Sign #4374075 that you read too many comics: You immediately think of Dark Reign whenever Dark is used as a prefix.

Deadpool fanboys/girls tend to just REALLY love Deadpool.
 
I've never met a fanboy/girl of Deadpool who would make ridiculous claims regarding who he could and couldn't beat in a fight. It's a bit hard to be a fanboy of Hulk because he's badass anyway and has earned the right to smack anyone around that he chooses.
 
Can't said I've encountered many Storm ones, but the ones I have were EXTREME. My vote goes to Wolverine.

I love/loved Deadpool because, for all of his indecision, he's at peace with what he is. We can all identify with that.
 
He's always gonna wanna be more, be a hero, but he never will because it's not who he is. Unfortunately, he is one of the best in the world at something you could call bad; killing people.  He knows this and that's why he always goes back to doing it, even if it makes him kinda sad.
 
I liked the fact that he was slowly coming to terms with it. Sort of like an "If I can't beat it, embrace it." mentality, or "Sure, I'll cut a bitch. I'll just cut those who deserve it.", but he'd always get side-tracked by the lure of money. It looked like he was finally about to shrug and be like: "Ok, this is who I am.", but Daniel Way seems to not give a shit about anything that's come before.
 
Truly, I loved the tragedy of his story and the dark places that it has taken him over the years. For example, the whole arc with him, Siryn and Dr. Killebrew. That gave way to a lot of revelatory speeches by Deadpool, dark material whereby Siryn was trying to convince him not to kill the guy, and he was just saying: "He ruined my life, treated me like a piece of meat." etc. It was tragic and touching, it added a whole dimension to Deadpool that, if you picked up ANY of his comics now, you'd never know existed.
 
I truly believe that the story in Deadpool #900, where he's hunting down real life readers to stop his popularity growing, was the most accurate depiction of Deadpool in years. It's also very real.
 
So I suppose that's why I loved Deadpool, and why I'm using the past tense. It makes me sad and I'll always be tempted to pick up a book with him in it, no matter how much I wanna bitch at Marvel, but now's the time to pat him on the back, say goodbye and hope he finds his way to a writer who will take care of him.

I have loved Deadpool since I was in a single digit age, so the current treatment of Deadpool bothers me (Which you can read about on my blog! http://welcometothemast.blogspot.com, shameless plug).
 
I miss the corrosively witted, lethal assassin that would break the fourth wall and always border on psychopathy. I do not like this comedic, funnyman punching bag for everyone in the Marvel Universe. There was a time when Deadpool put a whooping on Shatterstar after observing him fight and learning all his techniques and weaknesses in about 10 minutes. Now he barely throws a punch in any of the three series' we have.
 
I love Deadpool so much that I'd rather have no Deadpool comics right now as opposed to three, maybe four mediocre ones. Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth is much better than I expected, but it still isn't true Deadpool. Furthermore, they need to stop with this two-voices-in-the-head shit. If they can't write ONE Deadpool great over three comics, why are they giving us three elements of mediocre dialogue in one book?
 
It's just very sad. I was never one of those people who said Deadpool needs more exposure, as underrated as he always was. Now, he has more than he'd ever need and it's killing him. I also love Surfer, but the man has been consistently written as the same character since his inception and it's just dead. Marvel have got the right idea in keeping him to minis and events, rather than giving him an on-going while nobody knows how to write him. Unfortunately, he's never gonna be the bankable character that Deadpool is now.

Dr. Doom wanders around with more gadgets than a lesbian slumber party.

I plan to do a rap entitled Like a Merc, to the beat of Like a Boss, except it's by Deadpool.
 
You down, Babs? You can be the Siryn to my Wade Wilson! Comicdom's favourite Irish/Canadian duo takes the mic!

I like to say "Baltimora", it means "I'm running at you with no trousers on.".

Gonna have to go with Prince and any other variation of musicians he uses live.  Though, he counts more as a...person, not collective.
 
Favourite BAND? Probably Tool, The Smiths or Faith No More.

"If you wanna believe in God, do so. Do not assume that God and religion are inherently connected, because they aren't. If God exists, he'd exist regardless of whether or not the bible was written and we all lived by it.  Cut out the middleman, there's honestly no need for the middleman in 2010. Religion is b.s., not God. I'm agnostic, but if you wanna believe in God you should be doing so in your own way. Bottom line: no matter how sure you are of an afterlife, the one thing that's fact is that you're here now. I'd always advise against living the one life you KNOW you have in servitude for a God that you don't even know exists, for an afterlife you don't even know you'll get.  That's me, though. "

Yeah but the afterlife they say in the bible so much better then this reality we live in. "
