presidents, Morlocks, LLL, flashbacks explaining Deadpool's life before Essex, and him assembling his team, that's pretty much a whole season's worth of content right there.

I plan on trying to do about 8-10 episodes depending on how the story goes
