Warning: Contains spoilers for Venom War: Deadpool #1! Like the rest of the Marvel Universe, Deadpool found himself right in the middle of it Poison WarAs symbiotes possess countless hosts (dead at home) and destroy the whole world. However, while he may be just one of the many, Deadpool stands out among all the other Marvel characters fighting symbiotes during this event, the reason being that it’s all his fault. Indeed, Deadpool just confirmed that his weird role in Venom’s origin story is 100% canon.
In a preview for Venom War: Deadpool #1 by Cullen Bunn and Roberto Di Salvo, Deadpool is hacking and slashing against symbiotes, most of which are symbiotes (symbiotes that possess corpses). While he can’t save innocent civilians and in between every hack and slash, Deadpool does the whole ‘mark with a mouth’ thing, and spits incessant nonsense. However, there is one thing he says that is not just thoughtful chatter, but actually a confirmation of an earlier storyline.
Deadpool says that everything that’s happening is completely his fault, since he was the one who first found the Venom symbiote, and effectively introduced it to Spider-Man. The entire war is a direct result of Venom being created, as there is a conflict between Eddie and Dylan Brook over who should be connected to Venom, with one believing that the world will end if the other carries the symbiote. Therefore, the poison war is Deadpool’s fault, although that arguably isn’t always the case.
Everyone Thought Deadpool’s Venom Origin Story Wasn’t Canon (Until Now)
Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars #3 by Cullen Bunn and Matteo Lolli
Wonder Super Heroes Secret Wars is one of the most iconic crossover stories in the history of ​​Marvel Comics, as it was the series of massive franchise-wide crossovers, and included every major player in the Marvel Universe – both hero and villain. However, the story came out years before Deadpool was even created, meaning he obviously wasn’t involved. That is, until Deadpool reveals that he was Involved in the comic miniseries Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars. In it, Deadpool reveals that he is, in fact, involved in this epic event, he’s just the only one who can remember it.
Not only that, but it was Deadpool (not Spider-Man) who first stumbled upon the black suit symbioteAnd even got a sweet costume change as a result. However, Deadpool’s time wearing the symbiote was short-lived, and he ended up pointing Spider-Man in the symbiote’s direction. When the story came out, no one believed it was canon, because the idea that Deadpool’s psychosis crafted a false narrative to make him feel more included and important made a lot more sense. But, with poison warIt seems Deadpool was telling the truth after all.
Confirmation of Deadpool’s Venom origin may just be 1 Marvel writer’s long joke
Cullen Ban wrote Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars And Venom War: Deadpool
Deadpool may have just confirmed that he actually is responsible for Venom’s origin, meaning all the events of Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars Actually happened. But then again, this is Deadpool after all. Maybe he’s just lying. Or, maybe his broken psyche convinced him something happened that didn’t, and it’s so convincing that he feels bad for being the cause of a whole world-wide war that wasn’t even his fault. Or, maybe, the whole thing is just one big joke from writer Cullen Bunn, who is responsible for both of​​​​ Deadpool storylines.
While it’s possible that this could be the continuation of a giant fake-out, that seems unlikely, especially since Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars It was published many years ago, so referring to it as such would be quite random unless it is true. Therefore, it is safe to assume that Deadpool is, in fact, telling the truth, thereby settling a fan debate over the legitimacy of Deadpools strange role in Poisons origin story.
Venom War: Deadpool #1 by Marvel Comics is available September 18, 2024.
