Cinematic fates that the comics suggest await Wade Wilson in his MCU future

- KAMBOLE CAMPBELL

HE’LL BECOME SPIDEY’S BFF! SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL #12 (2016)

Writer Joe Kelly’s return to Deadpool saw the hero basically harassing Spider-man into a friendship, the pair ultimately buying each other matching Bad Boys II Christmas jumpers.

HE’LL GET INSULTED BY HAWKEYE!

For once Deadpool is taking the flak as Kate Bishop — the other Hawkeye, to be introduced in the upcoming Disney+ series — ‘compliment­s’ Wade on his great “Freddy Kruger” (sic) Halloween make-up.

HE’LL LIFT THOR’S HAMMER! DEADPOOL #37 (2000)

Recruited to save Thor, Deadpool somehow picks up the Avenger’s famous hammer. Turns out it’s all a trick by Loki.

HE’LL TEAM UP WITH CAPTAIN AMERICA! DEADPOOL VOL 3 #15-19 (2013)

That rare beast — a sombre Deadpool story — sees Captain America recruit Wade to help investigat­e the mysterious harvesting of Wade’s own organs.

HE’LL KILL LITERALLY EVERYONE! DEADPOOL KILLS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE #1-4 (2012)

While Thanos didn’t manage it in the end, Deadpool murders literally everybody in the Marvel Universe — a grim decision to free everyone from endless comic book continuity. Could this be how the MCU ends? (Probably not.)
