* SchrodingersCanon: Cullen Bunn has gone on record saying that ''Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars'' and ''Deadpool: Back in Black'' are canon, and included references to the latter in ''Poison-X'' and ''Deadpool: Assassin'' #4 to cement it as such. However, ''Venom'' writer Donny Cates stated on Twitter that as far as he was concerned Deadpool bonding to the Venom symbiote ''isn't'' canon, with a somewhat-teasing editorial note in ''Absolute Carnage vs. Deadpool'' stating that they're not counting it. This led to an argument between Cates and Bunn over the canonicity of Bunn's works, with Bunn's stance being backed up by Jordan D. White -- senior editor of the ''X-Men'' comics -- as the reason why Deadpool admires Spider-Man.

''Deadpool: Back in Black'' is a 2016 comic book limited series from Creator/MarvelComics. It's written by Creator/CullenBunn with art by Salva Espin and color art by Ruth Redmond.

Set after Spider-Man forced the Venom symbiote off of him using a church bell, the creature went into hiding, gradually regaining its strength with the help of a friendly janitor. Finding Deadpool, who had been {{Retcon}}ned into having bonded with it before Spider-Man, the symbiote eventually re-bonded to him, who accepted its presence.

!!''Deadpool: Back in Black'' provides examples of:


* BigEater: Venompool chows down a ship full of Zn'rx, Coldwar, and Killer Thrill's left arm in the space of a single night. He would have eaten the rest of Killer Thrill and Guzz had they not escaped, and would have eaten Spider-Man too had Wade not forced the symbiote to back off.
* TheCorrupter: In an indirect manner, after separating from it, Deadpool notes that he never used to admire Spider-Man and wonders if the symbiote pushed all its positive emotions onto him, leaving it only with hatred, rage, bloodlust, and twisted obsession.
* EatingTheEnemy:
** After stopping a squadron of Snarks from abducting the Power Pack, Deadpool overhears Jack lament that they'll eventually return. After pondering how to solve this problem in a heroic fashion, Deadpool latches onto the Snarks' ship sporting claws and a JaggedMouth, and has a super-sized helping of jumbo frog legs for dinner.
** When saving White Rabbit from Guzz and Coldwar, Deadpool Vulks out and chows down on the latter, [[ExtremeOmnivore completely disregarding that he's a robot]].
** Venompool is revealed to be the reason Killer Thrill is missing her left arm, slicing it off with his tongue and pulling it into his mouth. Immediately after this the symbiote would have eaten Spider-Man, but Wade refused to let it.
* GoThroughMe: When the symbiote separates from him to eat Spider-Man, Deadpool throws himself between it and Spidey, saying that it'll have to kill him too. It nearly does, then relents at the last second and returns to Our Lady of Saints Church.
* HulkingOut: After Black Cat is knocked out by Killer Thrill and White Rabbit is about to be killed by Guzz and Coldwar, Deadpool assumes a bulky, monstrous appearance and [[CurbStompBattle easily defeats them]]. Deadpool subsequently Venomizes when the symbiote takes over fighting Kraven, and in the final showdown against Killer Thrill.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Deadpool looks up to Spider-Man, something the symbiote takes umbrage with.
* InterruptedCooldownHug: When the symbiote lashes out over its rage towards Spider-Man, Deadpool tries to calm it by assuring it that it's got him now, and that it doesn't need Spider-Man and can let go of its anger. Kraven picks that moment to attempt to apologize over his MistakenIdentity and the moment he mentions Spider-Man's name the symbiote goes berserk again.
* JaggedMouth: Several of Venompool's {{Game Face}}s sport MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily that are black and blend into his mask.
* LiesToChildren: When Julie Power asks what happened to the Snarks, Deadpool says they teleported away before their ship crashed into the East River... burping midway through the lie.
* MistakenForCheating: Black Cat -- having mistaken him for Spider-Man -- is disgusted when Deadpool admits to knowing many floozies and flirts with Killer Thrill, snapping that she's almost tempted to let the bounty hunter kill him.
* MistakenIdentity: He's mistaken for Symbiote Spider-Man by Black Cat, the Power Pack, and Kraven the Hunter.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Whenever he gets angry and/or the symbiote takes over, Deadpool sprouts the massive fanged maw and slavering tongue that would later become the symbiote's trademark.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: After separating from the symbiote, Wade bumps into Eddie Brock and unwittingly sets the stage for him to become Venom.
* OnTheRebound: The Venom symbiote uses Deadpool as a rebound after Peter rejected it, going on adventures with him before eventually being returned to the Our Lady of Saints Church just in time for its fateful meeting with Eddie Brock.
* PetTheDog: In a rare moment of compassion, Deadpool realizes that the symbiote is sentient and immediately returns it to its prison, hoping that the brief period it had spent bonded to him didn't have any adverse effects.
* PopCulturedBadass: Deadpool being who he is, he makes pop-culture references and {{Shout Out}}s to media such as ''Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' and ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers''.
* PowerIncontinence: When Deadpool thinks about Spider-Man in a positive light, the symbiote nearly turns him into street pizza by refusing to shoot a webline. Black Cat catches him and cracks an innuendo about him being low on web fluid in more ways than one.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: As the symbiote's host, Deadpool fought off a Zn'rx battalion who were after the Power Pack, teamed up with Black Cat to fight White Rabbit, and was the target of Kraven the Hunter's "second-to-last" hunt -- the latter two having mistaken him for Spider-Man. The symbiote is also being pursued by Killer Thrill, a bounty hunter first seen in the ''[[Characters/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Drax]]'' comic.
* RunningGag: Deadpool is mistaken for Spider-Man by the Power Pack, Black Cat, and Kraven the Hunter. He briefly considers taking advantage of Felicia's misunderstanding, but decides that would be too creepy even for him.
* SchrodingersCanon: Cullen Bunn has gone on record saying that ''Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars'' and ''Deadpool: Back in Black'' are canon, and included references to the latter in ''Poison-X'' and ''Deadpool: Assassin'' #4 to cement it as such. However, ''Venom'' writer Donny Cates stated on Twitter that as far as he was concerned Deadpool bonding to the Venom symbiote ''isn't'' canon, with a somewhat-teasing editorial note in ''Absolute Carnage vs. Deadpool'' stating that they're not counting it. This led to an argument between Cates and Bunn over the canonicity of Bunn's works, with Bunn's stance being backed up by Jordan D. White -- senior editor of the ''X-Men'' comics -- as the reason why Deadpool admires Spider-Man.
* ShoutOut: Deadpool and the symbiote argue with each other a la [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Smeagol vs. Gollum]] in the middle of a fight with Kraven the Hunter.
* TalkingToThemself: When Deadpool admires Spider-Man one too many times, the symbiote seizes control of him and goes on a tirade about how Spider-Man is a monster for trying to kill it and leaving it for dead on an alien world where it's being hunted. What follows is a Gollum-esque argument where Deadpool and the symbiote alternate control of their body, leaving Kraven the Hunter and three lions watching in stunned silence.
