Show Notes

In the movie, it is suggested that Deadpool has latent mutant powers. There is no where from the comics. In the comics, Deadpool gets his abilities from Wolverine.

Vanessa is also from the comics, as the mutant Copycat.

And, yes, Blind Al is from the comics too.

Apparently, Deadpool is “inspired” from Spider-man, even though he has a lot of similarities with DC’s Deathstroke.

Ajax is from the comics, but no one cares.

The same with Angel Dust.

There is some confusion about which timeline this movie takes place in. I think it’s an alternative version of the Singer X-Men. But, maybe not.
