Summary
Deadpoolis a character who has committed a slew of atrocities, knowledge that would surprise absolutely nobody who has read any of his comics or seen any of his movie appearances. Wade Wilson is purely anti-heroic, which means he manages to do a lot of good things while generally being a pretty bad person.
There is a huge list of deeds to pick from for what is the worst thingDeadpoolhas managed over his many years in Marvel Comics. Since the Merc with the Mouth first entered the Weapon X Program all those years agoand donned his iconic mask, he has become legendary on and off the page for his disastrous exploits.
6Using His Child As Bait
Wade Wilson is pretty despicable, and when it comes to making plans, he’ll generally put anybody he has to in danger to get the job done. Of course, even many Deadpool fans never expected this to include his daughter. When Deadpool first uncovered he had a daughter, Ellie, he didn’t exactly seem delighted, and thecomedy of this could be played off inDeadpool 3.
But that’s still no excuse for using her as a piece of bait to lure MadCap to him. Ellie was saved in time, not by Deadpool but by Quicksilver, but even so, Deadpool’s disregard for one of his children, putting her life on the line when there was no need to, is one of the most despicable acts he’s pulled off over the years.
5Killing Agent Coulson
One of the more infamous moments in Marvel Comics history is the day that Captain America said “Hail Hydra” and was revealed to be working with the criminal organization. As he worked towards enacting an alien invasion of Earth, he hired a bunch of heroes who weren’t actually such heroes. This new team included, of course, Deadpool.
While just joining a team of evil Avengers set to destroy the Earth is already pretty nasty for Deadpool, it gets worse from there. Obviously, the team didn’t succeed in destroying the Earth, but Deadpool did stop the one person who had uncovered Cap’s secret Hydra affiliation from spilling the beans. Unfortunately, this person was Agent Coulson, a beloved SHIELD agent who was murdered in cold blood by Deadpool, though this wasn’t replicated in the MCU, due toDeadpool’s first movies not being part of that universe.
4Mistreating His Friends
Initially, this doesn’t sound as bad as murder. But when Deadpool mistreats somebody, he does it on a scale hitherto unimaginable. Being a friend of Deadpool is often more akin to extended psychological torture than anything else. Other superheroes become frequently exasperated by Deadpool, buteven his most loyal friendsare brutally mistreated.
Blind Al, whom Deadpool has often lived with in the past, is usually his prisoner instead of a happy roommate, and Deadpool kills anyone who tries to help her escape and tortures her if she even considers the idea. Additionally, there is Hydra Bob, who became one of Deadpool’s best friends, and his sidekick, whom Deadpool has put through constant mental and physical anguish over their adventures together. This has included shooting him, forcing Bob into horrific situations and even making him ride on the outside of a moving aircraft.
3Killing His Ex
Even for Deadpool, this one was surprisingly random and cold-blooded. At one point, Wade Wilson was dating a tattoo artist called Anastasia. Throughout their relationship, the two treated each other horrifically. It wasn’t all one-sided terror in this particular relationship to be fair to Wade.
However, that being said, he did murder her. After Anastasia turned on him and buried him alive, she came back and dug him up again because she was desperate for help. Deadpool insisted that he couldn’t trust her, so she handed him a gun and told him to shoot her if he really couldn’t trust her, so he did. One of the more brutal and shocking endings to a relationship in comic history, Deadpool would go on to marry Anastasia only to find outit was Copycat impersonating her, and that Anastasia really was dead.
2Working For Galactus
There are many morally gray figures in the Marvel Universe, like Deadpool himself, andmany of his friends like Cable. But there are other figures whose all-encompassing evil is so devastating that simply the idea of not working actively against them is despicable. Galactus is one of these beings, as he literally destroys whole planets frequently.
This should make Galactus too evil for even Deadpool to team up with, but, despite knowing everything about Galactus and his work, Deadpool agrees to be his herald. He mentioned that he was pretty excited to help end whole civilizations, which makes it hard to look upon him as a hero in any shape or form.
1He Killed Everyone
There was once a comic book series titled “Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe” and he actually followed through. Throughout the series, Deadpool killed, ate, and even wore heroes’ skins as clothing.
Deadpool goes through the entire lot, able to take down the entire Fantastic Four team, Wolverine, even Thor doesn’t manage to survive his wrath. It all happened because a villain tried to brainwash Deadpool and accidentally made him even more insane, leading to that same villain becoming Wade’s first victim on his crazed bloodbath journey. When you’ve killed the entire universe of superheroes, there’s pretty much nowhere left to go in terms of evil deeds, and Deadpool topped the whole list of possibilities with this one, far worse than anythingother shady characters like Nick Fury have managed.
