History Characters / TheUnbelievableGwenpool

* AmbiguouslyBi: She once briefly dated [[Characters/XForce Quentin Quire]] of the X-Men, has an open crush on ComicBook/MilesMorales, and was once distracted by the FemaleGaze of both [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]] and ComicBook/BuckyBarnes. But she's also expresses much of the same interest in Marvel's leading ladies including Kamala Khan who she refers to as "Best Girl". Gwen also unabashedly claims that she'd let [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Dinah Lance]] kick her in the face then [[CasualKink thank her for it.]] Then ''Gwenpool Strikes Back'' #2 confirms she's bisexual, where she and Deadpool discuss hooking up with both Mr. and Mrs. Fantastic. Her arc in ''Webcomic/LoveUnlimited2022'' has her initially try to set up a love triangle between herself, Wither, and Elixir, and after failing, falls in love with Julie Power. Only not really, as she discovers that she's aroace (UsefulNotes/{{asexual}} and UsefulNotes/{{aromantic}}).

* DaydreamBeliever: Even when she was living in her own world she believed in fictional worlds being real enough to hope that ''Comicbook/SecretWars2015'' would fold her world into the [[Comicbook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel new Marvel Universe]] and actively seek out ways to reach the multiverse. Her books whole existence proves that [[ComicbooksAreReal she was/is right]].

* IdiotHero: Gwen definitely isn't a ScienceHero, and despite her wearing a mask to conceal her identity, she has very little sense of subtlety whenever she does wear it. She gets even dumber whenever she's not written by Christopher Hastings, such as in her ''Comicbook/SecretEmpire'' [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/hXoARZr4K4nJysw4P38t45ICRLSmBCoT1NOLENSG3W-y4qukrhpCVIy9N-4khLVSnZFC5i_QKbubrjPEHCj172TRhzybNxDtT1K4ggCaZJVjtHp74iBrsTciihmY44P1x1_WXw=s0 appearance]].

* BadPowersGoodPeople: She has awareness of everyone's backstory and secret identity, and later becomes a RealityWarper. [[spoiler: Future Gwen states that's the universe trying to tell her to turn bad.]] She refuses to turn to the dark side.

* BreakTheCutie: A few times during the course of the story, when she finds out the world won't work out her way, and she won't always get a happy ending. The death of Cecil is her first big loss, and it sparks her quest for vengeance against M.O.D.OK. When her team breaks up, she falls into a depression. During issue 20, she bursts into tears upon realizing [[spoiler: her brother has been RetGone, and actually goes to Terrible Eye for solace.]]

* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: [[spoiler: After returning home Gwen feels as if some force is compelling her to cross over to the Marvel universe, even though she doesn't remember already having done that. She keeps finding more and more proof it’s possible and ways to do it. Even after giving up due to her brother almost being killed by one such portal, the universe double downed and outright forced her to deal with things like dialogue boxes, scene transitions and even TheFourthWall itself. BadFuture Gwen eventually spells out to her that Gwen is now a comic book character and subjected to the same laws as all the other characters, while also encouraging her to just have fun with it (in the worst way possible). ]]

* CosmicPlayThing: She doesn't seem to realize though that the world is actively working against her. It won't kill her, but it won't play to her tune either. [[spoiler: Though after returning to the real world, it seems for whatever reason that the universe, or some powerful being, wants her in the Marvel universe and will stop at nothing to accomplish it.]]

* RememberTheNewGirl: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] and played with. Gwen, being a literal [[SelfInsertFic Self Insert Character]], has a tendency to force her way into taking part of other Marvel Heroes' adventures. This tends to have varying levels of acceptance from the other characters.

* ScrewDestiny: Her future self tells her how she is destined to be a villain and will make a sizably long run[[labelnote: Note]]as in, a long running series of issues.[[/labelnote]] of it too, citing how her [[BadPowersBadPeople powers]] are more tailored to those of a villain, how she was relegated to the role of henchman when she debuted, and how the other heroes already see her as a nuisance. Gwen, realizing she doesn't want to screw over the rest of the Marvel Universe even if she is supposedly more real than them [[labelnote: Note]] And she isn't even sure of that anymore.[[/labelnote]], promptly promises her future counterpart that NONE of that will ever happen. Cue RetGone. Unfortunately, [[HeroicSacrifice doing this dooms her series to be cancelled.]]

* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: The Marvel Universe is, at least. [[spoiler: This eventually convinces her to become a full-on hero and abandon her reckless ways: She loves all the Marvel Heroes and the world they live in, and if continuing her current path leads to her becoming a villain who opposes them it just isn't worth it.]]

* BreakTheCutie: His time as a ghost is very unpleasant. [[spoiler: He can't interact with much of the world and his own family tries to exorcise him when he tries to visit, causing him to develop depression and nearly get tempted into evil.]]

* KilledOffForReal: He dies in the first issue, and while his ghost comes back he's still, technically, "dead". [[spoiler: Though he eventually regains his real body in the final issue.]]

* CloudCuckooLander: Whatever cosmic awareness her helmet grants her, it covers such a broad range with no filter that she comes across as completely unhinged.

* DistressedDude: [[spoiler: He ends up in ''Hell'', somehow. Strung up by Satan, no less. Gwen busted him out for his troubles in the final issue.]]

* RealityWarper: Its implied that he has the same abilities as Gwen. [[spoiler: The reason the Future Miles, Vincent, and Sarah need him is because he can passively shield them from Future Gwen's wall breaking powers.]]

* RippleEffectProofMemory: [[spoiler: While everyone else forgets the timelines he's altered, he remembers.]]

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler: After retrieving Gwen from the Marvel Universe, he finds keeping her there to be quite the chore as she keeps coming across more and more ways to cross back over, each one a completely new way over from how she originally did it. This is because it's a one-way trip, and he's just bringing them into a pocket universe modeled after their memories.]]

* AmbiguouslyBi: She once briefly dated [[Characters/XForce Quentin Quire]] of the X-Men, has an open crush on ComicBook/MilesMorales, and was once distracted by the FemaleGaze of both [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]] and ComicBook/BuckyBarnes. But she's also expresses much of the same interest in Marvel's leading ladies including Kamala Khan who she refers to as "Best Girl". Gwen also unabashedly claims that she'd let [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Dinah Lance]] kick her in the face then [[CasualKink thank her for it.]] Then ''Gwenpool Strikes Back'' #2 confirms she's bisexual, where she and Deadpool discuss hooking up with both Mr. and Mrs. Fantastic. Her arc in ''Webcomic/LoveUnlimited2022'' has her initially try to set up a love triangle between herself, Wither, and Elixir, and after failing, falls in love with Julie Power. Only not really, as she discovers that she's aroace (asexual and aromantic).

->'''Wade:''' What about you be the bisexual unicorn they've been looking for and seduce them both?
->'''Gwen:''' Hah! The editors'll NEVER allow such a disruption into an A-list super hero marriage!

* CoolPet: Both Gwen and Wade see him as this. He's a shark the size of a dog, and treated almost like one.

* AmbiguouslyBi: She once briefly dated [[Characters/XForce Quentin Quire]] of the X-Men, has an open crush on ComicBook/MilesMorales, and was once distracted by the FemaleGaze of both [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]] and ComicBook/BuckyBarnes.

Gwen also unabashedly claims that she'd let [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Dinah Lance]] kick her in the face then [[CasualKink thank her for it.]]

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the ''Rocket Raccoon & Groot'' series, she comments on her ClothingDamage promoting violence against actual women. In her own series (and especially her ''Champions'' appearance), she shies away from bringing such things into comics, and is apolitical. She sees addressing real life issues as taking away from the appeal of comics. The tie-in also portrays her as a bit of a selfie-obsessed millennial, which is something that is all but dropped from her character after that.

* SadClown: Her adorable, bubbly, fangirl-y persona just makes the truth that in her world, she was a miserable, friendless loser who ''knew'' how empty her life was hit that much harder.

* {{Mutant}}: What she retcons herself into as a way to safeguard her existence when her series ends. She's mutant enough that she lives on Krakoa and sometimes shows up as a background character for various X-Men related titles including the last fight sequence for ComicBook/XOfSwords.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Her past life reeks of someone with depression. She's fatalistic and hopeless with low self esteem, has trouble communicating her worries, has all but given up on improving herself and instead uses unhealthy coping mechanisms to get by.

* HollywoodNerd: Gwen's a shut-in NEET who gets little to no physical activity. Despite this, she has [[ShesGotLegs toned, shapely legs]], no excess fat on her, flawless skin and [[LuminescentBlush naturally-occuring blush makeup]], and of course [[MostCommonSuperPower a perky, if comparatively rational bust]].

* MostCommonSuperpower: Averted; she's of average size. In Issue #3 of ''Gwenpool Strikes Back'', she poses for a pin-up shot and demands the artist "give me a D-cup!", but remains completely normal size.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]: Her pink highlights inspired the costumer to do a pink outfit - using all the spare fabric in that color was a plus!

* ArcVillainess: She's the main villaine of the ''Beyond the Fourth Wall'' arc.

* KnifeNut: Whenever she has an opportunity to use her katanas.

* LeotardOfPower: With long sleeves and a hood, but it definitely still fits ([[{{Pun}} quite]] [[SensualSpandex tightly]], in fact.)

-->'''Gwen''': The people are paying good money! Give them a show!\\
'''Cecil''': Your wealthy mutant clients probably don't want you to blow up robots on their lawn. \\
'''Gwen''': Not them! The people who paid $4.99 for this comic!\\
'''Cecil''': Right, your [[TrumanShowPlot Truman Show thing]].

* MetaGuy: Her background lends to this. Just see her [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9KQakYw0C-k/V-xh4KZq87I/AAAAAAAAFC4/E_bRB1iirwAR6pw_Xh_1s9lGpqw6mdmAgCEw/s400/NickKhocke.PNG commenting on her]] ClothingDamage.

* RememberTheNewGuy: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] and played with. Gwen, being a literal [[SelfInsertFic Self Insert Character]], has a tendency to force her way into taking part of other Marvel Heroes' adventures. This tends to have varying levels of acceptance from the other characters.

An evil version of Gwen, from the future. Through the use of her powers, she's become a nigh-omnipotent, omniscient villain.

* ArcVillain: She's the main villain of the ''Beyond the Fourth Wall'' arc.

* FanNickname: "Dadroc".

* MediaTransmigration: Again she's a character form the "real" world that ended up in her favorite comic books.
