10 Characters Who KNEW They Were In Video Games

10. Deadpool - Deadpool

Deadpool is the lowest hanging fruit of any conversation about meta concepts or fourth wall breaking. So low, in fact, he might as well be buried under the tree. That’s not to stop his inclusion, though, as he’s had two very specific showings in video games.

The first of which is obviously his very own release where he constantly references the platform, the player, the enemies, game design, literally everything and anything to do with video games. Even going so far as to have a phone call between Nolan North as Deadpool and Nolan North as himself, discussing the prospect of him voicing the character.

He’ll mock the ease of certain achievements and – basically, he doesn’t shut up. That’s all you need to know about the Deadpool game.

Next to this we have Marvel vs. Capcom. One of his hyper combos include him grabbing his own health bar and beating his opponent over the head with it. His taunt is also just him saying, “This is my taunt, do you get it?”

Sure, the concept of breaking the fourth wall isn’t difficult to understand, especially in regards to Deadpool, sometimes, though, less is more.
