We might be stretching the definition of "win" a tad here, because it's fair to say that Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) actually prevents Firefist (Julian Dennison) from becoming a murderous psychopath without having to off himself.

But of course, Deadpool 2's true ending concludes with him using Cable's (Josh Brolin) time travel tech to bring Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) back to life, and return to the time of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where he promptly murders the infamous Barakapool version of himself with a bullet to the brain.

And if that's not gloriously meta enough, Wade goes one step further, by literally assassinating Ryan Reynolds himself before he can sign on to star in Green Lantern. If that ain't winning, what is?
