Spotlight on Fandoms: Deadpool
Deadpool, the Merc with the Mouth.
Not Dirty.
The wise cracking killer for hire with the rejected Spiderman costume. Isn't he a peach?
He had his own series way back when and I would recommend you all buying it, but the bastards at Marvel aren't making them into TPBs which means you would have to hunt down each individual issue, of which there were sixty plus.
So here's a quick recap instead: Meet Deadpool, the adorable and fun mercenary who happens to be the saviour of the world. Well, according to some interdimensional law firm called Landau, Luckman and Lake and we all trust shady law firms, right?
Right.
So there's this alien menace, but not in that Phantom Anakin weetiny lad kind of way, in that taking over the universe and turning people into mind controlled zombies way and Deadpool is the only one who can stop them as he is the Mithras. According to some weird prophecy.
But wait! There's still more! L,L&L don't trust him because he's, well mental unstable. Which is a good reason, really it is, but kinda dooming the universe there. Instead, they picked the one, the only, Captain America! It ends badly as he's not the prophesied one and he becomes the mouthpiece for the eeeevil alien menace. Luckily, Deadpool pops up to save the day with a game of rochambeau.
For the uninformed, that would just be him kicking Captain America in the groin as hard as he could.
*cough*
Moving on!
There's learning that Loki's his dad, then that he's not, then that his dad is alive, then that his dad died in a bar fight when he was a teen... It's like a soap opera with guns, really.
A man named T-Ray, or is he the real Wade Wilson? He certainly claims to be. He brings back his dead wife, who thinks she's Deadpool's wife by the way, to torture him with. Logic? Not so much with the logic.
He dies. Twice. But this is Marvel and everyone but Cassie's dad comes back to life within a year of dying.
The second time ended his series which was depressing for fans, who forgot this was Marvel and quickly got to know someone who could be Deadpool. Scars, internal monologue, same fighting style, random pop culture quips... could it really be?
No. No it could not. That would be Deadpool Lite. Same great Deadpool taste, half the great Deadpool action.: Agent X aka Alex Hayden. He's what happens when two mercenaries hate each other very much and die in a horrible explosion, merging their abilities into the corpse of a random minion.
Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
Then there was Cable & Deadpool, the odd couple of the Marvel Universe. One's a time traveling Christ figure from the future, the other is a quirky killer for hire with issues with impulse control and guns. Together they fight crime!
Or try to save the world. Depending on what day of the week it is.
This I can pimp:
Cable & Deadpool Vol. 1: If Looks Could Kill
Cable & Deadpool Vol. 2: The Burnt Offering
Cable & Deadpool Volume 3: The Human Race
Cable & Deadpool Volume 4: Bosom Buddies
Cable & Deadpool Volume 5: Living Legends
Cable & Deadpool Volume 6: Paved With Good Intentions
Cable & Deadpool Volume 7: Separation Anxiety
I do this even though it is, in fact, quite hard out here for a pimp.
Buy them, read them, love them. For realz.
