Top 10 Curiosities about Deadpool & Wolverine

In the comics, these two have faced each other several times, and have fought battles that just didn't go to the death, because taking the life of one of them is, perhaps, Marvel's biggest challenge!

While the film doesn't arrive (premiere scheduled for July 26th), let's see the interesting facts from the trailer and try to imagine what to expect from this story.

Universe 616

In comics, most canonical stories take place in universe 616 (Earth-616), which is the numbering given to this specific universe within the Marvel Multiverse. The cinema stories, on the other hand, take place on Earth-199999.

In the trailer it is not clear whether the story follows directly from the previous film, showing a retired Deadpool, with a wig, and separated from Vanessa (his great love from the 1st film). For these reasons, it is possible that this Deadpool is not from the same universe as the Deadpool that we have been following until now, which would bring many possibilities, such as a fight between Deadpools, even if not in this film, could come in the next ones. Or several versions of the same villain, as almost happened in the Ant-Man saga.

We already know that there will be meetings between Deadpools, as shown in the Dogpool trailer, a version of a universe in which Deadpool is a dog, which is already sensational and guarantees a good laugh!

Connection with the Loki series

At the beginning of the Trailer, we see the TVA (Time Variance Authority) agents who were featured on screen in the “Loki” series and are agents who should ensure that the multiverse does not collapse. For those who followed the series, what appears in the trailer brings more questions than answers, but it is certainly the cinematic universe's entry into the multiverse, because once it has placed the TVA in history, there is no going back, it brings a gigantic complexity and richness to the story.

Mixing this with Deadpool guarantees a lot of low-slang jokes and a new level of fourth-wall breaking, which in the trailer is very good to see.

Taking advantage of the hook, here's a tip about the series from the Marvel universe, “Loki”, two great seasons that are really worth watching!

Not the Wolverine we know!

In this trailer, they make it clear that this Wolverine is not the same as the one we see in the X-Men and that he, unlike the one we see who died as a hero, failed to protect his world, implying that he is possibly the last X -Men alive from your multiverse!

This brings a whole new background to the character to be explored in the film - which will certainly be sensational, based on the comics in the “Old Man Logan” saga, bringing a version of him that is much more bitter, with more self-confidence problems and so on. Like in the movie Logan, suffering from some kind of problem with his claws, which we can speculate at the moment could be some adamantium poisoning in his body (like in the “Weapon X” saga), which is poisoning him and after so many years his healing factor is no longer able to keep him free of it.

Although sad, this brings more opportunities for jokes to our beloved Deadpool, as we see in the first seconds of the Trailer.

Fight to the death?

As stated in the introduction to this article, this is not the first time they have met, and whenever this happens, an extremely bloody fight begins. Knowing that this is how it is in the comics, we are eager to see the level of the fight between these two almost immortals, which allows for carnage far above what we are used to seeing in the cinema.

Let's hope that Disney allows the intensity of the combat to be compatible with the two monsters that are facing each other.

The Antiheroes

A curiosity that unites the stories of these two former mercenaries is the search for redemption, together with the healing factor that makes them practically immortal, which makes this redemption something very far from being achieved and making their suffering almost Eternal.

Combining this with the fact that they are anti-heroes, the longer they live, the higher the “body count” they carry, even in the case of Wolverine who is always trying to isolate himself and have peace, but the fight always comes to him. , no matter where you are.

Origin

This similarity in the origins of these characters in the cinematic universe is a detail that brings a unique shine to the story. Although Logan was already born a mutant, his story becomes really heavy (especially because a metal-coated bone structure cannot be light) when he goes through the experiment of having liquid metal injected into his body, causing, in addition to the cure that he already had, now gain natural armor in his body that is as resistant as possible.

Like Wolverine, Wade Wilson only became Deadpool after experiments to force his body to activate his mutation (if he actually had it inactive in his body), which gave him his unshakable healing factor and a dexterity and perception of reality extremely above normal.

Super powers

When it comes to Wolverine, this is an easy list to make, as his powers have been well described throughout his stories. We know he has bone claws and super regeneration, which is what allowed him to gain his adamantium plating later in his story.

He also has above-average combat ability, along with well-above-average strength (which is why he can move despite having a metal structure) and his sense of smell resembles that of a predatory animal like a wolf or a lion!

Some lists include things like resistance to substances, but in this case, I consider it a consequence and not a superpower, as this tolerance that your body has is due to your healing factor that causes your metabolism to be extremely accelerated.

When we talk about Deadpool, this list becomes a little more difficult, as the information seems to change depending on who is speaking and which universe is being talked about.

Knowing this, I will list based on the films mainly and the canonical universe of the comics. Just like Wolverine, we can start with his regeneration and accelerated metabolism, as well as an absurd dexterity to perceive and react to what is around him, self-awareness (which allows him to break the fourth wall), above-normal strength and his unique madness that It's literally a superpower, as it protects you from mind control or some kind of mind reading.

In terms of strength, when it comes to the comics, we have some situations in which he demonstrated something close to or even superior to Spider-Man, but this seems to happen in specific events - because with this strength, he could kill his enemies with punches instead of katanas.

Immortality

In the comics, Thanos makes Deadpool immortal as punishment for flirting with death, meaning he can never truly be with her. In the MCU, this part of his power was never addressed, it was only shown that his regeneration is at a very high level to the point of rebuilding half of his body if it were split in half.

For that reason, I think it's valid to think that in the movie universe, Deadpool is still mortal, even though we probably don't have anyone capable of killing him at the moment.

In the case of Wolverine, although some say he is immortal, he just has this gigantic healing factor, but in both the movies and the comics he is mortal, having already died in some story in both universes.

Pain and suffering?

A curiosity that may be obvious to fans, but many people don't know for sure, is that both Deadpool and Wolverine still feel pain, just like normal people.

Imagine that every time he exposes his claws, he feels his skin being torn by the metal, which seems extremely sadistic, and in Wolverine's case he has already declared his displeasure.

Which completely differs from Deadpool, who not only lives mutilating himself on his own, but has also made it clear on several occasions that he likes to feel this way, putting himself in completely unnecessary situations several times, feeling all the pain, often just to be able to make a joke at the end.

Smile - Wait for the Flash

This phrase coined in front of Deadpool's gun aroused great interest among the public due to the sadistic humor that it represents, precisely by showing in the scene, two people who can take this “flash” and continue walking without any major problems.

This scene at the beginning of the Trailer also makes a reference to the way in which Wolverine loses his memory in the MCU, which occurs when he is shot by a bullet made of adamantium that manages to pass through his coated bone structure, but does not kill him, causing just his memory loss.

While we wait for the film, leave any other interesting facts in the comments that you know are not on the list, or perhaps any additions.

It will be a pleasure to discover new situations and stories about these two gigantic Marvel characters!
