In Cullen Bunn and Dalibor Talajić's 2012 miniseriesDeadpool Kills the Curiosity Universe, the Merc with a Mouth finally went off the rails and slaughtered the Marvel Universe. In 2017, the pair reunited to reexamine the concept, creatingDeadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again. While the first story was pretty horrifying, the second version of the story was somehowevenworse. It even tied into some other dystopian Marvel reality, making it one of the nearly tragic takes on Deadpool always.

Now, CBR is taking a look back at how Deadpool was corrupted, who died in his wake and what separates information technology from the earlier incarnation of the comic.

What Went Incorrect With Wade

In the outset version ofDeadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, the hero was broken by Psycho-Man. This led to the dissolution of the voices within Deadpool'south caput. They were replaced by a darker persona that compelled Deadpool to murder his way through the universe.

In Deadpool Kills the Curiosity Universe Again, the random chaos of that kickoff story is modified to be directed in the second take on the concept. Instead, Deadpool's urge to kill is a subliminal message instilled in him by several villains, including M.O.D.O.Grand.. Although the AIM leader activates the subliminal bulletin, it's later revealed that he worked with a massive cabal of villains including the Red Skull to corrupt Deadpool.

Deadpool also isn't the but hero in the story who'south used in this manner. When Deadpool eventually goes after the X-Men, he arrives after the squad has already been slaughtered. By Examining the scene, Wade realizes that Wolverine killed his own friends, which lines upwardly with the events ofErstwhile Man Logan, where Wolverine was tricked by Mysterio into murdering his fellow Mutants. This suggests the villain's ultimate plan was to corruptmultipleheroes and slaughter equally many others as possible. And given the dystopian mural that appeared inOld Human being Logan, it'southward credible that their plan worked. This story is an inherently crueler take on the premise, twisting Wade'south perceptions of the battles into goofy drawing adventures while he's really murdering the heroes he usually admires.

HOW DEADPOOL KILLED THE MARVEL UNIVERSE

The number of heroes killed by Deadpool in this story is truly staggering. Wade impales Gambit with his own staff. The Uncanny Avengers (Rogue, Doctor Voodoo, Quicksilver and Synapse) are taken past surprise and hacked to pieces, and Thing, Man Torch, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Black Widow are killed off-console.

An assortment of magical heroes (Hercules, Thor, Loki, Ganesha, Hippolyta and Valkyrie) are lured to the Aegan Body of water, where he uses Medusa'due south head to plow these godly figures to stone and so he tin shatter them. He uses air horns to split Eddie Brock from the Venom symbiote and shoots Brock dead. Deadpool even briefly bonds with Venom, and uses it to seize with teeth off Spider-Man's head and swallow his brains before he allows the symbiote to escape.

Jessica Drew and Porcupine are murdered in forepart of their babe son. Spider-Man 2099 takes a bullet to the caput and Miles Morales is beheaded. The Guardians of the Galaxy were discovered after being wiped out, with Deadpool even skinning Rocket Raccoon on top of murdering Gamora, Drax, Star-Lord and Groot.

The teenange Ten-Men from the by are lured into a malfunctioning time auto and reduced to a gory mess of flesh. Deadpool'south ain team, the Mercs for Coin are likewise wiped out (including Domino and Slapstick), with merely Gorilla Human being surviving. This was because Wade didn't desire to be cursed with the immortality that comes with murdering Gorilla Homo.

HOW DEADPOOL AND ULTRON KILLED Everyone ELSE

A group of heroes tried to chase down Deadpool, just that doesn't get well either. Deadpool booby-trapped a massive gun that killed Punisher. Moon Knight was quickly murdered besides, which led the remaining heroes. (Cerise Witch, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Physician Strange, Misty Knight, Captain America, the Totally Awesome Hulk, Jessica Jones, Kate Bishop, Black Panther, Jessica Jones, Vision, Shang-Chi and Cable, to try and rush Deadpool. Unfortunately, the villains had managed to combine Deadpool with Ultron, and the newly empowered murderer slaughtered the Avengers. Notably, Iron Homo got himselfripped in one-half and Misty Stone got her facevaporized.

Deadpool chop-chop goes on to kill other heroes similar Daredevil, Ghost Rider, Emmet-Man and Nova are quickly dispatched. Even the Power Pack, Moon Girl and Ms. Curiosity, who are all brutally murdered. Gwen-Poole arrives every bit the concluding hero standing, and she finally seems to be able to achieve through to him even equally she dies.

The final issue of the story sees Deadpool turning his wraith on the villains who corrupted him, and quickly wiping most of them out. Green Goblin loses his head, Carnage is held against a train, Mysterio is drowned in gasoline and Wrecker is crushed by his own wrecking ball. Only a broken Magneto is spared because he gives Deadpool the location to the remaining villains, and Deadpool wants Magneto to live with the knowledge of his actions.

Anathema and Doctor Doom go into hiding, and Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Orb, Arcade, Masam Masque, Viper and Crossbones all die equally Deadpool makes his manner to Red Skull. Taskmaster ultimately refuses to fight Deadpool, which gets him killed past Carmine Skull. Deadpool beheads Red Skull, simply his headjust keeps talking, reminding Wade this could just be another hallucination. Wade staggers away, aiming to kill the last of the villains on Earth.
