These moments from “Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe” and “Deadpool Team-Up” showcase the darker and more violent side of Deadpool that might not be suitable for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the former, Deadpool kills Luke Cage in a particularly gruesome way by planting bombs inside his body. In the latter, Deadpool willingly becomes Galactus’ herald, delighting in helping him find planets to devour and sentencing countless innocent creatures to death. These moments highlight Deadpool’s ruthless nature and willingness to go to extreme lengths to achieve his goals, even if it means causing massive destruction and loss of life.
In the upcoming film “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Wade Wilson, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds, is set to make his entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This means that the notoriously unconventional antihero will now share the same universe as iconic characters such as the Avengers, Daredevil, Spider-Man, and more.
In short, the threequel doesn’t appear to be holding back at all.
As a die-hard fan of the Deadpool and Wolverine saga, I can’t help but acknowledge the undeniable allure of their R-rated exploits. However, there are certain scenes from the comics that might be too dark for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to adapt. For instance, Deadpool’s brutal treatment of his dear friend is one such moment that could potentially cross a line. Moreover, ordering the death of a beloved hero at the behest of one of his idols is another instance that pushes the boundaries of what we’ve seen in MCU movies. Lastly, collaborating with Galactus to satiate his insatiable hunger is yet another example of Wade Wilson’s darker side that may never grace our screens in live-action form.
Deadpool’s early treatment of Blind Al was abhorrent
In the “Deadpool” live-action series, Blind Al, portrayed by Leslie Uggams, is a dear friend and confidant to Wade Wilson. Their scenes together are often entertaining due to Al’s elderly charisma contrasting with Deadpool’s crass humor. However, in the comics, Deadpool’s behavior towards Blind Al instills genuine fear in her character, justifiably so.
In “Deadpool” #14, the narrative begins with a chilling start as Weasel stumbles upon Deadpool’s Box, a hideous chamber housing Blind Al as a captive. With a haunted expression, Blind Al reveals to Weasel that they are both unlucky prisoners of Deadpool. She discloses her lengthy confinement within the dreadful cell. When Weasel probes for further details regarding their shared imprisonment, he uncovers an astonishing revelation: Deadpool leaves the Box’s door ajar, enabling Blind Al to flee whenever she wishes. Nevertheless, the fear of Deadpool’s retaliation keeps her from escaping. She is convinced that she faces a greater risk of perishing outside the deadly chamber.
In simpler terms, there’s nothing justifying Deadpool’s action of imprisoning Blind Al and Weasel in the hellish Box beyond his own twisted motivations. This depiction of Deadpool as a true antagonist underscores his capacity for monstrous behavior towards those closest to him. Later portrayals of Deadpool have leaned towards comedy to soften his image, but this version is undeniably malevolent.
Deadpool kills an innocent life to save another
In the comic book “Despicable Deadpool” issue 295 by Gerry Duggan, Scott Koblish, Ruth Redmond, and Joe Sabino, Deadpool is faced with a heart-wrenching decision: sacrifice an innocent woman to save his daughter from certain death. This grim act of protection underscores the depths of his love and the extent of his ruthless actions.
In the comic, Stryfe (Nathan Summers) makes a deal with Deadpool: in return for Wade eliminating a random woman named Marietta Nelson, Stryfe will spare Deadpool’s daughter, Ellie, from harm. Deadpool breaks into Marietta’s bedroom, startling her awake. He expresses his reluctance to take her life but feels compelled to comply with the agreement. A terrified Marietta inquires about the pain she’ll endure before her demise, and Deadpool sadly discloses that he has already injected her with a lethal poison. As tears stream down her face, Marietta succumbs to the toxin.
In this scenario, Deadpool finds himself in a heart-wrenching predicament where he must choose to take a life to protect his daughter’s wellbeing. Ordinarily, the mercenary known as Deadpool has no qualms about ending lives during his line of work. However, he feels compelled to eliminate Marietta under desperate circumstances, fearing that Stryfe would seize Ellie if given the chance. This decision causes internal turmoil for Deadpool as he grapples with the knowledge that his actions are morally questionable but seemingly necessary. It’s an unfamiliar and complex situation that may not translate easily to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Killed Agent Coulson believing he was the enemy
In the Marvel Comics saga “Secret Empire,” Deadpool is given an opportunity to team up with his long-admired hero, Captain America. Excited at the prospect of fighting alongside his idol, Deadpool joins Cap on a covert assignment. Unfortunately, this supposed hero turns out to be a Nazi duplicate of Captain America who manipulates Wade Wilson for his own nefarious purposes.
In issue #31 of “Deadpool” penned by Gerry Duggan, Matteo Lolli, Christian Dalla Vecchia, Ruth Redmond, and VC’s Joe Sabino, the anti-hero Deadpool receives a command from an evil duplicate of Captain America to locate Agent Coulson. Unaware that Coulson has uncovered Rogers’ secret identity, Deadpool destroys his S.H.I.E.L.D. operative’s flying vehicle and pursues him relentlessly. Alas, Deadpool manages to overtake Coulson, shoots him dead, and unwittingly brings about the demise of an unsuspecting hero through his unwavering allegiance to Captain America.
The demise of Coulson had profound consequences beyond just S.H.I.E.L.D., altering his character’s path significantly. Post his assassination, Coulson was resurrected under the influence of Mephisto and became an integral part of Marvel’s most renowned devil’s schemes. In this alternate reality, the Squadron Supreme reigned supreme, with Coulson assuming the role of President of the United States. However, this reality disintegrated when Coulson met his end once more. More recently in “Infinity Watch,” Coulson has been brought back to life yet again, but this time through the Death Stone. Despite the existence of the Stones within the MCU, this intricate and somber narrative may be too complex for Marvel Studios to adapt.
Deadpool kills Luke Cage… from the inside
In an intriguing twist, “Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe” (authored by Cullen Bunn, illustrated by Dalibor Talajic, Lee Loughridge, and Joe Sabino) seems to have influenced “Deadpool vs. Wolverine,” as both works depict Deadpool and Wolverine annihilating the Fox Universe. However, what sets “Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe” apart is its graphic portrayal of violent acts. For instance, Deadpool executes Spider-Man with a chilling point-blank shot to the head. Yet, none of these scenes can compare to the disturbingly creative method Deadpool employs to eliminate Luke Cage.
In the comic book “Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe” issue 2, Deadpool sets out on a mission to eliminate every hero in the Marvel Universe. This brings him into confrontation with the Avengers. To carry out his plan, Deadpool uses Pym Particles to make explosives undetectable and sneaks them into Avengers Tower. By doing so, he manages to kill major heroes such as Captain America, Iron Man, and Hawkeye. However, Luke Cage makes it through the explosion unscathed due to his impervious skin.
Wade anticipated several formidable adversaries surviving the initial explosion, thus as Cage draws near him, Deadpool unveils that he concealed a few shrunken bombs within the Avenger’s beverage. Shock spreads across Cage’s face as detonations commence inside his physique, resulting in his demise as smoke escapes from his nostrils, orifice, and ears. This method of eliminating Cage is both ingenious and terrifying, demonstrating Deadpool’s meticulous planning to eliminate any obstacle in his path, even someone with near-invincibility. This scenario holds more appeal for “The Boys” television series rather than the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He served Galactus in his quest for hunger
Deadpool has a long history of teaming up with formidable heroes and cosmic beings. Notably, the “Deadpool Team-Up” series from 2010 showcased alliances with Iron Fist, The Watcher, and Thor. However, it’s Deadpool’s collaboration with Galactus that brings about one of his most amusing and unsettling episodes.
In “Deadpool Team-Up” #883, written by Skottie Young, illustrated by Ramon Perez, Andres Mossa, and Jeff Eckleberry, Deadpool responds to a job advertisement that unexpectedly leads him to Galactus, who requires a new herald. Initially skeptical about his suitability for the role and Galactus’ insatiable appetite, the latter grants Deadpool the Power Cosmic, transforming the anti-hero into his cosmic servant. Delighted by the prospect of discovering planets for Galactus to consume, Deadpool makes a lively and ominous announcement to an alien civilization resembling Pikachu that their world will be eaten “shortly,” displaying no qualms about the mass extinction of countless lives under his command. As he continues to aid Galactus, eradicating more planets and their inhabitants, Deadpool eventually draws the wrath of the Devourer of Worlds due to his irrepressible mouth, resulting in him losing the position.
Though Deadpool’s actions in the comic are meant to elicit laughter, his role in sending thousands of innocent beings to their demise at Galactus’ hands, despite being for cosmic balance, is one of his most despicable deeds. This is a major source of guilt for Silver Surfer, who unwillingly serves as Galactus’ Herald. In stark contrast, Deadpool remains unmoved by the deaths he has contributed to, casually observing Galactus’ feeding frenzy without a second thought.
