Secret Deadpool Powers Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Nerd, I'm Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
We all know Deadpool, the hilarious 4th wall breaking merc with a mouth who is all over
pop culture right now.
https://i.imgflip.com/y5xo1.jpg But the guy's got some pretty wicked powers that not everyone
knows about!
So let's talk about them!
Grab your chimichangas, it's time for the Top 10 Secret Powers of Deadpool!
Number 10: Regeneration.
Okay, this one isn't so much a secret as it is literally the one power everyone knows
he has.
It's kind of his thing.
But I'm talking about Deadpool's powers and it would be weird not to talk about this one.
Plus it's pretty important to know for a lot of the other points.
As a result of his Weapon X treatment, he gained powerful regenerative abilities, letting
him heal from pretty much any wound, even regrowing limbs.
This is the main power of Wade, and it's super relevant to a number of his other powers.
Number 9: Super strength.
This one's a bit controversial, because certain sources say he has increased strength while
others say he has the strength of a normal fit human.
Early on it was more apparent that he had enhanced strength, but nowadays he generally
seems to be a regular dude.
But Marvel's wiki says he has increased strength, agility, and reflexes, so I'll take their
word for it.
It makes sense, maybe the Weapon X procedure itself did this, and maybe his healing factor
interacts with these abilities in a way to make them better.
Plus in Deadpool and Cable #13, he crushed Barat with two fingers, showing a superhuman
level of strength.
Those who say he's superhuman say he's around the two tonne range in terms of strength,
which is pretty damn impressive.
Personally, I buy it.
Let me know in the comments if you disagree!
Number 8: Insanity.
Yep, I consider his insanity a power, and you should too!
Leaving aside the Deadpool kills everything stuff, Deadpool's insanity often works out
pretty well for him.
Not only does having an inner voice to bounce ideas off of help him to make plans, but his
insanity and recklessness make him totally unpredictable.
You literally have no idea what he'll do next, which makes it pretty impossible to defend
against him.
Will he sneak in through the toilet, or just walk right in the front door?
Only time will tell.
Number 7: Teleportation.
This is one power that comes and goes, but it's pretty powerful when he can access it.
This isn't exactly an inherent power of his since it comes from outside sources, but I
think it's too interesting and too unknown by some people to leave off.
For a time, Deadpool had a device, created by Weasel, that he could use to teleport wherever
he wanted.
The teleporter was later written out since it just made him way too overpowered, but
it was pretty neat while it lasted.
After his teleporter stopped working, he later bonded with Cable's bodyslide teleportation,
and would be teleported to a place whenever Cable used it.
But that was more of a "Teamup button" than something he could use too often.
Deadpool's teleportation was actually the one thing they got RIGHT in X-Men Origins
Wolverine.
But it doesn't make up for the rest of it.
Number 6: Resistance to psychic and telepathic powers.
This is another one related to his healing factor (a lot of these powers will be related
to it in one way or another) but it's pretty nifty.
Because his brain cells are constantly regenerating, other beings with brain-altering powers have
a hard time keeping up with the constant change, allowing Deadpool to resist the effects of
most mind control.
There are exceptions to this, if they're super powerful, or it's not canon, but in general
he's able to put up some serious resistance when someone tries to get in his head.
And really, you probably don't want to get in his head in the first place.
Scary place.
Number 5: Resistance to toxins.
Eyy, look at that, another healing factor-related one.
Shocker.
This one's pretty straightforward, but has some disastrous consequences.
Deadpool's heightened regeneration and metabolism means that should he ingest any poison, his
body is able to counteract its effects faster than it can affect him.
This is pretty useful the vast majority of the time, but remember those disastrous consequences
I mentioned?
Deadpool CAN'T GET DRUNK!
OH THE HUMANITY!
Sure he'll never get sick and doesn't have to worry about poison or venom, but like...
what's the point?
(I'm joking, you don't need alcohol to have fun, say no to drugs, only you can prevent
forest fires, etc., etc.)
Number 4: Superhuman stamina.
And no, I don't mean in bed.
Although he probably has that too, the jerk.
https://youtu.be/fsrjzixp1Zs?t=25 Because of Deadpool's rapid regeneration, his muscles
tire much more slowly, constantly regenerating and releasing less fatigue toxins than most
people.
I gotta be honest here, I have no idea what these "fatigue toxins" mean, but they were
referenced several times in my research.
I'm not sure if it's made up for the comic books or if it's meant to be real, like lactic
acid or something...
I dunno!
I'm too dumb.
Any scientists out there please enlighten me in the comments down below!
Number 3: Asexual Reproduction.
That's right.
Deadpool can make more Deadpools, and I'm not talking about the Deadpool corps alternate
versions.
In 2011's Deadpool #44, Deadpool found out that his stalker Ella Whitby had collected
a bunch of body parts he'd lost over the years in her fridge.
After dealing with Whitby, he grabbed all his body parts, chucked them in a garbage
back, and threw the bag into a dumpster.
But unfortunately, it turns out the body parts still had his healing factor, and merged together
to create Evil Deadpool, or as I call him Frankendeadpool.
This was a pretty huge reveal; I'm surprised Wade hasn't tried to make more Deadpools...
although I guess his first experience with his asexual offspring may have turned him
off the idea.
Number 2: Medium Awareness.
Medium awareness is a term generally used to describe characters who break the fourth
wall.
They're QQ aware of the QQ medium they're in, namely a comic book.
And if any comic book character has this, it's Deadpool.
Or Gwenpool, but I'm not talking about her right now.
A significant part of Deadpool's schtick is his breaking of the 4th wall, often referring
directly to the viewer, and making references about the real world that he shouldn't be
able to make, and while he generally uses it to make jokes, it has come in handy from
time to time, since it lets him do things he otherwise wouldn't with the knowledge that
he's the hero of the story.
Number 1: Immortality.
This is one that a lot of people know, but some people know it for the wrong reasons.
Deadpool has his awesome regeneration, true, but that isn't the only reason he can't die.
See, Wade is so damn charming that he even charmed the pants off death, causing her to
fall in love with him.
Yes, non-comic book fans, Death is a woman.
Thing is, this ticked off Thanos, who had a thing for Death.
So he cursed Deadpool so that he could never die, and thus could never be together with
Death.
I mean, I'd take that deal any day, but when you've suffered as much as Wade, I could see
how never dying could be a punishment.
Plus, ya know, Death IS pretty sexy.
That's it for today!
