10 Marvel Comics Characters Deadpool Has Killed

Marvel Comics thought it might be fun to let a rabid Deadpool off his leash outside of its mainline universe and hand him a licence to kill every superhero on its books, no matter how iconic they may be, and they weren't wrong about that.

Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe kicks off when Psycho-Man attempts to turn the merc into a mindless assassin. This procedure fails but leaves him more unhinged than ever, and it isn't long before a voice in his head tells him to kill everyone.

Wade Wilson takes these words literally and begins a killing spree that leaves everyone from Spider-Man to the Fantastic Four dead. He reduces The Thing to a pile of bricks, slits the Human Torch's throat and shoots Spidey in the head. There's a good reason why this didn't take place in the mainline Marvel Universe.

He also slays most of the X-Men, the Punisher, the Hulk and even Howard the Duck, who he then roasts for good measure. But the bloodshed doesn't stop there. In true Deadpool style, he smashes through the fourth wall, kills the writing team and vows to come looking for the readers next. Be afraid, be very afraid.
