Alias: Wade Wilson
Debut: The New Mutants #98 (1991)
Affiliation: Antihero
Another mutant on our list, Deadpool might not have a truly original origin story, he might not even be truly original himself (he’s a rip-off of DC’s Deathstroke with elements from other Marvel characters), but he is absolutely awesome and there is no comic book fan that can say he dislikes Deadpool. Wade Wilson is a character that broke and keeps breaking a lot of comic book traditions, which is why his stories are such a beautiful, chaotic mess. He is aware of his nature as a comic book character and he does all he can to profit from that fact, often breaking the fourth wall and even the general structure of a comic book. Oh, he also killed everyone in the Marvel Universe once, when he went nuts, before ultimately being killed by… well, himself. Deadpool absolutely had to be on this list and here he is!
Welcome to discuss the world of these superheroes!
