My Account. My account Personal information Order history. Customer Service. We're here to give you a lowdown on the newest Marvel Comics superhero, under the 20th Century Fox flagship, to hit theaters.
Grab onto your chimichangas and prepare for a wild ride. A trigger-happy mercenary highly trained in martial arts and swordsmanship, Deadpool -- real name Wade Wilson -- was given accelerated healing powers making him essentially immortal through the Weapon X program.
Because Deadpool was diagnosed with cancer at the time of the Weapon X experiment, his cancerous cells regenerate just as rapidly as his normal cells, making his entire body look heavily scarred and possibly wreaking havoc on his brain chemistry.
Hence the full face mask. And the ability to casually walk away from being decapitated. In other words, Deadpool became something of a murderous Robin Williams. Wade goes to the lair of the Taskmaster, a villain who can mimic the fighting style of anyone he confronts. But Wade interrupts him.
Wade launches into a classic Deadpool monologue, kicking and punching intermittently throughout:. It was rarely a financial hit, perpetually running into the threat of cancellation. But in hindsight, what it lacked in sales, it more than made up for in mythos- and character-building.
Kelly also wrote what is near-universally regarded as one of the best Deadpool stories of all time, and, indeed, one of the best superhero comics tales of the s: Deadpool No. The resulting tale cemented another essential aspect of Deadpool: commentary on superhero tropes. His name was Christopher Priest , and right off the bat, he decided Deadpool was going to be a comic-book character who was actually aware he was in a comic book.
There is a man. At a typewriter. This is all his twisted imagination. This kind of storytelling tactic in a mainstream superhero comic was unusual. But it has since become de rigueur for Deadpool, and anyone who watches the movie will experience it right away.
If you go down the checklist of core Deadpool characteristics — man-child humor, clever satire, brutal violence, wacky supporting cast — they were more or less in place by the time Priest departed the series in By then, for all its stylistic virtues, it was something of a financial basket case. The series puttered along for years, with its monthly circulation at comics shops dwindling to a dismal 24,copy range in mid For comparison: The top-rated X-Men series of the era was shipping about , copies a month.
There was a ray of hope in , when an untested young writer named Gail Simone was brought on to take a stab at the ailing series. The results were as funny and hyperactive as the heights of the Kelly run. And yet, as is always true with Wade Wilson, no good deed goes unpunished.
A few factors might have been at play. Marvel was in a period of transition, trying out new things with X-Men-related series, of which Deadpool was one. Neither Liefeld nor Marvel responded to requests for comment on the matter. No matter the reasons, Agent X only temporarily juiced sales. Simone says a new editor on the book clashed with her over her comedy writing, and she left after issue 7. After her departure, the series went back into the 24,a-month range and ended after issue Wade made an appearance in the final few installments, but the damage to the brand had been done.
Marvel shuttered the series, and with it, any ongoing solo adventures of Deadpool. Though it delivered plenty of wild Wade action, it never became a hit, and consistently charted near the bottom of the top comics on any given month. No one could have predicted that the superhero world was, in fact, on the verge of total Deadpool-mania.
Way was in his mids and had been writing for Marvel since the early s, and in that time, he and a hotshot Marvel editor named Axel Alonso had often discussed characters they thought were underappreciated by the market. One who always came up was Deadpool. It was a surprise smash when it debuted in The first issue placed 17th on the charts for the month, sold out, and went to a second printing. Then the third issue sold out and needed a new printing, too. And the 11th issue. Average sales in the first year were 55, issues a month — bigger numbers than anything Deadpool-related had seen in years.
It was flying off the shelves. Something had changed. So how does a superhero known as the merc-with-a-mouth get his kisser taken away? In the world of merchandising, every Marvel property has a world of collectible figures, T-shirts, trinkets and paraphernalia. Deadpool is no exception, with everything from bedsheets to underwear and socks. Suffering from superhero envy, Deadpool has embraced the notion of his popularity, taking it to new dimension within his comic book.
Yet Wade Wilson idolizes the star-spangled Avenger. As far as Wade is concerned, the man can do no wrong. Captain America's influence on Deadpool has worked on more than one occasion Marvel recently revealed that its ultimate icon, Captain America, was an agent of Hydra -- a crazed organization bent on world domination. How did that happen? Suffice it to say that Steve Rogers used it to his advantage. When Deadpool learned he was being used, he sought revenge. Yes, you read that right.
Deadpool was an Avenger. The offer came at a time when the Marvel Universe was in turmoil, as it usually is, and the Avengers Unity Team was born. It was a noble effort to show that mutants, Inhumans and humans could get along. Since the world looks up to the Avengers, it seemed like a good idea to assemble a team with a diverse cast of heroes. Though the intention was unquestionably noble, better candidates could have joined, preventing the in-fighting that ensued.
At first glance the unlikely pair have a lot in common. They share a love of full-body suits. Once you scratch the surface, however, the similarities quickly fade. If you happen to believe that opposites attract, then the pair are a match made in comic book heaven. Like most unusual pairings, nothing comes easy for Spideypool. That alone should be cause for the duo never to hang out. They certainly have all the makings of a great romantic pairing, sometimes sounding like Han Solo and Princess Leia.
Determined to have his revenge against his nemeses, he injects a willing patient with genes from both Spidey and Deadpool.
The result is paradoxically perfect. Armed with a vicious sense of humor and a set of deadly spider powers, Itsy Bitsy turns on her creator, deciding she wants to fight crime with her daddies. The perfectly heroic thing to do at this point would be for Spider-Man and Deadpool to take Itsy Bitsy under their wing. In the world of mercenaries and contract killers, rubbing shoulders with Captain America and Spider-Man makes zero sense.
If you look close enough, the facts speak for themselves. He hopes to guide the kid away from his villainous destiny, even when his teammates are willing to kill. Deadpool has sacrificed himself for the sake of his teammates when he joined X-Force, a reborn team whose mandate was completing the mission at all costs.
