10 Most Heartbreaking Deadpool Moments

1. Being Hunted For Killing Coulson

While no loved ones die in the chase that ensues between Deadpool and the Avengers after the events of Secret Empire, it is in many ways a much sadder moment despite this. Wade doesn't kill Coulson out of bloodlust, but because - as far as he knows - Captain America needs him to in order to save the world.

To have this thrown back in his face - and to have his two personal idols, Spiderman and Captain America, try to arrest him for it - completely destroys the usually cheerful mercenary. Having everyone he ever cared about - including his own daughter - outright turn their backs on him for something he thought he had to do is absolutely heartbreaking, especially since these are the same people Deadpool was trying to protect by killing Coulson in the first place.

Watching him have to turn on them is upsetting for the same reasons, as Wade is forced to do a series of terrible things to the people he cares most about to keep himself safe.

The most painful moments of Deadpool are always the ones where we see the man behind the mask and jokes, and this is no exception.
