Memes That Show Just How Much Deadpool Makes Sense

People who pay attention to both Marvel and DC Comics might have noticed how Wade Wilson is more than a little bit similar to Slade Wilson. This is not a coincidence but rather an intentional choice on the part of Rob Liefeld, who meant it to be a nod to how the co-creator Fabian Nicieza pointed out that Deadpool was just Deathstroke when he saw the look of the character as well as his special abilities. However, that comparison isn’t one that most people in the present would make, not least because Deadpool has more than managed to differentiate himself from Deathstroke by this point in time.

In significant part, that differentiation can be attributed to the character’s own series, which managed to stand out because it parodized the tendencies of its times, with one example being anti-heroes and another example being cosmic-scale narratives. Combined with a love of pop culture as well as a love of slapstick comedy, it was that series that resulted in Deadpool picking up a solid fan base of his own, which in turn, caused him to move further and further towards his present form. As a result, it is no exaggeration to say that it was Deadpool’s own series that served as the first step on the character’s journey towards becoming prime material for memes.

How Is It That Deadpool Can Make So Much Sense in Memes?

With that said, one of the most entertaining parts of memes is how they can sometimes make a fair amount of sense. Sure, anyone can slap a random image together with something that sounds sort of pithy to create a standard meme, but memes that say something true while paired with the perfect picture are much rarer and thus that much more entertaining, as shown by the meme of comparing pre-incident Slade Wilson to post-incident Deadpool with freshman year and senior year. Deadpool is an ideal choice for finding such memes, not least because he is such a natural target for them in the first place, which is why interested individuals might want to check out this collection of memes to see whether they can get a laugh or two out of them.
