Francis Freeman (also known asAjax) is asupervillain appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. Created by writerJoe Kelly and artistWalter A. McDaniel, the character first appeared inDeadpool #14 (March 1998).
Francis Freeman is the former enforcer atEmrys Killebrew's laboratory, known as the Workshop. He possesses enhanced strength and intuitive capability, as well assubcutaneous implants that give him superhuman speed and agility.[1]
Having grown annoyed with his test subjectWade Wilson, Killebrew allows Freeman to kill him. Freeman removes Wilson's heart, but his healing factor activates and regenerates his heart. The entire series of events costs Wilson his sanity. As Deadpool, he hunts down and seemingly kills Freeman.[1]
Freeman resurfaces years later using the codename of Ajax. He hunts down and kills many of the surviving members of Weapon X to exact his revenge on Deadpool. Ajax punches Deadpool off a cliff, but he survives.[2] Deadpool has Ajax plunge them both into a lake, short-circuiting his armor and enabling Deadpool to kill him by snapping his neck.[3]
Blackheart later releases Ajax fromHell in an attempt to prevent Deadpool andThanos from meddling in his plot to overthrowMephisto. Ajax, now calling himself Abyss Man, locates and attempts to kill the pair, but the duo subdue him and turn him into a gateway to Hell with the help ofBlack Talon.[4]
Francis has enhanced strength and intuitive capacity, as a result of genetic modifications by Killebrew. After receiving implants, he gained superhuman speed and agility. His nerves were also removed to increase his tolerance for pain.[1]
