Deadpool has to be one of the most outragous and hilarious charecters in Marvel Comic's possesion. ALthough starting out as somewhat of a more serious charecter in X-Force (#2 I believe), he has since developed into a smartass mercanary that also has something to say. He spews more banter in battle than a politican does in their speeches. He also fancies himself a ladies man, although because of his apperance due to the healing factor he got from Weapon X project, his face lacks much to be desired. Still he hides it behind a bravo of pickup lines and one-liners. Check this out from his first mini-series By Mark Waid and Ian Churchill.



Just too funny. Everything he says is like that. It's like having a sideshow comedian in your presence at all times. And this is not to say that Deadpool is never serious. There are many things that he takes quite seriously. Like hiding his apperance behind a mask or image inducer. Although I cannot recall for some reason his face came back to him by the time Deadpool changed to Agent X. I believe it had something to do with the "Funeral For A Freak" storyline in Deadpool's ongoing series. Which is memory serves was around isssue #58-63 or somewhere in that neighborhood.

In that series however he never does stop trying so hard to hit on Syrn, Banchee's sister. Of cource drawn by Ian Churchill, any gal is a babe. But that is my impartial opinion. 8-)

One of the best apperances (or at least the one I remember the most, although there were many in his own ongoing series, which then changed to Agent X before it was cancelled) was in Heroes for Hire #10-11. Although issue #10 contained more of the introductions and the smartass quips, issue #11 had some too. Because if you know Deadpool, he has a remark to everything. Check this one out as Deadpool arives at the HFH's base of operations in an airplane. The first responses to the HFH is just too funny. Check out the remark he makes to Iron Fist, that has to be one of the best. Although the look on Luke Cage's face as Deadpool tries to be "hip" with him is also side-splitting.







You gotta wonder what is so damn funny about Iron Fist? Well for those of you that don't know what the hell is laughing at looking at Iron Fist's feet, obviously don't know Iron Fist well. It has something to do with the formal footwear for Oriental warriors. (Of course that also is an assumption that John Ostrander knows something of the culture there.) Check it out. Thanks to Pascual Ferry's version of Deadpool is one of my favorites.



Too funny. Not to say that Deadpool is never serious. There are many things that he is very serious about. One of them is hiding his face behind a mask or image inducer (who wouldn't like to have one of them?). Deadpool's face is less than handsome, as a result of the healing factor experients he was involved in at the Weapon X project. Although by the time he changed to the name Agent X, due to some amnesia, if I remember correctly, his face was much better. I think it might have also had something to do with the "Funeral For A Freak" storyline in his own ongoing series, shortly before the title change. It was around Deadpool #57-63 or somwhere in that neighborhood.

Deadpool is really one of the best charecters that can be a most entertaing read in so many catergories. There's comedy, action, and drama all in one book. Not many charecters are that versatile. One of the underappreciated charecters as well, I think. Not many people are familar with Deadpool, if they have just a passing knowledge of comic books. If you haven't read anything with Deadpool in it, I highly recomend it. It is well worth the read and there are several appreances and mini-series to start of with before you get into his ongoing series. Here's a quick checklist.

Deadpool (mini-series) #1-4
Deadpool: Circle Chase (mini-series) #1-4
Deadpool (ongoing series)
Heroes for Hire #10-11
X-Force #2 (1st apperance ?)
He also appears off and on in both X-Force and Cable as well.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the read and please leave any suggestions or comments on what you would like me to different. Or what charecters or comic books that would interest you for me to talk about. I'm making a call to all comic book readers, I don't get to talk comics much. When I do, mt wife just stares blankly at me and nods her head, so I think she is listening. 8-) Never could get her into comics much. The only thing she reads is Angel and Buffy and that is just because she already likes the TV shows.

Thanks again for reading and yall take care.
