Deadpool aka the Merc with a Mouth aka the Crimson Comedian aka the Regeneratin’ Degenerate. Seems like he’s everywhere these days in the world of comics from a hit ongoing title with a second released this week to an appearance in “Wolverine: Origins” courtesy of Ryan Reynolds with a spinoff in the works. Old Wade Wilson’s come a long way since first appearing in “New Mutants #98”. As Wade fans know, the character draws inspiration from Teen Titans villain Deathstroke (whose real name SLADE Wilson should be an obvious clue).
Like a lot of fans, I was a bit disappointed that Deadpool didn’t appear in his traditional red costume and only hope they plan on keeping it for the spinoff movie. The only question is if they can pull it off on screen or wind up with another Spidey Green Goblin costume fiasco. I’ve recently become aware of the G.I. Joe character Wild Weasel and thought I’d just share another possible visual inspiration. If the filmmakers can get something similar to this, I’d be satisfied enough.
