At what point did Deadpool become... well, so virally popular? Apparently he\'s been around since 1991, but I don\'t read comics, so I never heard of the guy until Marvel Ultimate Alliance (2006). And, from my perspective, it seemed like ol\' Wade really hit \'\'non-comic book\'\' popularity in this time with X-Men Legends 2 (2005), Ultimate Alliance 1 and then 2, the Wolverine movie, Hulk vs. Wolverine... to the point of being shoehorned in as a boss (I say so lovingly and admiringly) in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. And now he\'s had his first appearance in Marvel vs. Capcom game, and I doubt he\'ll be going away. What happened?! Most of us watching the old Spider-man or X-Men cartoons in the \'90s had no idea this guy even EXISTED, but now it looks like he was made for our generation! As a comics outsider, I\'m inclined to believe that X-Men Legends 2 and Ultimate Alliance were Deadpool\'s stepping stones to WolverinePublicity, but I could be wrong. I do notice that he wasn\'t on the cover of MUA1, but he certainly was on MUA2.
