So Deadpool obviously knows about what's going on with Spock.

I love Deadpool's 4th-wall-breaking ability. It is his most powerful superpower.

My favourite use of this was in the opening splash page of Cable/Deadpool #50. He's busy fighting off Venom-symbiote-dinosaurs with Weasel and Hydra Bob when Spider-Man swings in and starts blaming him for everything. I can't find an image of it, but the conversation goes like this:

Spider-Man: SO... WHAT DID YOU DO?
Deadpool: ACCIDENTALLY TELEPORTED ALL THESE DINOSAURS INTO MIDTOWN MANHATTAN. BUT I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VENOM-LOOK-ALIKE GIG, I SWEAR!
Weasel: HE DIDN'T!
SM: GREAT, YOU GOT SIDEKICKS NOW.
DP: I CALL THEM A LOYAL SUPPORTING CAST, MR. HOLIER-THAN-THOU-FUGIIVE-FROM-THE-LAW, SPIDER-MAN. AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE A DEAL WITH MEPHISTO TO HAVE IT, EITHER.
SM: ?
DP: NEVER MIND.

Check out these panels from Cable & Deadpool 21 & 30, and an explanation that I stole from 4th letter here.



A couple years back, Matt Murdock was in prison and another Daredevil was on the streets. This led to a Daredevil vs. Daredevil fight where the fake revealed himself by making his fist glow and showing us that he was Danny Rand. I know I’m biased, but that’s probably one of my favorite uses of a mystery man in a comic story. It gave Brubaker’s Daredevil run some intrigue to start off with, it was a surprising reveal without being completely out of nowhere and it really led to some great stuff.

In Daredevil and Civil War, there wasn’t much to go on when it came to who Daredevil was other than we knew Daredevil could see and Iron Fist was completely missing from the Civil War clusterfuck. I guess that does make it more obvious when you look at the Luke Cage issue of New Avengers.

The cool thing is, the biggest hint came in the form of Cable/Deadpool. First, you have to look back to Cable/Deadpool #21, where our two heroes take on Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Check out this martial arts exchange between Deadpool and Iron Fist.



George Carlin. ‘Vuja de’ – the feeling none of this has ever happened before.”

“Okay, the other one then. Déjà vu. This has happened. Hey—wait a minute—you’re not even Daredevil for real, are you? –You’re really—“

Then Captain America’s projectile shield shuts him up.

So Deadpool totally knew and gave the biggest hint when everyone online was debating about who the mystery Daredevil is.

He tries to shoot *everyone* in the face with tranq darts.

And ends up wearing them himself, with the most :downs: smile showing through his mask when they take effect.

This is one of my favorite threads, so I'm giving it the Photoshop Friday/Comedy Goldmine treatment in a new series on the front page. Installments will be sporadic and entirely based upon how many panels I stockpile. Of course, every image will be attributed to its poster.

I don't want to cause a derail, so if anyone has an issue or suggestion feel free to PM me.

Pretty much anything from this thread and its previous incarnations. I'm mostly going with panels that are bizarre or goofy (like Ghost Rider + snakes or papa spank) rather than examples of well-written comedy.

In an earlier issue they were talking about being the Sinister Six but only having five members and Boomerang rationalized this by saying that people will think the sixth member could be anybody! Even Dormammu! And the Shocker was all "Oy, always with the Dormammu!" so it's a callback!

Earlier in the series he talks about how cool he thinks Dormammu is, and gets called a fanboy for it. Then in his fantasy he has Dormammu as his best man...but also still gets screwed over by him because the baby looks like Dormammu, meaning his fantasy wife slept with his fantasy best friend behind his back.

Or maybe Dormammu's just so cool that he's OK with it.
