Which, in Deadpool currency, equals a whole lot of chimichangas. 98, with a pristine copy going for $500 on the reseller market, or a signed iteration with creator Rob Liefeld’s signature going for close to $2,000. Take Deadpool’s printed debut in New Mutants No. More unusually, screenwriters Skip Woods and David Benioff (yes, that Benioff!) bestowed Wade Wilson’s alter ego with inexplicably arbitrary powers, like teleportation and laser eye beams, both of which have zero precedent in Deadpool’s 27-year comic-book existence (he is, however, super resistant to hangovers).įirst appearances are incredibly important moments for comic-book collectors. Fox executives insisted Reynolds abandon Deadpool’s signature red-and-black costume for eggplant hospital scrubs, his trusty katanas traded in for abnormally long retractable arm blades. In fact, every iconic characteristic of the Deadpool you know now was once dismissed with such a blatant disdain for the source material that the comic-book-fan community couldn’t help but see it as a raised middle claw. In other words, the singularly distinguishing factor about the iconic character - Deadpool’s ability to sling self-deprecating quips, the fourth-wall-breaking one-liners, the profanity-laced cracks - was a non-consideration for his cinematic debut.
Literally: He wears a surgically sealed fleshy mess over the lower half of his face. Reynolds actually popped up in the climactic scene at the end of 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine as the merc with no mouth. Ryan Reynolds’s first appearance as the “Merc With a Mouth” wasn’t in 2016’s Deadpool.
