Greetings nerdy list afficionados and welcome back to Top 10 Nerd today we’re talking
about Deadpool the merc with a mouth and powers you may not have known that he had now you
may think you know all there is to know about this fan favourite and maybe you do but perhaps
you hadn’t heard some of these and that’s what we’re here for.
I’m Sasha and these are the Top 10 Super Powers You Didn’t Know Deadpool Had with
the already mentioned caveat you may of course know some of these.
Number 10 - Healing Tied To Mental State – Now most everyone knows about Deadpool’s enhanced
healing factor and how much he can heal from which is essentially pretty much everything
he’s been decapitated he’s been turned into a puddle of goo and then he had to drink
Cable it was a whole thing.
But did you know that how effective his healing factor is, is tied to his mental state so
he heals faster and more well handily when he is not only conscious cause then there
is some intent behind the power but If he is unconscious or depressed then it can be
a much slower go for him which is actually a state Deadpool occupies more than some people
think as he has a lot more to him than just quirky fourth wall breaks his first series
by Joe Kelly the one that began to define him and move him away from the deathstroke
rip off he began as under Liefeld actually had a lot of angst and sad Deadpool sitting
in the shower and the like.
Deadpool has range.
Number 9 - Invulnerable To Telepathy – So deadpool’s healing factor actually renders
him resistant extremely resistant to telepathy that’s because the neurons in his head are
in a constant state of flux with his dying cells being rejuvenated at an accelerated
rate however this is sometimes a who’s writing Deadpool ability meaning that the level of
resistance can vary still even if a telepath can get in there they can rarely make sense
of everything going on especially back when Deadpool still had multiple caption boxes.
Number 8 - Voice Mimicry (ultimate) – We’re hoping over the the ultimate verse for this
one where characters had different abilities and the like just cause, fresh slate etc The
ultimate universe was a comic line started by marvel in order to create a jumping on
point for new readers who may be intimidated by the huge backlog of Marvel canon.
It would of course eventually develop a large back log of it’s own and be done in by some
large questionable events many fans will point to the very gory ultimatum as the turning
point.
The Deadpool of the ultimate verse was a Cyborg who could mimic people’s appearances and
voices but not powers so close but no life model decoy.
Still you could pass as another person like that for awhile if you know no harrowing situation
came up and they weren’t a person who just used their powers willy nilly.
Number 7 - Immortal – Deadpool is effectively immortal and for a time that was independent
of his healing factor though that of course helped rather he had been cursed by Thanos
who was jealous of his relationship with death, cause death has quite the fondness for Wade
for Thanos not so much.
However over time it has shifted to Deadpool’s healing factor just being so intense there
is no stopping it so his time with death is fleeting they share brief moments until he
returns to the land of the living.
He even lowkey cheated on his wife with her when he had her kill him so he could go help
resurrect peter parker who he had killed under mistaken instructions that he was a supervillain.
I say lowkey cause he was high key emotionally cheating with Peter in their series Deadpool/spider-man
but then him and his wife ended up divorcing for reasons explained in another book that
you were also supposed to be reading because give Marvel all your money so it was fine.
Number 6 - Invulnerability to Pain – Now there have been different schools of thought
on this one is that Deadpool is in constant pain because of his cancers never-ending battle
with his healing factor hence he is in a way numb to everything going on around him.
The second is that the constant flux of his healing factor deadens him to pain since his
surface is never truly stable and his skin always in flux either way Deadpool can take
a lot of punishment being able to quip his way throught being disemboweled dismembered
or even just a floating head and we’re not just talking about Headpool.
Number 5 - Super Strength – So this factoid tends to arise from the fact that Deadpool
has lifted the hammer of Thor which some would take to mean that he is worthy while others
would have it mean that he must be strong cause no way should Deadpool be able to lift
that hammer except for comedic purposes which of course was what it ended up being Deadpool
In that little winged helmet with a cape manipulated by Loki into stealing it.
But here’s the thing he never actually had thor’s hammer Loki cloaked the real hammer
and then transformed deadpool’s clothes however that aside in general many fans feel
that the feats Deadpool accomplishes require some form of super strength in order for him
to pull them off.
What do you think super strength or just years of mercing people.
Number 4 – Hulkpool – This character appears in the comic hulked out heroes he is a gamma
irradiated version of the Deadpool so a hulk Deadpool all that power and rage and strength
and hulkness being sent to kill his original Deadpool because he was a murderer with no
remorse.
This was a whole world of hulks hence the title of the series.
Hulk pool travels around time finding himself in world war 2 eventually kills the alternate
Deadpool and makes his way back to the mainverse with the help of his friend bob the hydra
agent.
Oh Hydra bob now there’s a fun character very venture bros just low level grunts in
huge organizations trying to get by.
Number 3 – Venompool – the venomverse gracing the world with many venoms from all
over so this version of Deadpool comes from the edge of the venomverse like the edge of
the spiderverse get it!
So he was investigated a warehouse full of parasitic worms and ended up bonding with
a symbiote so that he could expel the worms which of course gave him all the powers of
the symbiote so of course the constructs the excess strength and agility.
Venompool would be willingly abosbed by a member of the poison species the natural predators
of the klyntar aka symbiotes and as a result he would become poison Deadpool so that he
could be a Deadpool agent cause no matter the universe Deadpool is Deadpool watch out.
Number 2 - Caption Boxes – For a period of Deadpool’s history he had multiple narrations
boxes and they all had different voices and would tell him different things it was thought
for awhile that this was the manifestation of a power that allowed him to be aware of
the fourth wall and also assesses situations from a variety of angles.
It would later be revealed that the caption boxes were actually different characters in
his head being caused when Deadpool has regenerated near someone who was also for all intents
and purposes dead so he has merged them so Madcap a captain America villain was the more
psychotic voice while the other voice was never properly identified though some claim
it was deadpool’s psychiatrist.
So Deadpool he can absorb people and keep their consciousnesses alive.
Terrifying.
Number 1 - Enter White Space – Deadpool can move with ease in Gwenpool’s white space
and as seen in the series gwenpool strikes back can lead the way into it.
The white space is a meta textual space where Gwenpool operates observing changing and mocking
the marvel world.
Deadpool was able to inhabit it understand it and create a flow chart within it.
It makes sense what with his meta awareness that he should be able to move with ease In
such a space.
However everything except the end retcon which happened in that series needs to be taken
with a grain of salt.
As the author said via Gwen in the story that it was meant to be future proof, still Deadpool
was there and he did it.
So those were ten powers you may not have known Deadpool had did you know all of these
how do you feel about the merc with a mouth in general let me know down below.
I’m Sasha and thanks so much for watching Top 10 Nerd….
