It should come as no surprise that Deadpool’s movie career mirrored that of comics. What followed was another miniseries, and in 1997, his own ongoing title. It took only two years for Wade to get his own mini-series, penned by his original writer, Fabian Nicieza. It’s given him one of the most loyal and vocal fanbases in comics.Ĭomic book fans began clamoring for more Deadpool appearances. From his very first appearance, his knack for humor - even in the grimmest of circumstances - endeared him to readers. To begin with, he was never meant to be much more than a parody, a disposable character used as a plot point. His path has taken him through one violent clash after another, and the fact that he’s still around after having suffered multiple deaths speaks volumes. In typical Deadpool fashion, nothing has come easy for the anti-hero-for-hire. ![]() Deadpool has come into his own, leaving behind those dated (but originally quite fair) comparisons. You’re unlikely to witness Deathstroke using humor to distract his opponents, but you can’t read a Deadpool comic without Wade Wilson cracking a joke (or a skull). Most significant is Deadpool’s killer sense of humor. With each appearance Deadpool became less villainous and more heroic - the same can’t be said for Deathstroke (well, until recently). ![]() While similarities between Deadpool and Deathstroke were obvious from the onset of Wade Wilson’s mercenary career, it didn’t take long for Deadpool to forge his own path. Loving Deathstroke, he created Deadpool as an homage to the character and artist George Perez. Deadpool’s co-creator, Rob Liefeld, grew up reading the Teen Titans. ![]() Deathstroke’s alter ego is Slade Wilson, and if you’re reading this list, you’re familiar with Deadpool’s real name (also Wilson for the newbs). Their fighting skills are equally incredible, and both sport a trademark combo of sword and guns. Deadpool’s first mission is to kill Cable and the X-Force, and Deathstroke’s goal is to eliminate the Titans. Deathstroke wears a black and orange suit of full body armor, while Deadpool sports a red and black version. The similarities don’t end at their mercenary pasts, though. even by his definition of crazy, Deadpool’s strange adventures have taken him to new territory, which we are now going to explore together! Here is the CBR rundown of the 20 weirdest things about the loveable crackpot!ĭeadpool is basically Deathstroke the Terminator, a Teen Titans villain who’s known as the greatest contract killer in the DC Universe. Through it all, he’s maintained a flair for the absurd that fans have come to love. ![]() Over the years Deadpool has gone through more harrowing adventures than a hero has any right to survive. As far as comic book fans go, he’s pretty much got it all: an endless cache of guns and ammo, top-notch fighting skills, a cool costume, a winning devil-may-care attitude, and a willingness to do just about anything (and we mean anything) to get the job done. Since his 1991 premiere in the pages of Rob Liedfeld’s X-Force, our favorite mouthy mercenary has blurred the lines between humor, action, comedy - and let’s face it - good taste. After all, isn’t that the reason he’s also become one of the most beloved creations at Marvel, with a second major motion picture set for release? Comic book fans have always had a fondness for anti-heroes like Wolverine and the Punisher, and Deadpool is no exception. It’s no secret that Deadpool is more than a little unorthodox.
