When Rob Liefeld introduced Deadpool in Marvel’s New Mutants #98, it’s unlikely he had any idea how influential his character would be in the next three decades of comics. He’s the Merc with a Mouth who never knows when to call it quits, and he’s brought a great mash-up of violence, humor, and meta commentary to Earth-616. However, he also inspired a trend that continues to divide readers today.Created amidst the edgy, darker vibe of the 1990s, Deadpool emerged as one of the most successful and iconic comic book characters of the Modern Age of the industry. After striking mainstream success thanks to the Ryan Reynolds movies, he’s soared to the top of audience perceptions of the genre as the ultimate antihero. It’s key to remember that’s not how he was initially depicted, and his turn to moral ambiguity left comics changed forever.The change for Deadpool became one of the hottest and most read runs of the 2000s, cultivating a devoted fan base with wide-reaching appeal. Though it took a while for him to enter the mainstream consciousness, he was a thriving part of the comics themselves. At a time when some other runs were struggling to feel fresh and new, often eclipsed by the Ultimate line, Wade Wilson’s adventures gave readers something unique. For many writers, he became the gold standard for irreverent, humorous, and the same brand of meta storytelling that made the likes of Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol so iconic. Naturally, some writers followed suit, and the idea began to spread that the way to make a villain interesting was to push them towards the side of good.
