"I like Deadpool. He's a very underrated character. Another Canadain weapon X character, with a healing factor, tons of weapons and amazing martial arts training-that's awesome!I think part of his appeal is being solo and somewhat of an unknown. Putting Deadpool in the Avengers would have been like putting Moonknight in the Westcoast Avengers like they did in the 80's.It would have been nice to see him in Omega Flight since he's Canadain-it would have made a lot more sense than USAgent.But I agree that the character needs more press. He should appear more in a story arcs; maybe teaming up with Wolverine or Daredevil or Iron Fist. I mean, he already took out Taskmaster but hardly anyone even knows about that. (unfortunately)"
That first line almost sounds like sarcasm, lol.
What appeals to me about Deadpool is that he is such a sympathetic character that you just want good things to happen to him and succeed. He's a physically and emotionally scarred person that uses humor to hide his insecurities and poor social skills. His life has just never been fair, he has never had anyone to support him or believe in him, and he has obvious mental disabilities. He does bad things because that's all he ever knew how to do, but he's an inherently good person that tries to put his life together and do the right things; but in the end he doesn't get the girl, walk off into the sunset, or get his name chanted by a crowd... he's an underdog that everyone expects to fail, few people like him, and any progress he has made putting his life back together usually just falls apart.
And I personally think that if Deadpool got more press, he'd be a break-out character. But as things are, he's like Marvel's little secret. He has a dedicated fan-base, but it could be so much more. Hell, he isn't even going to be in the Messiah Complex with Cable... Deadpool should be leading that whole event!
