Heads up: We’ll be discussing some key plot spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine in this article.
Deadpool & Wolverine is the latest of a number of multiversal comic book movies and shows to pop up in recent years, and if Deadpool is crossing the multiverse, then it only makes sense for him to run into some of the many other versions of Deadpool that exist in the Marvel Comics stories, among the many cameos that this film has in store. It’s an encounter that’s been teased by the marketing, which has shown off Dogpool and Lady Deadpool, but there are plenty of others here as well.
But these folks aren’t together incidentally–they’re the Deadpool Corps! What with Deadpool being essentially an in-universe parody of other Marvel heroes, it only makes sense that he would have his own sort of multiversal group like the Spider Society [link probably] that we saw in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Like the Spider Society, the Deadpool Corps consists of alternate versions of Deadpool that are frequently extremely different from the main one.
With Spider-Verse being animated, they were able to get really wacky with it and choose extra zany spider-folks like Peter Parkedcar, who’s literally a sentient car with spider powers. With Deadpool & Wolverine being a live-action film, by contrast, the ones we see here are all at least human. But they’re certainly not all Ryan Reynolds.
The Deadpool Corps were introduced in 2010, during a 12-issue storyline in which they’re tasked with dealing with a cosmic entity from before the Big Bang called the Awareness. This entity absorbs the consciousness of anything it comes in contact with, and the Elders of the Universe, like the Grandmaster, are unable to stop it. But the Deadpool Corps–because they’re so weird and unhinged–aren’t affected by it, allowing them to get closer to it than anyone else in the multiverse. And just for fun, there’s also a bad version of this group in the comics aptly called the Evil Deadpool Corps–which was founded by a pile of Deadpool’s discarded body parts that fused together in a dumpster thanks to his regenerative healing factor.
The Deadpool Corps of Deadpool & Wolverine don’t have all that going on, though–like most everybody else from the Void, they just work for Cassandra. Which means our heroes have to fight them, making for a delightfully violent mess and a true highlight of the film.
Now, let’s go through the Deadpool Corps members we met in Deadpool & Wolverine.
