Deadpool (a.k.a. Wade Wilson) originated in Creator/MarvelComics and has since appeared across various Franchise/MarvelUniverse media properties and multiple ongoing ''Deadpool'' series. He was created by artist/writer Creator/RobLiefeld and writer Creator/FabianNicieza for ''ComicBook/NewMutants'' #98 (February 1991) as a mercenary pursuing a bounty on ComicBook/{{Cable}}. Initially a CaptainErsatz of Creator/DCComics' ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} the Terminator (a.k.a. Slade Wilson) and a villain with a sense of humor, further appearances developed him into a distinct character who graduated from NinetiesAntiHero to HeroicComedicSociopath. Sometimes he's a superhero, sometimes he's a supervillain, but most times he's running through the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor. Deadpool is nicknamed "The [[ProfessionalKiller Merc]] with the [[MotorMouth Mouth]]" and is known for {{dual wielding}} with [[KatanasAreJustBetter katanas]], [[GunsAkimbo guns]], or [[SwordAndGun katanas plus guns]]; his red and black mask and costume; speaking with yellow speech bubbles; loving [[BloodKnight violence and murder]]; [[PopCulturedBadass referencing pop culture]]; his [[BlackComedy dark]] and [[SurrealHumor surreal]] sense of humor; and BreakingTheFourthWall.

Wade Wilson has a MultipleChoicePast, but his most consistent comic book origin story is being a [[BadassNormal former special forces soldier]] who worked as a mercenary assassin until he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, then entered the Canadian Department K's [[HumanWeapon Weapon X]] program after all conventional treatments failed. Hoping to get cured and become a hero, Wade received an experimental treatment derived from ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, a [[ComicBook/{{XMen}} mutant]] with a HealingFactor who has a history with Weapon X. Wade gained [[EmpoweredBadassNormal enhanced physical abilities]] along with Wolverine's healing factor, but with a twist -- Wade's healing factor rapidly repairs and replicates cells, so it cures his cancer, then quickly brings the cancer cells back, and eradicates them again and again. This ongoing process [[BodyHorror ruined his outward appearance]] and his mental stability, which wasn't helped by torturous "experiments" under Dr. Killebrew and his assistant Francis Fanny a.k.a. Ajax. Wade fell in love with the personified [[TheGrimReaper Death]] as he longed for his pain to end. The test subjects ran a betting ''pool'' for how quickly each patient would be ''dead'' -- the "deadpool" -- leading to Wade's MeaningfulRename when he broke out of the program. As Deadpool, he resumed his [[PsychoForHire mercenary life]], initially as a PunchClockVillain before finding satisfaction in saving lives... sometimes, but mostly taking them.

Deadpool's fourth wall breaks began in his first ongoing series with writer Creator/JoeKelly. After repeated mental breakdowns, Deadpool became aware of, started acknowledging, or developed delusions about being a comic book character. Deadpool began communicating with caption boxes for his inner monologue, making {{aside comment}}s to his readers, and commenting on living in a comic book, much to the chagrin of non-medium aware characters. This became one of the defining traits of the character and his comics with writer [[Creator/ChristopherPriestComics Christopher Priest]]. DependingOnTheWriter, the [[SlidingScaleOfFourthWallHardness hardness of Deadpool's fourth wall]] varies and is sometimes completely solid. His fourth wall breaks are treated by [[FourthWallObserver other characters as part of his insanity]], and sometimes [[InsaneEqualsViolent his insanity]] includes in-universe hallucinations and delusions of being a comic book character; however, he does not have wall-breaking superpowers like ComicBook/SheHulk and [[ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Gwenpool]]. {{Flanderization}} in some appearances turns this into his primary trait.

Deadpool began [[WolverinePublicity appearing in multiple comics every month]] starting in 2008 and has crossed over into other media. He is associated with Cable, including their series ''ComicBook/CableAndDeadpool'', and other mutant characters like the ComicBook/XMen, [[ComicBook/UncannyXForce Uncanny X-Force]], and Wolverine. Deadpool is not a mutant himself in the main comic book continuity. In- and out-of-universe, he has been compared to ComicBook/SpiderMan due to similarities in costumes and quipping, and they co-starred in the series ''ComicBook/SpiderManDeadpool''. He has various [[Characters/{{Deadpool}} allies and enemies]] depending on the series and its creative and editorial team. Deadpool has had romances and marriages with several women and one-sided flirtations with numerous men; has one biological daughter in the main continuity, Eleanor "Ellie" Camacho; and has many alternate selves along with clones made from his DNA.

----
!! Deadpool's character tropes include the following:

[[folder:Tropes]]
* ArchEnemy:
** T-Ray, whom Deadpool calls the "the-''loathe''-of-my-life," isn't just a fellow mercenary and [[GreenEyedMonster jealous]] jerkass out to kill Deadpool as a professional rival. T-Ray targets Deadpool's supporting characters, enlists Typhoid Mary who {{bed trick}}s Deadpool, publicly kicks Deadpool's ass after he's traumatized by Typhoid, plays vicious headgames, and in the TwistEnding to Joe Kelly's run [[spoiler:claims to be the ''real'' Wade Wilson]]. And he wears a stupid bandage on his nose.
** In Deadpool's backstory, Dr. Killebrew used Wade as a human test subject with the sadistic assistance of his [[TheHeavy strongarm]] Francis Fanny aka Ajax [[labelnote:film]]In the first ''[[Film/Deadpool2016 Deadpool]]'' film, he and Dr. Killebrew became the {{composite character}} renamed Francis Freeman aka Ajax[[/labelnote]]. Wade was DrivenToSuicide by the unending medical torture and fell in love with Death herself, but his repeated attempts to "join" her were thwarted to keep him alive for more experiments. Then Wade realized he could provoke "Francis" into killing him. It worked too well; Ajax murdered other patients to torment Wade, then ripped out Wade's heart. Wade's desire for vengeance kept him from Death's embrace; his heart regenerated, but his sanity was broken. Wade became "Deadpool" and seemingly killed Ajax. In Kelly's ''Deadpool'' run, Ajax resurfaces and kills Deadpool-- but Deadpool has PurposeDrivenImmortality to kill Ajax. Wade's [[VengefulGhost old murdered friends]] believe Deadpool's vendetta is their UnfinishedBusiness, and they goad him into dropping his ongoing non-murdering hero attempts so he'll fulfill his destiny and kill Ajax. Years later, Francis comes back ''again'' when Thanos and Deadpool clash over Death.
** Madcap and Deadpool are both unstable pranksters with regenerative powers. Madcap's mind accidentally gets fused into Deadpool's after Thor lightning-zaps them into ashes ({{it makes sense in context}}). Unbeknownst to Deadpool, the new "white caption box" voice in his mind is actually Madcap inside him. After they're literally separated from each other, Madcap is emotionally damaged and turns vengeful. He tries to ruin Deadpool's life and reputation by framing him for murders he didn't commit. The feud only stops when Deadpool ruins his own life.
* BadassTransplant: While Deadpool's combat and weapons skills are 100% home grown, his regenerative healing powers are due to an injection of Wolverine's DNA by the Weapon X program, giving him Wolverine's mutant power. Deadpool's occasional claims of being a mutant himself aren't true.
* BaldOfAwesome: DependingOnTheArtist, Deadpool usually lacks hair because his body is constantly ruined by cancer and rebuilt by his healing factor.
* BlessedWithSuck: Deadpool is essentially a humanoid cancer. His HealingFactor cures the "Big C" -- then brings it right back again, leaving him disfigured and insane. He can heal from anything -- but being unable to stay dead puts a cramp on his romance with Death. You can cut his head off -- but he still won't shut up.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Deadpool started breaking the fourth wall in his first ongoing series; since then, this often gets [[{{Flanderization}} flanderized]] into his primary trait.
** Deadpool's initial breaks were {{aside comment}}s and {{aside glance}}s to his readers commenting on the plot.
** Deadpool is aware that his comics are published by Marvel Comics and mocks Marvel accordingly, accurately references specific issue numbers, predicts upcoming story events, and lampshades narrative tropes in use. He describes the LetsYouAndHimFight plot in ''Black Panther vs. Deadpool'' #2:
---> '''Deadpool:''' It's like I ''said,'' B.P., there's a ''rhythm'' to these super hero team-ups. First, ''the small misunderstanding.'' Then, ''the big fight'' (which was a ''tie'' by the way). So you'd better patch me up ''quick.'' Because we ''both'' know what happens in issue #3.
** Comic books usually use caption boxes for narration, off-page dialogue, or editor's notes. Deadpool has "little yellow boxes" for his internal narrative and communication with his readers, though he sometimes speaks out loud when he thinks he's "thinking".
---> '''Deadpool:''' ''[caption]'' Do I still think in those little yellow boxes?\\
'''Deadpool:''' ''[speaking]'' I'm good.\\
'''Deadpool:''' ''[caption]'' ''Oooh,'' I missed you, little yellow boxes! What ''fun'' we shall have together!
** Deadpool responds to editorial captions that aren't his own little yellow boxes. From ''The Amazing [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Spider-Man]]'' vol. 1 #611:
--->'''Deadpool:''' For all you kids reading at home, make sure you ''wear a helmet'' whenever you steal a motorcycle, toss explosives into a coffee shop, or give someone a "special hug."*\\
'''[Editorial sidebar]''' ''*The management does not endorse theft, explosives use, or "special hugging"''--\\
'''Deadpool:''' ''Enough with the sidebars!''
** He talks about events in other comics that he has no in-universe way to know about, such as becoming one of the only characters in the entire Marvel universe that knows about Spider-Man's deal with Mephisto... er, besides Mephisto that is.
* CaptainErsatz: Deadpool began as one of these to DC's Deathstroke, another masked mercenary assassin with a gritty name; Fabian Nicieza noticed the similarities in Rob Liefeld's initial sketches, hence the real name ''Wade'' Wilson while Deathstroke is ''Slade'' Wilson. After his character development, Deadpool lampshaded this and used it as an excuse for why he hadn't appeared in a Marvel/DC Crossover. When he finally appeared in one, guess who he encountered... In tribute to this origin, Joe Kelly (Deadpool's first ongoing writer) wrote a story where the Earth-3 Deathstroke acts like and is implied to be Deadpool. In Deathstroke's own early 90s book, a "long lost half-brother" named "Wade Le Farge" (Forge? Farce?) showed up wanting to become Deathstroke and take away everything that belonged to him in gruesomely irrational fashion.
* CatchPhrase: During Priest's run, Deadpool tells people that the answer to their first question is "SHADDUP."
* CharacterizationMarchesOn:
** In the first ''Deadpool'' ongoing, Deadpool repeatedly expressed disgust at the thought of Creator/BeaArthur naked. Starting with ''ComicBook/CableAndDeadpool'', he's known for his humongous crush on her and thinking she's the sexiest woman ever. He has posters of her, tapes her face over pinups, apparently has a shrine to her, and frequently references her in loving terms.
** In the early to mid 2000s, Deadpool expresses patriotic sentiments about America, calls himself a red-blooded American, addresses then-president George W. Bush as his own president, talks about growing up in Ohio, and more. The Canadian government that gave him his healing factor isn't his own. But then in 2008, as if Deadpool and his readers got kicked in the head by a {{retcon}}ning moose, he's [[CanadaEh Canadian-born, Canadian-bred, proud to be Canadian,]] is confused about historic American presidents but knows all of Canada's prime ministers, and is now included on lists of famous fictional Canadians and portrayed in live-action films by Canadian Creator/RyanReynolds.
* DarkAgeOfSupernames: Deadpool lampshades how his own name is dark and gritty when he mocks the unfortunately-named Kraven for having a not-so-fearsome name:
--> '''Deadpool:''' Note: ''"Deadpool"'' has the word ''"dead"'' in it. Ooooh... ''scaaary!'' Here are some others... ''Death''lok... ''Death''trap, that jerk... Doctor ''Doom!'' Now you try!
* DependingOnTheArtist:
** Underneath his mask, Wade's appearance has ranged from "slightly bad acne" to "humanoid wad of cancer" to "oddly enough resembles ComicBook/TheThing" to "mistaken for [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] cosplay". Justified in that his body is constantly in flux which can change his appearance from time to time.
** Deadpool's costume details change with the artist, such as the size and shape of the black patches over his eyes, whether his mask is completely fitted or has a little tuft/flap/thingy on the back, having PaintedOnPants or more plausible materials, the kind of gloves and boots he has, and the number and specific types of weapons he carries.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Numerous traits, such as:
** BreakingTheFourthWall or staying in-universe; some of his story arcs and series have ''no'' fourth wall breaks or only tease them, such as ''ComicBook/UncannyXForce'' using Deadpool pointing at a security camera as a break out fake out.
** He's consistently depicted as [[InsaneEqualsViolent violent because of insanity]], but the intensity and type of insanity, how it manifests, and the terms other characters apply to him vary by writer as they choose different ways to {{avert|ed trope}} leaving it {{ambiguous|disorder}}. He's been called a "[[HeroicComedicSociopath sociopath]]" for lacking empathy, enjoying violence, and making jokes at inappropriate times. He's had "schizophrenia" in the form of hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, and constantly [[TalkingToThemself talking to himself]]. These supposed diagnoses [[HollywoodPsych don't keep pace with real-world diagnostic criteria]].
** Which side of the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor he's leaning towards that story arc, issue, or panel -- a JerkWithAHeartOfGold AntiHero, an AntiVillain, or back-and-forth.
** Who is the ''real'' Wade Wilson in his MultipleChoicePast.
* HairTriggerTemper:
** After his first series, Deadpool decides the sexiest woman in the world is Creator/BeaArthur, and he reacts violently when he hears otherwise.
** He ''killed'' an A.I.M. goon for saying the ''Franchise/StarWars'' prequel trilogy was better than the original trilogy and then forced someone at gunpoint to repeat his Jar Jar Binks insults.
* IfICantHaveYou: In their early appearances together, Deadpool is violent and possessive towards his ex-girlfriend, Vanessa Carlylse.
** In ''ComicBook/XForce'', Deadpool acts as Mr. Tolliver's enforcer when Vanessa poses as Domino to infiltrate Cable's X-Force team. Deadpool beats her as a warning to remember the job and not fall for Cable. When Cable and Vanessa-as-Domino come across the ''real'' imprisoned Domino, Deadpool sneaks up behind Vanessa and stabs her in the back.
** Vanessa stays on the run, but Deadpool keeps tracking her down and threatening her. He's on her trail in ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'' and refers to her as "my ex-squeeze" when fighting Wolverine. When he finds Vanessa and her new boyfriend [[note]]Garrison Kane, who was in the Weapon X program with Deadpool[[/note]], Deadpool accuses him of "stealing my girl". Vanessa points out the possessive language and fights back as Deadpool tries to kill them both. Wolverine arrives just in time to save her from getting Deadpool's thrown katana in her heart.
* IKnowMortalKombat: Deadpool is an avid gamer and learned from ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'' how to sock Kitty Pride with a {{Shoryuken}}.
* InNameOnly: The ComicBook/UltimateMarvel version of Deadpool has little-to-nothing to do with the classic version, being little more than a grotesque (even uglier than the classic one), mutant-hating psychopath.
* MeaningfulRename: At the Weapon X "Hospice" for dying test subjects still undergoing tortuous experiments, the imprisoned patients put odds in a betting ''pool'' for how long it'd take before each of them was ''dead''-- the "deadpool". After Wade's ArchEnemy Ajax ripped out his heart, Wade's mind snapped and he declared he was no longer Wade Wilson; he was Deadpool. Deadpool led a breakout from the facility and seemingly killed Ajax.
* MotorMouth: He's known in the Marvel Universe as the Merc with a Mouth for a reason. Other characters comment on his constant chatter often.
** In Deadpool's first two appearances, Cable tells him he talks too much, and Garrison Kane thinks "his mouth runs a mile a minute", establishing this trait from the start.
** Deadpool is kidnapped by a DeathTrap enthusiast creatively named Death Trap and chained down underneath a [[ItMakesSenseInContext giant teddy bear]], which descends lower every time Deadpool speaks and will eventually smother him. Deadpool breaks all his limbs to get out of the trap rather than simply shutting up. Because of his constant blathering, the teddy bear stopped gradually descending and, as his captor put it:
---> '''Deathtrap:''' Fascinating! Teddy has approached ramming speed.
** During a face off with ComicBook/ThePunisher in issue #55 of the first ongoing series, Deadpool says even he gets tired his own talking:
---> '''Deadpool:''' I just drone on and on. Sometimes I just don't know when to shut up. And that's why I have to kill you... so I can pay my phone bill!
* MultipleChoicePast:
** Various details of Deadpool's early life and family upbringing aren't compatible. He's an American born in Ohio or a Canadian born in Canada. He was raised by an asshole single mother without knowing who his father was, by both parents until his father walked out, by his asshole father after his mother died of cancer and until a punk friend shot his father dead, or by two parents who lived into adulthood until Deadpool was tricked into carrying out a hit on them. Other life experiences before becoming Deadpool or directly leading into it are told in incompatible ways.
** In the TwistEnding of Joe Kelly's run, ArchEnemy T-Ray claims Deadpool was once [[spoiler:named Jack and the ''real'' Wade was a teacher who married his high school sweetheart, Mercedes]]. Mercedes and Wade rescued "the monster" Jack from a frozen river, Jack wanted to change his identity into Wade's and grew obsessed with Mercedes, but accidentally killed Mercedes when disposing of Wade. This supposedly [[spoiler:broke Deadpool's mind and confused his identity into thinking he was Wade, while the actual Wade returned to life as T-Ray]]. Near the end of Frank Tieri's run, Deadpool and T-Ray clash again and Deadpool seemingly kills T-Ray after getting reason to believe T-Ray's claims were all lies. The storyline returns in ''ComicBook/CableAndDeadpool'' by Deadpool co-creator Fabian Nicieza, with an ArmedWithCanon fourth wall break dismissing the twist.
* WolverinePublicity: Starting in 2008, Deadpool began rivaling good ol' Wolverine himself as Marvel's Poster Child with multiple simultaneous comic books of his own ''plus'' so-called guest appearances that are sometimes with characters he's never met or just for a single panel.
* WouldHitAGirl: Deadpool has stalked, beaten, and killed or attempted to kill many female characters, including [[IfICantHaveYou nearly killing his ex-girlfriend Vanessa]] and infamously uppercutting Kitty Pryde to provoke Wolverine into [[HitMeDammit hitting him]].
* WouldntHurtAChild: Deadpool ''will not'' kill kids, and he'll kill people who do.
** In his first ongoing series, Garrison Kane murders a mutant child with out-of-control powers after Deadpool calms the boy down and reassures him. This opens Deadpool's eyes to what the current Weapon X incarnation is about and contributes to his RoaringRampageOfRevenge against them.
** In his second ongoing series, the willingness of "Evil Deadpool" to kill children defines how different the two Deadpools are. The recap page on #48 highlights this:
---> '''Recap:''' [Evil Deadpool]'s kidnapped the children of the NYC chief of police, intending to do the one thing Wade would never do... kill a kid.
** In ''ComicBook/UncannyXForce'', Deadpool is prepared to kill the newest incarnation of Apocalypse until he sees a child instead of an adult. It doesn't stop Fantomex, who murders Kid Apocalypse. Afterward, Deadpool is furious and [[Quotes/UncannyXForce gives a speech]] drawing the line on killing kids as something even ''he'' won't do.

[[quoteright:350:IMAGE]]

Deadpool's fourth wall breaks began in his first ongoing series with writer Creator/JoeKelly. After repeated mental breakdowns, Deadpool became aware of, started acknowledging, or developed delusions about being a comic book character. Deadpool began communicating with caption boxes for his inner monologue, making {{aside comment}}s to his readers, and commenting on living in a comic book, much to the chagrin of non-medium aware characters. This became one of the defining traits of the character and his comics with writer [[Creator/ChristopherPriestComics Christopher Priest]]. DependingOnTheWriter, the [[SlidingScaleOfFourthWallHardness hardness of Deadpool's fourth wall]] varies and is sometimes completely solid. His fourth wall breaks are treated by [[FourthWallObserver other characters as part of his insanity]], and sometimes [[AmbiguousDisorder his insanity]] includes in-universe hallucinations and delusions of being a comic book character; however, he does not have wall-breaking superpowers like ComicBook/SheHulk and [[ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Gwenpool]]. {{Flanderization}} in some appearances turns this into his primary trait.

!! Deadpool appears in these comic books:

* ''ComicBook/UncannyXForce'' volume 1: December 2010 to February 2013, appearing in most of the 35-issue ongoing series. Writer Creator/RickRemender puts Deadpool on a team led by Wolverine that does black ops work to protect mutants. Also appears in ''ComicBook/FearItself: Uncanny X-Force''.

*** During "Be a Team," Black Widow observes "don't know if we're friends or if I'm a fool," Deadpool hopefully wonders, "with benefits!?"
*** Deadpool's Spider-Man crush continues; when Spider-Man shows up, Deadpool hollers [[PortmanteauCoupleName "Spideypool!"]] and holds up an "I ''[heart]'' Spidey!" sign.

** During "Be a Team," the [[ConservationOfNinjutsu Hand]] are described as "hordes of faceless bad guys from a [[HighlyVisibleNinja ninja clan]]."
* FilkSong: One in "Deadpool: The Musical," and several in "Deadpool: The Musical 2":
** "Deadpool": "Gaston" from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast.'' Sung by Deadpool, a bartender, {{mooks}}, ComicBook/{{Rogue}}, ComicBook/BlackWidow, ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}, and [[Characters/SpiderManTheCharacter Spider-Man]]. It's a mix of Deadpool the {{heroic comedic sociopath}} singing as if it's his IAmSong, and everyone else focusing on the "sociopath" part to sing it as TheVillainSucksSong.
** [[IAmGreatSong "I'm Deadpool"]]: "You're Welcome" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}.'' Sung by Deadpool and his [[ThoughtCaption inner voice boxes]] in celebration of his violence and murder as he intimidates the mooks upon whom he inflicts those things.
** [[IAmBecomingSong "Part of a Team"]]: "Part of Your World" from ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989.'' Sung by Deadpool with reactions from ComicBook/{{Jubilee}} and [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesHumansNewTimeline Blind Al]].

Sung by Deadpool and comic book [[ComicBook/{{XMen}} X-Men]] ([[ComicBook/BeastMarvelComics Beast]], ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}, ComicBook/{{Jubilee}}, ComicBook/{{Rogue}}, and Characters/{{Wolverine}}).

** "A Whole New Team": "A Whole New World" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}.'' Sung by Deadpool and the film versions of Franchise/TheAvengers ([[Characters/MCUAntMan Ant-Man]], [[Characters/MCUBlackPanther Black Panther]], [[Characters/MCUBlackWidow Black Widow]], [[Characters/MCUCaptainAmerica Captain America]], [[Characters/MCUHawkeye Hawkeye]], [[Characters/MCUIronMan Iron Man]], [[Characters/MCUStarlord Star-Lord]], and [[Characters/MCUThor Thor]]).

** [[MassiveMultiplayerEnsembleNumber "Be a Team"]]: "I'll Make A Man Out of You" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}.'' Initially sung by Deadpool and fellow comic book Canadians [[Characters/AlphaFlight Puck and Sasquatch]] from ComicBook/AlphaFlight; then they're joined by the X-Men, the Avengers, and several other Marvel characters. The massive Marvel team-up battles [[FacelessGoons the Hand]], delighting Deadpool until they collectively agree he doesn't belong with any of them.
* FunWithSubtitles: The subtitles track includes bonus jokes during the end credits.
** In "Deadpool: The Musical", there are [[spoiler:more innuendos and a chimichanga recipe]].
** In "Deadpool: The Musical 2," there are conversational remarks to the audience and a spoiler warning because the mid-credits scene gives away the ending of [[spoiler:''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'']], followed by [[spoiler:a "recipe" using Aviation Gin (owned by Deadpool's film actor, Creator/RyanReynolds) and trivia about one of the props.]]
* GroinAttack: Complete with LampshadeHanging.
** In "Deadpool: The Musical", Deadpool drops to his knees and sings as he acts out the lyrics, "No one punches you right in the dick like Deadpool!" He leaves his victim clutching his groin in pain.
** During the "I'm Deadpool" song from "Deadpool: The Musical 2," Deadpool uses a slingshot that strikes with a [[TestYourStrengthGame carnival game]] bell sound and sings, "I hit this guy, right in the nuts, why do the fans seem to like that so much?"
* LosingYourHead: The [[OffWithHisHead beheading]] gag in "Deadpool: The Musical" is Deadpool demonstrating that he's "especially good at ''decapitating!''" and the severed head singing in response: "Heads roll for Deadpool!"
* {{Mooks}}: Dozens of stunt performers get their interchangeable asses kicked by Deadpool and the superheroes.
** "Deadpool: The Musical" uses the patrons of a {{bad guy bar}} for a {{bar brawl}}. The only one who gets a name in the credits is called "[[LosingYourHead Beheaded]]."
** "Deadpool: The Musical 2"
*** In the opening scene, Deadpool kills the first round of mooks before gun-wielding guards surround him. He asks if any of them saw the ''first'' Deadpool musical and warns them he "merc'd, like, [[LampshadeHanging twenty of you stunt guys]]."
*** Deadpool joins the X-Men to battle [[Characters/XMenRecurringCharacters Morlock]] mooks (Mooklocks?) with the exception of the recognizable [[TheBaroness Callisto]].
*** Thanks to the ninja masks for the Hand costumes, earlier mooks can return as {{faceless goons}}.
* TheMusical: As the titles say, these are short musicals. They open with dialogue before transitioning into singing mixed with speech; the "Deadpool: The Musical 2" characters have short conversations as they transition between songs.
* MusicalisInterruptus: Partway through the final song in "Deadpool: The Musical 2," the ensemble sings, "What happens now that we're owned by Disney?" They abruptly stop for a beat and an awkward cough before they resume as if nothing happened.
* NoFourthWall: Deadpool portrayals usually come without a fourth wall, and for these films the other characters show {{medium awareness}}, too.
** "Deadpool: The Musical":
*** Deadpool hears the soundtrack start, looks around the {{bad guy bar}} for where it's coming from, and says, "Ooo, was that a musical cue?"
*** After the bartender starts singing insults, Deadpool addresses the audience and says, "I've always wanted to be in a musical!"
*** Deadpool's white [[ThoughtCaption inner voice box]] from the comics speaks up to compliment him after he admires how Spider-Man's tights fit him, and he thanks it.
** "Deadpool: The Musical 2":
*** Deadpool's white and yellow inner voice boxes from the comics join him during "I'm Deadpool."
*** After Jubilee tells Deadpool he's not a superhero, he's an actual murderer, Deadpool turns to the camera for introspection as the music starts to play. Jubilee reacts with disbelief as she looks around for the music source, but he shoves her aside to begin singing "Part of a Team."
*** While singing "Part of a Team," Deadpool sings "breaking fourth walls only goes so far" as he walks up to his bedroom set's wall, which has a "closed set" warning sign that's scratched out with a scrawled "fourth wall" and an arrow pointing to the set door. He walks through the doorway and startles the actual film crew and production assistants who were watching the live filming feed, and fires his gun at the ceiling to scatter everyone except one unflappable camera operator.
*** After exchanging insults with [[Characters/AlphaFlight Puck]], Deadpool turns to the audience with a comment on Puck's attitude.
*** The "Be a Team" ensemble holds up one of the dead Hand ninjas and requests that the audience "please turn this dead guy into a meme."
*** At the time this fan film was made, the mix of Marvel characters seen in "Be a Team" had their official film and television rights scattered across multiple companies [[note]]Spider-Man with Sony, Deadpool and X-Men with Fox, Jessica Jones with Netflix, and the Avengers, Dr. Strange, and Guardians of the Galaxy with Disney; Disney had previously acquired Marvel in 2009, but would not acquire Fox until 2019[[/note]]. Partway through the song, the ensemble sings, "What happens now that we're owned by Disney?" There's a {{musicalis interruptus}} for a beat and an awkward cough before they resume as if nothing happened.
* OffWithHisHead: Deadpool enjoys beheading mooks with his katanas, and the films make jokes out of {{losing your head}} and {{severed head sports}}.
* OnlyAFleshWound:
** In "Deadpool: The Musical," Deadpool's reaction to getting shot through his gloveless hand is swearing, letting the audience see through the hole, shooting the shooter, then putting his glove back on over the injured hand like it's just an annoyance.
** In "Deadpool: The Musical 2," Deadpool isn't fazed by gunshot wounds and simply covers them with cute bandages on top of his costume, and he isn't slowed down after falling from the sky.
* [[invoked]]TheOtherDarrin: When Deadpool finds [[DefiantCaptive Jubilee]] tied to a chair after he finishes the first song in "Deadpool: The Musical 2," he asks her who she is and [[DiscussedTrope discusses why]]:
--> '''Deadpool:''' Who in the cameo are ''you'' supposed to be?\\
'''Jubilee:''' I'm Jubilee! I'm an X-Man, you moron. Are you gonna take this power-dampening collar off or--\\
'''Deadpool:''' No-no-no, mean girl, I mean ''which'' one are you? After all, you're played by a different Asian actress in every ''[[Film/XMenFilmSeries X-Men]]'' movie.\\
'''Jubilee:''' [[spoiler:''[a [[ExaggeratedTrope different Asian actress]]]'' I don't know what you're talking about.]]\\
'''Deadpool:''' [[spoiler:Fuckknuckles! You did it again!]]
* PassThePopcorn: Deadpool suddenly has a theater box of popcorn and [=3-D=] glasses in "Deadpool: The Musical" when he watches the superheroines in fight the mooks. He starts throwing handfuls of popcorn towards his mouth... his ''[[https://media1.tenor.com/images/d605962bc87da036a4d465028fc9381a/tenor.gif?itemid=11846290 mask-covered mouth]]''.
* PelvicThrust: A cringing mook in "Deadpool: The Musical 2" gets threatened at gunpoint to agree that Deadpool's junk, which is thrusting at the mook's eye level, looks great in his suit.
* PottyFailure: In "Deadpool: The Musical 2," Deadpool interrupts his singing to lampshade when he realizes one mook's {{quaking with fear}} led to a puddle on the floor.

You feel your knees start to shake--''[spoken]'' Did you just piss?!
* RecordNeedleScratch: As soon as the bar patrons see Deadpool walk in at the start of "Deadpool: The Musical," the bar music stops with this sound and the patrons look displeased.
* SatireAndSwitch: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]; the films start off straight with opening scenes of Deadpool interacting with other characters, then they switch into full parody mode when the singing begins.
* SeveredHeadSports: The [[OffWithHisHead beheading]] gag in "Deadpool: The Musical 2" is Deadpool sending a mook's head flying into a basketball hoop labeled "heads only!" which makes sounds and lights up when he sinks the head in the basket.
* TheStinger:
** The "Deadpool: The Musical" stinger features a cameo by [[spoiler:Wolverine ([[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1251112 Brian Danner]])]] who is unamused by Deadpool, so he [[spoiler:impales Deadpool's unicorn on his claws, threatens him, and gets hit on by Deadpool]].
** The "Deadpool: The Musical 2" stinger has a mid-credits scene of Deadpool [[spoiler:somehow snorting, with his mask still on, the dust of "snapped" superheroes from ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'']], and a post-credits scene where Deadpool picks up [[spoiler:his Infinity Gauntlet fleshlight which... squishes... and quotes Thanos's line from the ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' stinger, "Fine, I'll do it myself." Yep, it's ADateWithRosiePalms.]]
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: "Deadpool: The Musical 2" exaggerates this when Deadpool tosses to a confused mook what appears to be a foil-wrapped burrito labeled "extra spicy!" Instead of ditching it, the mook waits several seconds to unwrap the foil and reveals it's [[spoiler:a lettuce-garnished {{incredibly obvious bomb}} and the countdown is about to hit zero. He freezes in fear and the burrito bomb blows up him and the surrounding mooks.]]
* TwistEnding: Deadpool tries to join different superhero teams throughout "Deadpool: The Musical 2." It ends when Captain America asks post-fight where Deadpool is, and Deadpool emerges [[spoiler:flanked by Moana, Elsa, Snow White, Ariel, Belle, and Cinderella, and wearing a princess costume over his own costume. He announces, "Deadpool, Team Princess: confirmed!"]]

They don't accept his spooning-and-Series/{{Conan}} invite.

** ''[=DPTM2=]:''

** In ''DPTM'', there are [[spoiler:more innuendos and a chimichanga recipe]].
** In ''[=DPTM2=],'' there are conversational remarks to the audience and a spoiler warning because the mid-credits scene gives away the ending of [[spoiler:''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'']], followed by [[spoiler:a "recipe" using Aviation Gin (owned by Deadpool's film actor, Creator/RyanReynolds) and trivia about one of the props.]]
* GroinAttack:
** In ''DPTM'', Deadpool drops to his knees to punch an attacker right in the dick, leaving him clutching his groin in pain.
** During the "I'm Deadpool" song from ''[=DPTM2=],'' Deadpool uses a slingshot that strikes with a [[TestYourStrengthGame carnival game]] bell sound: "I hit this guy, right in the nuts, why do the fans seem to like that so much?"

** ''DPTM:''
*** Deadpool hears the soundtrack start, looks around the bar for where it's coming from, and says, "Ooo, was that a musical cue?"

** ''[=DPTM2=]:''

*** While singing "Part of a Team," Deadpool sings "breaking fourth walls only goes so far" as he walks up to the bedroom set wall, and ignores the "closed set" warning sign to which he has added "fourth wall" with an arrow to the set door. He walks through the doorway and startles the actual film crew and production assistants who were watching the live filming feed, and fires his gun at the ceiling to scatter everyone except one unflappable camera operator.

*** At the time this film was made, the mix of Marvel characters seen in "Be a Team" had film and television rights scattered across multiple companies [[note]]Spider-Man with Sony, Deadpool and X-Men with Fox, Jessica Jones with Netflix, and the Avengers, Dr. Strange, and Guardians of the Galaxy with Disney.[[/note]]. Partway through the song, the ensemble sings, "What happens now that we're owned by Disney?" There's a {{sudden soundtrack stop}} for a beat and an awkward cough before they resume.

** In ''DPTM,'' Deadpool's reaction to getting shot through his gloveless hand is swearing, letting the audience see through the hole, and shooting the shooter, then he puts his glove back on over the injured hand.
** In ''[=DPTM2=],'' Deadpool isn't fazed by gunshot wounds that he simply covers with cute bandages, or by falling from the sky.

** The ''DPTM'' stinger features a cameo by [[spoiler:Wolverine (Brian Danner)]] who is unamused by Deadpool, so he [[spoiler:impales Deadpool's unicorn on his claws, threatens him, and gets hit on by Deadpool]].
** The ''[=DPTM2=]'' stinger has a mid-credits scene of Deadpool [[spoiler:somehow snorting, with his mask still on, the dust of "snapped" superheroes from ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'']], and a post-credits scene where Deadpool picks up [[spoiler:his Infinity Gauntlet fleshlight and quotes Thanos's line from the ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' stinger, "Fine, I'll do it myself."]].

** As he faces this round for "I'm Deadpool," he sings:

* TheOtherDarrin: Deadpool finds Jubilee tied to a chair after he finishes "I'm Deadpool" and asks her who she is. She angrily names herself and he clarifies:

::The second Jubilee actress (Kaitlyn Tanimoto) finishes this scene, and the first Jubilee actress (Kate Le) returns for the rest of the film.

''Deadpool: The Musical'' and ''Deadpool: The Musical 2'' are {{fan film}}s that mix Marvel characters with [[SongParody parodies of songs]] from Creator/{{Disney}} animated films. The characters are drawn from a blend of ''Film/Deadpool2016,'' Creator/MarvelComics, and the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse rather than a single continuity. As if they're in a musical, SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} and the other characters break into song as he violently tears through {{mooks}}. In the first, Deadpool strokes his ego as the "merc-with-a-mouth" in a parody of "Gaston" from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast''. In the second, he feels like something is missing from his life as a superhero wannabe, and he and his supporting cast sing parodies of multiple songs: "You're Welcome" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}},'' "Part of Your World" from ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989,'' "Belle" from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast,'' "A Whole New World" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}},'' and "I'll Make A Man Out of You" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}.''

You feel your knees start to shake--''[spoken]'' [[PottyFailure Did you just piss?!]]
