From assassins and shoguns to women, teens, babies, and dogs, here are the best Deadpool variants, ranked from coolest to weirdest. This does not include other people who acted as Deadpool, such as his children.
15) Classic Deadpool
The classic Deadpool sits in the top spot as the “coolest,” especially if you ask him. He is the Merc with a Mouth, with a sense of humor that drives even Spider-Man nuts, and makes Wolverine want to do nothing but hurt him even more. However, at the same time, the regular Deadpool is also the most resilient of all variants, and he was one of the only ones who could stand up to and stop his deadliest variant, Dreadpool, in the original Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe.
14) Lady Deadpool
Lady Deadpool is Wanda Wilson from Earth-3010. She is a female variant of Wade Wilson from her Earth and became a hero when she joined a group of rebels fighting against loyalists in a war in her world. Deadpool ends up helping her take out General America with Headpool’s assistance, and then the two end up teaming up in the Deadpool Corps. She is as irritating as Deadpool, but she at least has a cool spaceship she flies around that Earth-616 Deadpool called the Bea Arthur (after the Golden Girls star).
13) Kidpool
Kidpool is Wade Wilson from Earth-10330, and this variant, as the name suggests, is a kid version of the Merc with a Mouth. This version was a new student at the Xavier Orphanage for Troubled Boys in that world, but he didn’t have superpowers like other kids there, so he was left lonely and isolated. He ended up finishing his time there when he got into a fight with the other students at the prom, and both Logan and Mistress Storm took the other kids’ sides. He also has cool weapons, including lightsaber-type swords he stole from the Danger Room. This is the original Kidpool, and there is a different Kidpool now in Marvel Comics as a girl.
12) Venompool
Venompool is the Deadpool from Earth-90211. In this world, Galactus hired Deadpool to kill the Beyonder, but when Deadpool found Ghium, they began to party instead. During one of these parties, Spider-Man showed up and asked Beyonder to remove the symbiote from his body. He did, and Venom then merged with Deadpool to create Venompool. The two desperately wanted to be heroes, but they couldn’t stop killing bad guys. Like the 616 version of Deadpool, this version was annoying, and this weighed on Venom, and the two ended up needing therapy to deal with their problems.
11) Deadpool Pulp
Deadpool Pulp was a comic book series that introduced the world to the Wade Wilson of Earth-10310. In this world, Wade was around during World War II and joined the military to kill bad people for fun. However, he was captured and became a prisoner of war in a Japanese POW camp, where he was tortured constantly for a year. He escaped by eating his own thumbs and then killing his tormentor before stealing his katanas and mask to use in the future as a mercenary.
10) Dreadpool
Dreadpool is the cruelest, deadliest, and evilest version of Deadpool in history. He was the Deadpool from Earth-12101, and the X-Men tried to cure his insanity by bringing him to a doctor for help. However, that doctor was Psycho-Man, and his attempt to brainwash Deadpool failed; instead, it killed his inner voices. Without the voices in his head, Deadpool realized he lived within a comic book and finally decided to end everything. Dreadpool was the lead in Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, and he killed everyone before targeting other Earths and going to war with the Deadpool Corps.
9) Dead Man Wade
Dead Man Wade was the Deadpool on Earth-295, which is the Age of Apocalypse future. This Deadpool was a genuine villain, and he was one of Apocalypse’s Pale Riders, where he teamed with Danielle Moonstar, the former New Mutants member who loved to torment him. However, unlike even his own Pale Riders teammates, he was immoral and had no problem killing and hurting innocent people while on missions for Apocalypse. He died, but was resurrected and worked with Weapon Omega later before becoming one of the villains helping Dreadpool to fight the Deadpool Corps.
8) Ultimate Deadpool
Ultimate Deadpool was Wadey Wilson, the Deadpool from the Ultimates Universe, Earth-1610. He fought in the Wakanda Wars in the early 1990s and was severely injured during that battle. Unlike this world’s Deadpool, who is ravaged by cancer blisters, Ultimate Deadpool has no skin on his face, and part of his skull is missing. He was a villain and was actually a member of the Reavers who attacked the X-Men in that world. He was later part of the Evil Deadpool Corps, working with Dreadpool.
