Deadpool is one of the most popular characters that Marvel has.
And it is due to this popularity that he has found himself with enough alternates to rival
his frenemy, Wolverine.
In fact Deadpool has so many alternates that he even was forced to take some of them down,
killing some of them off in Deadpool Kills Deadpool.
After all, one Wade Wilson is enough crazy in the world of Marvel, right?
Welcome back, nerd squad.
Today we’re going to be looking at some of the more evil, more depressing or just
more insane alternates from the Marvel Multiverse as we count down the top 10 dark alternate
versions of Deadpool.
And be sure to stick around till the end of this list where we will have some bonus content
coming your way in the form of comment responses.
Alright, let’s get counting.
10 Deadpool Dinosaur
Deadpool Dinosaur is a version of Deadpool that is a T-Rex.
The main thing that indicates his Deadpoolness is that he’s wearing a Deadpool mask and
is part of the Evil Deadpool Corps.
The Evil Deadpool corps are a group of villainous Deadpool’s originally led by alternate Deadpool,
Dreadpool.
They aim to eliminate all Deadpool’s across the multiverse.
Deadpool works to stop them and annihilate this villainous group in the story Deadpool
Kills Deadpool with the help of his own good-team of Deadpool’s known simply as the Deadpool
corps.
Deadpool Dinosaur is accompanied by his own Moon Boy, who looks a lot like Logan in the
face, if I’m being honest.
This version of Moon Boy also fights from Deadpool Dinosaur’s saddle with a big gun.
The two are basically and alternate version of Moon Boy and Devil Dinosaur, with some
Deadpool mixed in.
9 D.E.A.D.P.O.O.L.
This version of Deadpool is basically a combination of former evil AIM leader, MODOK and Deadpool
himself.
One can assume he has the brilliant mind of MODOK but also has the brilliant fighting
skills of Deadpool, even with his tiny disproportionate arms.
Not only does DEADPOOL seem to fight with swords but has two turret fire-arms on his
head.
While MODOK stands for Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing, DEADPOOL supposedly stands
for Destructive Engine of Assasination (Despite Panpygoptosis PAN-PIE-GOP-TOE-SIS) Obsessed
with Opponent Liquidation.
8 Venompool
In a story that is continued through various What If issues, we get to meet Venompool.
Venompool is an alternate version of Deadpool from the alternate earth of 90211.
Here Deadpool ends up becoming bonded with Venom symbiote during his time with the Beyonder,
following a run in with Peter Parking who was bonded with the symbiote at the time.
The symbiote leaves a defeated Parker for Deadpool and bonds with him.
Later on in his life this is a path that leads Deadpool to end up killing all the heroes
of his universe whom he does not find attractive.
Following a therapy session with Doc Samson who he also promptly killed thereafter, he
realized he needed to be true to who he was.
This allowed him to accept that who he was was a massive jerk and prompted him to use
a weapon called the Retcon Expungifier to wipe out the entire universe.
Basically he’s in the running for being the biggest jerk of all the Deadpool alternates.
7 Cesspool
We don’t know that much about Cesspool, like many of the darkest alternates of Deadpool,
Cesspool was part of the Evil Deadpool Corps.
What we do know of him is that he has a terrifying appearance and mutation.
He is completely covered in mouths with razor sharp teeth and uses these to try and devour
his opponents.
Yipes.
This is like something straight out of a horror movie.
6 Galactipool
This alternate version of Deadpool was too dark for even main continuity Deadpool himself.
Galactipool shows up just as we thought the fight was coming to a close between the Deadpool
Corps and the Evil Deadpool corps.
Galactipool is a combination of Galactus and Deadpool and Wade wondered where in the heck
the Evil Deadpool Corps even found an alternate like this Galactuspool.
Fortunately despite him likely having some kind of intense cosmic power, alternate Deadpool,
Lady Deadpool managed to defeat Galactipool, using the Deadpool Corps ship, Bea (BEE) Arthur.
Sadly this was the end of Bea.
5 Wolverinepool
What happens when you take Deadpool and Wolverine and mix them together?
You get Wolverinepool.
Wolverinepool comes from the alternate earth of 1946.
Wolverinepool is the ultimate Weapon X program weapon.
He is a version of Wade Wilson who had adamantium bonded to his skeleton.
He belonged to the Evil Deadpool Corps and was killed during a fight with the non-evil
Deadpool Corps.
It is assumed that he of course has a healing factor but not one strong enough to regenerate
himself when reduced to just a skeleton.
And likely a healing factor that was weaker than both the main continuity Wolverine and
Deadpool.
4 Red Tool
Red Tool is actually not from an alternate Marvel universe but is actually from DC comics.
Oddly enough while Marvel’s Deadpool was created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza
(Nigh-zay-uh) to be a parody of DC’s Deathstroke, DC then decided to themselves parody Marvel’s
own parody of their character, creating Red Tool.
Who is a parody of Deadpool.
He’s a parody of a parody.
Still just because we are stuck in a weird perpetuation of parody, doesn’t mean that
Red Tool has to be a super light fun character.
Red Tool is dark in the fact that he only fights with tools, including power tools,
making his physical conflicts also appear a lot more gruesome than his Marvel counterpart.
And he doesn’t have a healing factor, instead he can’t feel pain, due to having a part
of his brain removed.
Which also makes him somehow even more disturbing of a character than Marvel’s Deadpool.
3 Headpool
Headpool is the version of Deadpool from the Marvel zombieverse of earth 2149.
He is aptly named Headpool because in the end that is all that’s left of him, a head.
But a head who is still very much alive, that is.
And would still very much like to eat you.
This version of dead pool was also not constricted to just existing in the alternate of earth
2149.
He ended up making his way to earth 616 while he still had his mostly full body.
He was thought to have been completely decimated during a fight there but it turns out he survived
but had simply lost the rest of his body and was now just a head.
2 Dreadpool
One of the darkest alternates around, Dreadpool is the version of Deadpool who appeared in
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe.
He is from the alternate earth of 12101, where he was driven even more insane than he already
is.
A therapist known as Doctor Benjamin Brighton attempted to brainwash Deadpool so he might
use him for his own means, however this failed and instead ridded Deadpool of his standard
inner voices, replacing them with a single voice.
This voice in his head seemed fully aware that nothing in the Marvel universe was actually
real and encouraged Deadpool to free everyone from this fictional prison by killing them
all.
Which Deadpool then proceeded to do.
Basically Dreadpool is from Deadpool’s darkest timeline.
1 Evil Deadpool
Evil Deadpool is an alternate Deadpool from the main reality of earth 616.
He is sort of a Franken-version of Deadpool who was created by the deranged and psychotic
Doctor Ella Whitby.
Ella Whitby accidentally helped to create him from storing bits and pieces of Deadpool’s
body which had been lost throughout his life while he fought.
She collected these because she was obsessed with Deadpool and also madly in love with
Wade.
Though they were stored in her fridge, there were likely part of her shrine of collectibles.
In the end Deadpool found these parts in her fridge and tossed them out.
As they thawed in the garbage bag he disposed of them in, they came to life and rejoined
together to create Evil Deadpool.
A version of Deadpool that is evil and just an all around complete jerk for the sake of
being one, who’s fighting skills rival the real Deadpool and who also has a backwards
arm, which proves to be surprisingly useful in fights.
Thank you so much for watching, nerd squad.
Who are some of your favourite Deadpool alternates?
Which alternates do you think are the darkest?
Who do you love more Deadpool or Wolverine?
Let us know in the comments below.
And speaking of comments, it’s time to turn to some comments from one of our latest videos,
top 10 darkest alternate versions of the Joker, part 2.
Sunstar comments, If they ever release the extended version of Ayer’s Suicde Squad,
I’d like to see all the scenes with Jared Leto that [were] cut.
All that method acting, let’s see the final product.”
I would also be interested in checking it out.
Jared Leto might be a lot of things but I do think he is an accomplished actor.
It could be very interesting.
And with Snyder cut of Justice League coming our way, if it does well, who knows--maybe
we could see an extended cut of Suicide Squad or a recut maybe from Ayer who has spoken
about some his regrets when it comes to his work on the film.
Trex advent asks, “What would happen if we saw these dark alternate versions of the
Joker on the big screen or [in] TV shows?”
Batman Who Laughs is so popular we could likely see that alternate of both Batman and the
Joker.
But I also feel like that would be so crazy!
A live action Batman Who Laughs.
I’m not sure if the world is ready.
Are you nerds ready?
And that’s all the time we have for comments today.
