Strongest Versions Of Deadpool

Key Takeaways

Deadpool has had numerous variants, from his daughter Ellie to high-tech Deadpool 2099, each with unique powers and abilities.
Ellie Wilson, Deadpool’s daughter, has the potential to surpass her father with superior healing powers and hypercognition.
Dreadpool, created by Psycho-Man’s manipulation, is the most powerful and malevolent Deadpool variant, seeking to destroy all creation.

As a seasoned comics aficionado with a penchant for the unconventional, I must say that the Deadpool universe is a veritable cornucopia of intrigue and absurdity. Each of these characters embodies a unique aspect of the mercenary’s multifaceted personality, from the humorously overpowered Captain Pool to the nihilistic Dreadpool who seeks to destroy all existence.

Deadpool has been in existence for quite some time now. Initially, he may have debuted as an imitation of Deathstroke in 1991, but over the years, he’s evolved into one of Marvel Comics’ most beloved characters. His path has been a lengthy one, transitioning from a straightforward villain to a gritty anti-hero and eventually to a fully-fledged hero.

In other words, just as with every significant Marvel character, numerous versions of Deadpool have been unveiled throughout the years, and several of these have contributed to some of the most entertaining easter eggs in Deadpool Vs. Wolverine. However, it’s important to note that not all of Deadpool’s variants are equally impressive. They span from the amusingly inept to the uproariously overpowered.

For this list, we’ve used “classic” 616 Deadpool as a baseline and only included versions from the comics.

8 Ellie Wilson

Has The Potential To Surpass Her Father

First Appeared In Deadpool (Vol. 5) #19

Over the years, Deadpool has fathered many offspring, including a symbiote canine daughter, but Ellie has always held a special place in his heart. Ellie made her debut in 2013, and their relationship with the unstable, inconsistent father figure has not always been smooth sailing. However, they have managed to mend their bond recently, which is fortunate given that Deadpool’s time may be running out.

In the ongoing comic book series, Elise (Ellie) is poised to step into Deadpool’s role. While readers haven’t had much opportunity to see her in action yet, there’s a lot of excitement about what’s to come. Much like her father, Ellie possesses healing abilities, but her version is stronger due to being cancer-free. Additionally, she has advanced cognitive skills and an exceptional memory. Although she may not have the same level of experience as Wade Wilson currently, her unique powers make her a fast learner, even capable of mimicking Taskmaster. If Marvel continues to develop her character, Ellie could potentially outshine her father in terms of abilities. However, since she’s sane, it’s unlikely she’ll ever surpass her dad when it comes to memorable one-liners.

7 Deadpool 2099

Has High-Tech Gear And A Robot Dragon

First Appeared In Deadpool #6

In a future world, known as Earth-16356, we meet Eleanor Camacho, also recognized as Deadpool 2099 – one of the many offspring of the infamous Deadpool. This character shares her origin with the popular Spider-Man 2099 comics, set in a similar future. Deadpool 2099 is actually the daughter of Wade Wilson and the ruler of the underworld, Shiklah. Her appearance has a touch of the demonic, inherited from her mother, while her healing abilities are a trait she carries from her father.

What makes Deadpool 2099 stand out, and gives her an edge over Ellie Wilson, is the state-of-the-art equipment she carries. As a character from the future, Eleanor is equipped with a cutting-edge suit and weapons that even Iron Man would find impressive. To top it off, she travels on a robotic dragon and commands a group of Bobs, similar to her father. Initially, she was a villain, but like her father, she eventually chose a more heroic path. Fans have yet seen much of Deadpool 2099, but she has great potential.

6 Lady Deadpool

The Heroic Female Counterpart

First Appeared In Deadpool: Merc With a Mouth #7 (2010)

If either of the two Deadpool characters exceeds their father’s abilities, it could lead to something similar to Lady Deadpool from Earth-3010. Lady Deadpool originates from a bleak Marvel Universe where Earth has been ravaged by civil war and is governed by an antagonistic Captain America equivalent, General America.

The character known as Lady Deadpool takes charge of the resistance group and presents a more heroic interpretation of Deadpool. She possesses all the typical powers of Deadpool, yet excels with blades and maintains her sanity. In terms of leadership, she’s shown to be superior, playing a crucial part in fighting against the Villainous Deadpool Corps. This makes for a slightly improved version of Deadpool overall, placing her on the lower spectrum but above her daughters in terms of rank. Her memorable cameo in Deadpool vs. Wolverine suggests that we can expect more of this variant version of Deadpool in future appearances, hinting at continued popularity among fans.

5 Death Mask

A Deadpool/Doctor Doom Combo

First Appeared In Amazing Spider-Man Annual #38 (2011)

Marvel has produced numerous crossover versions of Deadpool, blending Deadpool with existing characters such as Wolverinepool and Octosquatchpool. While these characters often boast impressive designs, their appearances are typically brief, leaving fans questioning their true power levels. However, Death Mask stands out in this regard.

In the universe of Earth-11638, a unique Deadpool was brought back to life by Reed Richards, who successfully eliminated his cancer. Regrettably, this treatment also took away Wade’s moral compass and granted him exceptional intelligence in return. With his newfound intellect, this Deadpool crafted armor reminiscent of Doctor Doom and established an expansive criminal empire. He cruelly murdered the Victor Von Doom of his universe (who was on the verge of becoming a close ally to the regular Deadpool from Earth-616) and even tried to eliminate Earth-616’s Deadpool. Known as Death Mask, he retains all the typical powers of Deadpool but proves exceptionally cunning. What sets him apart is the agreement he made with Mephisto, a pact that could potentially make him a significant threat across multiple universes when he resurfaces again.

4 Venompool

Wade With A Symbiote

First Appeared In Deadpool What If? #1 (2011)

Venompool is the initial item on our list that can be characterized as significantly surpassing the conventional Deadpool. Hailing from Earth-90211, a realm frozen in the 80s where Deadpool was employed by Galactus to eliminate the Beyonder but instead formed a friendship and embraced a wild lifestyle of partying. However, trouble arises when this universe’s Deadpool interacts with and establishes a bond with Spider-Man’s symbiote.

The transformation yields a Deadpool characterized by double the madness, retaining all typical symbiote abilities. Initially, he strives to be heroic, yet his unquenchable appetite for destruction leads him to inadvertently eliminate numerous villains. Excluded by fellow heroes, Venompool sought relevance by nearly eradicating every hero and villain in his cosmos. Venompool’s strength allows him to engage in combat with some of the most powerful beings in his universe and graces the cover of one of the top anti-hero Deadpool comics, elevating his status significantly.

3 Galactipool

A Planet-Eating Powerhouse

First Appeared In Deadpool Kills Deadpool #2

Galactipool didn’t stick around for very long in the comics, which means fans don’t know much about him. However, what we do understand is that he’s undeniably one of Deadpool’s most formidable counterparts. This is because Galactus, who has the ability to consume entire planets and manipulate reality, ranks among Marvel’s strongest antagonists, and Galactipool appears to possess all these powers.

In the Deadpool Kills Deadpool storyline, Galactipool emerged as a villain in the Evil Deadpool Corps, his mission being the destruction of the last remnants of the good Deadpool Corps by devouring their hiding planet. However, his plans were thwarted when Ladypool deliberately rammed her spaceship into his head. This incident underscored that even the strongest forms of Deadpool can suffer embarrassingly fatal blows.

2 Captain Pool/Cosmic-Pool

Wielded Cosmic-Level Power

First Appeared in Deadpool Volume 4, #27

In Marvel Comics, characters can sometimes become incredibly powerful. A fantastic method for achieving this is by engaging with the fundamental energies that shaped the universe, a path Deadpool took during his battle against Thanos. In the Deadpool vs. Thanos storyline, the object of their affection, Lady Death, vanished. Upon finding her, they learned she was in the custody of Eternity, an embodiment of the Marvel Universe itself. Desiring to win Lady Death’s affections, Thanos tried to kill Eternity, which would have resulted in the annihilation of all life. Recognizing the dire consequences, Deadpool intervened.

This situation grants Deadpool access to the UniPower, a cosmic entity that once empowered Captain Universe, a renowned Marvel superhero known for possessing extraordinary abilities. Among these are manipulating matter, warping reality, and even displaying near-omnipotence at times. Empowered by these new capabilities, Deadpool effortlessly overpowers Thanos, who was temporarily acting as Lady Death’s emissary, enhancing his might.

This particular Deadpool is incredibly versatile, yet his tenure as Captain Pool was brief due to the UniPower’s transient abilities bestowed upon him. Later, an alternate version of Captain Deadpool surfaced in Deadpool: The End #1, hinting at a possible future for Deadpool. In this rendition, the character alters Marvel’s entire universe to create a brighter and more optimistic realm.

1 Dreadpool

Wants To Destroy Everything

First Appeared In Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe #1

Deadpool serves as an example that even the most selfless acts can have dire consequences. His narrative unfolds with the X-Men sending Deadpool to a mental facility, believing he requires help. However, instead of receiving treatment, Deadpool falls prey to Psycho-Man’s brainwashing. The villain aims to transform Deadpool into an unrelenting assassin by making him believe his universe is a fabrication and everyone within it should perish. This manipulation proves successful, resulting in a Deadpool who has lost his humor and embraces destruction as the only truth.

What makes Deadpool, or Dreadpool as you might call him, so formidable is his unyielding determination, concentration, and an almost invincible aura. He has been the star of some of the finest Deadpool stories and single-handedly destroyed his own universe. After that, he ventured into the Ideaverse and eliminated literary icons such as Sherlock Holmes, Moby Dick, and Dracula. Once this mission was complete, he turned his attention to the Marvel multiverse and formed the Evil Deadpool Corps, a team dedicated to tracking down any Deadpool who could pose a threat to him. No other Deadpool character has come close in terms of destructive potential or achievements. Despite being the most malevolent version of Wade Wilson, he is also the most powerful.
