As a gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in the Marvel universe, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia when it comes to Deadpool and his beloved chimichangas. However, upon discovering that the chimichanga connection was actually a tribute to the late, great Mark Gruenwald, my perspective has shifted.
Winnie the Pooh is fond of honey, Homer Simpson has a soft spot for donuts, and it was once thought that Deadpool had a thing for chimichangas. However, contrary to popular belief, Deadpool actually doesn’t enjoy chimichangas. This information was recently shared by Fabian Nicieza, one of Deadpool’s creators. Despite this revelation, the term ‘chimichanga’ still holds some significance.
On his former account (previously Twitter), comic book author Fabian Nicieza discussed the origin of Deadpool’s connection to the chimichanga, a food he constantly mentions. According to him, this dislike is first hinted at in print when he introduced the chimichanga joke. Deadpool enjoys saying “chimichanga” not because he likes it, but because Nicieza knew it would make Mark Gruenwald laugh. For those unaware, Gruenwald was a renowned comic book creator, much like Deadpool in his vibrant spirit, and possibly someone Deadpool would have gotten along with had he been real.
Deadpool’s chimichanga connection is a tribute to a comic book legend
Fabian Nicieza honored his dear friend Mark Gruenwald with a platter of chimichangas after Gruenwald passed away due to a heart attack in 1996. Starting at Marvel Comics in 1978, Gruenwald oversaw titles such as “Captain America,” “What If,” “Iron Man,” and “Thor.” In fact, Gruenwald’s significant impact on Steve Rogers extended to owning a replica of Captain America’s shield, the same star-studded frisbee that now belongs to Stephen Colbert.
After that, Gruenwald held the position of executive editor at Marvel until his demise in 1996. This unexpected event left many who knew him deeply saddened; due to his playful nature, some even thought it was a prank, reminiscent of Deadpool’s humor. As artist and friend Eliot R. Brown stated, “He had an affinity for whoopee cushions. He should have launched his own brand. He frequently lamented about not being able to find ‘quality ones.’
Despite his passing, the powerful influence of one of Marvel’s cherished creators is still evident and serves as a lasting tribute to the ongoing Deadpool joke. In issue #13 of “Cable and Deadpool” from 2005, Wade Wilson admitted his preference for enchiladas over chimichangas, a detail that undoubtedly would have amused our late colleague just as much.
