While Deadpool is one of the most well-known Marvel Comics characters due in part to his expertise in killing, dark sense of humor, and the meta nature of his comics, there is a version of Wade Wilson in the X-Men’s darkest timeline who is the perfect opposite of the original.

Wade Wilson aka Deadpool was originally a human mercenary who underwent experimental treatment with the Weapon Plus Program after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The treatment Wade signed himself up for promised to mutate his cells and give him the power necessary to fight off his cancer while also heightening every other aspect of his physiology. Deadpool was already a deadly mercenary before he was turned into a mutate, but now he was even more so, with the added benefit of being practically immortal thanks to his new-found healing factor. Unfortunately, while the treatment was a success, Wade was horribly scarred both physically and mentally which fully attributed to his unhinged nature. In essence, the experimentation made Deadpool unkillable while also deranged–and his humor/personality perfectly reflected that. Deadpool thought death and gore was absolutely hilarious (if it was happening to someone who deserved it), and he never shied away from a particular murder-mission unless it directly conflicted with his moral code.

In X-Calibre #2 by Warren Ellis and Ken Lashley, readers are thrown into the alternate timeline of the Age of Apocalypse where En Sabah Nur has ordered a few of his troops to track down the mutant and human safe-haven of Avalon and burn it to the ground. The three villains Apocalypse chose to send on this mission were Damask, Dani Moonstar, and Wade Wilson–who, in this reality, was known as Dead Man Wade. In this issue, Dani is torturing Wade just for fun as Wade’s wounds were non-fatal, and she reveled in the pain she was causing him. While Wilson hated it, he endured the suffering until Damask got annoyed with Dani’s sadism and killed her–with Dani’s blood splattering all over Wade’s body, stunning and disturbing the Deadpool-variant to his core.

Dead Man Wade is More Sensitive than Deadpool, & Somehow More Disturbed

Dead Man Wade freaking out.

This issue showed Dead Man Wade shocked and disgusted by the sight of someone essentially getting blown up right in front of him. While the original Deadpool wouldn’t have necessarily taken pleasure in seeing that level of violence, he definitely would have found something funny to say about the situation, especially since the person who just got splattered all over him was just torturing him moments earlier. Ironically, however, the sensitivity and squeamish nature of Dead Man Wade isn’t his most ‘opposite’ trait–it’s his disturbing bloodlust. It may seem nonsensical to consider that someone who hated to see his torturer die in front of him would have an insatiable need to kill, but Dead Man Wade tragically proves that it isn’t. When Damask and Dead Man Wade get to Avalon, Wade is overcome with the sinister desire to kill anything and everything around him simply because it was alive. No joy, no humor, and no reasoning were behind the actions of this Deadpool variant–only unceasing pain, deep sadness, and a need to make everything as dead as he feels.

While both Deadpool and Dead Man Wade enjoy killing to a certain extent, Deadpool does it for two reasons: heroism and money. Deadpool only kills bad people (at least, current era Deadpool), and he makes sure he’s paid for it, too. Sure, he thinks it’s funny when one of his targets gets horribly maimed during a job, but that’s an almost relatable reaction to absurd levels of violence. On the other hand, Dead Man Wade is both disgusted by the sight of ultra violence and desperate to commit murder against anything that moves. Dead Man Wade is an empty reflection of the original Wade Wilson–but more than that, he’s Deadpool’s perfect opposite.
