Deadpool is a character who has gotten quite the alternate treatment over the years.
Compared to some of his other marvel counterparts, the merc with a mouth has been amalgamated,
twisted, turned upside down, and has even appeared as a panda and a squirrel.
Actually.
It’s pretty darn great.
But today, instead of looking at the best alternate versions of the character, or the
strangest, we’re looking at the top 10 strongest alternate versions of Deadpool.
These are versions of the famous mercenary who kick some serious butt, and are arguably
stronger than his 616 self.
So with that in mind, let’s get to it!
Now, before we fully jump into our list, I just wanna quickly shout out a brand new channel
of ours – it’s called Tier List, and it features a slew of hosts from all of our different
sister channels, along with special guests, ranking various subjects, objects, you name
it, into tiers.
It’s a fun time, and yours truly makes several appearances, so be sure to head on over there
and check it out!
Now onto the strongest deadpools!
10 Major Deadpool There is one major difference between the
616 Deadpool and the Wade Wilson of Earth 6466, also known as Major Deadpool – he
doesn’t have the voices in his head that the 616 Deadpool has.
Oh, and their realities are wildly different, too.
But in terms of powers, they’re basically par, minus that little insanity spark of Deadpools.
Major Deadpool is essentially an incredibly logical Deadpool who has all of the resources
of a specialized military organization at his finger tips.
This Deadpool comes from an Earth in which Canada and the US have merged into one country.
He works for SHIELD.
He’s a committed solider.
He actually arrests the 616 Deadpool and Earth 2149’s Headpool, and is insulted by how
obnoxious his 616 counterpart is.
Wanting to teach the 616 Deadpool about discipline, he challenges him to a match in hand to hand
combat, which he initially has the advantage in until he’s sucker punched, and Deadpool
beats the crap out of him, noting that he wants to “destroy something beautiful”.
He later wakes up after the 616 Deadpool steals his uniform and orders hi men to open fire
on Deadpool and Headpool.
I mean, at least he can take a beating?
9 Dreadpool Now let’s look at the flip side of that
– a Deadpool far beyond the reach of any logic whatsoever!
Dreadpool, who hails from Earth 12101, is a bit more unstable than other versions of
the merc with a mouth.
According to the Watcher, he was driven beyond the brink of madness, believing himself to
be nothing more than a fictional character, and therefore set out on a quest of “murder
and bloodshed.”
He justified it as the only way to ease his suffering and the suffering of all the other
fictional beings out there – as the watcher puts it, all of this suffering would end if
he could kill his way across all of existence.
Dark, eh?
He’s kind of like Deadpool but intensified, having committed mass multiversal massacrces
in his time, purging the universe of heroes, villains and innocent civilians alike.
8 D.E.A.D.P.O.O.L There’s a lot of different variations of
Deadpool that have appeared super briefly in some of his more meta or multiverse travelling
stories.
Such is the case with DEADPOOL – a character we don’t nearly get enough of, who graces
the panels for a short amount of time.
This is a version of Deadpool who is an amalgamation of the character and M.O.D.O.K, which makes
him an incredibly deadly foe.
All of Deadpool’s charm, capabilities and insanity meets the superhuman intellect, psionic
powers, and an exceptional capability at calculating probabilities.
Personally, I’d love to see a whole comic about HIM.
Imagine the schemes he’d get up to.
7 Grootpool Grootpool is, you guessed it, Deadpool if
he was groot!
And instead of saying I am Groot, he only says I am Deadpool, which is pretty darn great.
While not much is known about the character, he’s a combination of the two heroes, and
has the powers of both the merc with a mouth and of Groot.
He appears in Deadpool Kills Deadpool issue 4, and also dies in that same issue, which
is kind of a shame.
So what kinds of powers does he have outside of Deadpool’s?
Well, we can assume he has an accelerated healing factor, superhuman strength and durability,
elasticity, plant manipulation, and, there’s a good chance that he can come back to life
when defeated.
So maybe the character isn’t entirely dead after all.
6 Octosquatchpool Octosquatchpool is a character who only appeared
in the comics for a hot second back in 2017’s Edge of Venomverse issue 3.
Not a whole lot is known about him, aside from the fact that his abilities are seemingly
a combination of some pretty heavy hitters – Deadpool, for starters, of course, combined
with Doctor Octopus AND Sasquatch.
His name makes sense now, doesn’t it?
Anywho, despite his superior levels of strength, presumable intelligence, robotic arms and,
well, his Deadpool-ness, the character was short lived, and was killed off by Host Rider,
the Roberto Reyes of Earth TRN647 who is a combination of Ghost Rider and Venom.
I mean, hey, taking on anyone who has a prehensile tongue made of hellfire wouldn’t be easy.
5 Dinosaur Deadpool I mean, come on!
HE’S A DINOSAUR.
This Dinosaur version of the merc with the mouth is capable of all the things that Deadpool
can do (obviously restricted by his physical body size and tiny arms, of course) and the
abilities of Devil Dinosaur from Earth 616.
He comes from Earth TRN321, and appears in Deadpool Kills Deadpool issue 3 from 2014.
He’s got a partner named Moon Boy, and the two of them are later recruited into the Evil
version of the Deadpool Corps.
Aside from that, not a whole lot is known about the character.
Except, you know, he’s a dinosaur.
And I duno about you guys, but that speaks volumes to me.
You don’t f*ck with a T-Rex, friends.
4 Venompool Generally any combination with the Venom symbiote
is a deadly one.
This version hails from Earth 90211, and has the abilities of Deadpool and the Venom symbiote
combined.
Oh the kinds of insanity he harbours!
His world is a reality in which the Beyonder has made life one giant party, and is a reality
that is perpetually stuck in the 1980s.
Venompool is a complete party animal, and he’s the character that the Beyonder loves
to party with the most.
The Beyonder eventually gets bored of him, and later on down the line, he ends up getting
into a big fight with him and Galactus, and erases the two of them from existence, saving
the earth, making himself a hero.
He starts to take over the world, but eventually realizes that he’s empty inside, and no
amount of power that he obtains will ever make him good.
While he’s arguably crazy powerful, most of his narratives, outside of the Deadpool
corps, are comical – at one point, he undergoes therapy in which it’s revealed to him that
the Beyonder’s rejection of him damaged him emotionally, and he put up walls that
made him more arrogant and egotistical.
Sadly enough, the character would later erase himself from his universe using the Recton
Expungifier.
3 Wolverinepool Wolverinepool is a version of Wade Wilson
from Earth 1946, who first appeared in Cable and Deadpool issue 46 back in 2007.
He’s a version whose skeleton was bonded with Adamantium thanks to the Weapon X program,
and generally has the same powers as Logan on Earth 616 – he’s got a regenerative
healing factor that’s now amplified because of the adamantium, and also has retractable
adamantium claws.
He ends up being recruited by Dreadpool, the deranged Deadpool of Earth 12101 that we mentioned
earlier on our list.
Anywho, Wolverinepool ends up fighting against the Deadpool corps, but eventually ends up
being decapitated, and later, when Galactipool arrives, he’s hit with a grenade that explodes
and releases a ton of bugs who consume all of his flesh, leaving only his skeleton and
claws.
2 Galactipool Galactipool is a character who doesn’t appear
nearly as much in the comics as the rest of the characters on this list, but regardless,
is a major threat and a major power worth discussing.
First appearing in Deadpool Kills Deadpool issue 2, and later in the following issue
3, this character was recruited into the Deadpool Corps as a last resort.
Despite being killed by Lady Deadpool by the Bea Arthur – the spaceship the Corps use
that was named after the 616 Deadpool’s favourite actress – when Lady Deadpool flies
it directly into Galactipool’s head.
Despite that being a slightly ridiciulous way to go, especially when you’re a cosmic
entity, Galactipool is a version of Deadpool who has similar powers as the 616 Galactus,
meaning he can access the power cosmic.
But considering he’s a Deadpool, well, some of that power may have been lessened compared
to his 616 Galactus counterpart.
But since the character wasn’t around for long, we never really got to see the full
extent of his power.
1 Death Mask Death Mask manages to top Galactipool, simply
because we know what he’s capable of in comparison.
And he also didn’t die when a spaceship was flown into his head.
Although to be fair, no one actually tried that with Death Mask, but still, you get my
point.
Anywho, this version of Wade Wilson is from Earth 11638, and is essentially an amalgamation
of Deadpool and Victor Von Doom.
He came to be when Reed Richards of his Earth uses a revolutionary procedure that removed
a lethal brain tumor from Wade’s head, which allowed him to become a super genius.
He used his new found intellectual abilities to build a criminal empire, and started to
wear a Doctor Doom inspired suit of armour, and has the same abilities as Victor from
616 has.
Death Mask would kill Victor Von Doom of his Earth, who replaces him as Deadpool in this
reality, and wears a green suit.
Deadpool of 616 really adored Deathwish, and when Death Mask kills him, he ends up setting
his sights on the 616 counterpart.
Death Mask is defeated though, but wasn’t down for the count just yet – he ends up
striking a deal with Mephisto, unleashing monsters on Earth out of revenge, including
the Infernal Hulk – a terrifying character we’ve mentioned on both our Strongest alternate
Versions of Hulk list and Scariest Alternate versions of Avengers.
They’re definitely worth checking out, so head on over to our channel after this to
take a peek!
