Offline missions. Conducting research as a base for writing the descriptions. Examples from the published game and DLCs: 




(Don’t) Eat the Rich


Description

"Mr. Brock, I'm speaking on behalf of the Life Foundation. I'm certain you remember us. We're hoping to retain your services. We offer our members exclusive access to life-saving bomb shelters, where they can wait out the latest catastrophe in style. Unfortunately, one of these catastrophes has found its way in and is feasting on our guests. Legally, we need them alive to pay their bill."

Operation Results

Eddie has never seen such a luxurious bomb shelter; too bad it was also a death trap for all the rich folks trying to avoid an apocalypse only to find out it does home delivery. Vampyres were hunting in style between crystal-encrusted jacuzzis and trays of caviar canapes. When Venom was done, no chandelier was left whole, but also no vampyre. The shelters were cleared.

Everything Is (Not) Okay


Description

Just received a message from Ms. Marvel: "no big deal or anything, but GIANT MECHS ARE APPROACHING NEW JERSEY." Unlike what the message says, it's probably a big deal. We should send a hero.

Operation Results

[Assigned Hero] and Ms. Marvel engaged in epic mech battles, taking down the mechs one by one, but new ones kept coming in their place. Finally, before they exhausted themselves completely, [Assigned Hero] spotted the real culprit -- Emulator. She's been working with Hydra and was emulating the mechs for them but had her own reason for the attack. When she spotted Ms. Marvel, she exclaimed: "You! You took Kaboom from me, my only friend, I wanted YOU to pay". "Now they can be BFFs in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s jail," concluded Ms. Marvel.


Aren't They Just Adorable


Description

"Hey, it's Jones, Jessica. I've got a weird one for ya. Some guy hired me to find his crazy cat lady sister. I found her alright, but she upgraded from cats to those Hemaliscs I've heard about so I'm gonna need some backup."

Operation Results

The sister refused to leave, "They need my love. They have no one," she said as she cocked her shotgun. "Hey, listen, lady, we’re getting you outta here." The sister was very trigger-happy, and the second [Assigned Hero] made a move, she squeezed and bang! [Assigned Hero] deflected the first shot without a problem. Jones twisted the barrel so there wouldn’t be a second and got the sister out, leaving the fun part, squashing hemaliscs, to [Assigned Hero].


A Midnight Human Snack


Description

We got a peculiar message for Wade from someone calling himself "Dirty Larry from Dirty Larry's food truck, C in Sanitary, A+ in Flavor": "Yo Deadpool, I need you, man. My patrons are going after each other! With their teeth!" Deadpool's immediate response was, "Those poor defenseless sweet things need our help! No, not the people, the chimichangas!"

Operation Results

Vampyres on a human-feeding frenzy pose little challenge for Deadpool when culinary items are at risk. "If a person can't have a midnight intestine-vaporizing snack without turning into a snack themselves, then what are we fighting for?" Deadpool concluded.


Playing with Firearms


Description

"Hey Wade, wanna see something cool?" I analyzed the source of this message, and it comes from someone flagged as an arms dealer named "Weasel." Deadpool says he knows him, so (as much as I hope we're not breaking some international law by saying this) he should go see what "Weasel" wants.

Operation Results

Wade reported on his encounter with Weasel: "I was like a kid in a candy store of over-the-top catastrophically loud and deadly candies. The Daylight Bazooka, Garlic Grenade Launcher, and Good Morning Sunshine ATGM were my top and the vampyre's bottom." Satellite footage shows that all of Weasel's weapons failed in epic fashion, and that's putting it nicely. Wade lost most of his limbs by weapon three. Around weapon six, nothing was left of him but an eyeball using its optic nerve to pull the trigger. Only one vampyre was harmed and got what appears to be a scratch the size of a paper cut.


Take Your Jelby to Work Day


Description
"It's me, I mean, it's me, Jelby, and I'm here, I mean, in New York, because of the Monster Island field trip, right? The Natural History Museum was really cool, and we were about to get ice cream, but then we saw this sick grey guy attacking this other normal-looking guy, and I... dunno. So I called Mister Deadpool, and he told me to call you. What do you think is happening?" My vote is on vampyres, and I'm also voting we send someone to help Jelby out.

Operation Results
Jelby and [Assigned Hero] followed the Vampyre's trail to a shipyard where dozens upon dozens of ready-to-burst Hemaliscs were waiting for them. The rest of Jelby's report goes like this: "then we got ice cream. Oh yeah, [Assigned Hero] helped me absorb all of the vampyre Hemaliscs eggs. Then we got ice cream and waited for sunrise when I let all the Hemaliscs out, and they boomed and tsssed. That's good, right?"
