Since they become closer than any two living beings would usually like, the members of X-Force gained a newfound respect for one another, just as fans should gain a newfound respect for Wade Wilson’s survival capabilities.
Eventually, Wolverine and Deadpool are separate entities again, but their time together as one symbiotic unit puts both combatants on the back foot in very interesting ways. After all, Logan’s animalistic instincts leave him at a slight disadvantage against a more sentient opponent, but that reasoning doesn’t hold much weight when Wolverine’s opponent in question is essentially a living backpack. And when the living backpack is the mouse with a mouth – One of Marvel’s most dangerous killers in any chain – Wade Wilson’s survival capabilities give him the edge he needs against his old frenemy Logan.
Clearly, these aren’t the normal circumstances in which Deadpool and Wolverine would be expected to face off, but if anything, it makes Deadpool’s victory even more impressive. After all, Wolverine in a berserker rage is Logan at his most dangerous, even without intelligent reasoning, and everything that gets in his way is not long for living. Add in the fact that Deadpool can barely use the full extent of his extraordinary combat prowess, and his victory against Wolverine highlights Wade’s very strategic mind far more than his base skills as a fighter.
It seems that Deadpool knows exactly what to do to stop Wolverine right in his tracks – especially when their fates and spines are fused together.
Deadpool and Wolverine are closer than ever
That closeness was Logan’s vulnerability
Wolverine and Deadpool have fought with and against each other countless times, but they’ve never fought a battle as close—both literally and figuratively—as this one. While neither X-Force hero was exactly at their peak, they are both still incredibly dangerous warriors who should never be underestimated in any situation. And when push comes to shove, It means that Deadpool Knows exactly what to do to stop Wolverine Right in his tracks – Especially when their fates and spines are fused together.
