Deadpool is more like the Hulk or Captain America. He got his powers through science fuckery rather than birth.

Is the movie an accurate representation of how he gets his powers in the comics? Because in the movie, it just seems like they torture him so badly that powers just kind of appear out of nowhere. Which would imply to me something was already in there, because that doesn't really make much sense. Was he injected with Wolverine mojo or something?

At some point didn't they say that the fuckery did some weird poo poo cause of cancer and that's why he's covered in supercancer but it doesn't kill him? I can't remember if that's from one of the various comics or movies.

In the comics he was basically given Wolverine's healing factor yeah. In the movie they injected him with some serum before torturing him to activate the serum and see if he had any potential powers. That might be closer to mutant but eh.

Well for the sake of movie licensing, Deadpool is part of the X-Men universe of characters and thus owned by Fox. Disney has agreed to buy Fox, but that hasn't gone through yet.

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

Deadpool is one of those characters who is associated with the X-Men corner of the universe, but isn't himself a Mutant. See also Juggernaut.

He's indirectly whaleable since you need 5x 5* SHIELD characters to unlock him, but you can't just buy his stuff.

:ducksiren: Blitz Protocol :ducksiren:

Goons—

With Deadpool and his friend Caleb here, all of us need to maximize accumulating Blitz tickets (chimis) for the raid. I want us all to get a big and strong Wade, so here’s my easy guide to follow. Thank you to guys like swarms and suprfli who offer a lot of insight in both discords. I took notes guys.

1) Since we are focused on chimis, don’t use your Blitz Tickets too heavily. Go into Thursday-Sunday spending your tickets. 500 Blitz tickets is the most you can save. You get 100 a day via dailies. Challenge days give you more. If you already have 500 tickets, don’t claim any daily rewards until you are at 400 or lower!

2) Go through your whole roster and battle. If it says Battle, then Battle. Once you go through everybody, start destroying stuff with Blitz tickets. Personally, I use them on my first 2-3 teams. You can spend 25 per team, 3 times a day. After that, it goes to 50 tickets per team. Just don’t do that for the sake of this event.

3) Want to be very efficient? When your POWER outnumbers the other team, use your tickets on top teams. When your POWER doesn’t outnumber the other team, take some crap team in and lose. Then go back to your top team and crush weight.

4) The first days of any new Blitz is all about driving your multiplier high. Use 4 bottom teams, get the win and then use your top teams multiple times first day(s). I do this until I’m about Tier 5-7, just depending on how I feel. My favorite time to use a top team is the first two blips of a Tier. That’s when you are paired with the lower POWER teams.

5) Teams I avoid: I shy away from Drax. I hate him. I am careful about dual healer teams. My favorite team to fight has guys like Spidey, Punisher and DD mixed in. My team I freak out fighting is Drax, Quack, Xbones, Captain America, and Yondad. I skip those every time. If these chars are in any team I fight, I simply plan my attacks more. You’ll encounter these a lot at the top. Again, if I see a team with Punisher, Punisher and/or Spidey and just one tank...I fight those every single time.

6) Lastly, start pumping up your teams for this event. Let’s maximize our chimis we can get from Blitz and ask questions in discord and here! We are all here to help. I finish in the 200,000s every Blitz that’s a char and about 120,000 in Orb Blitz. I don’t know how it compares to others but I have a system I like and I am always 1-10%.

7) Super Lastly: Rank Gamora up to the moon. Don’t use Night Nurse as a game changer in Blitz (she’s tops in Raids) and bring a tank. Gamora and a tank crush the hell out of NFL Blitz.

Additional Notes via swarms

“When planning Blitz teams, try and use a team of people around the same power. Teams with vast power differences will find themselves up against enemies they just can't beat quite rapidly.

As ICR says first day is about using everyone to get up to the your farming tier, this is a tier you can use your 2-3 top teams to farm endlessly and then use some poo poo team you haven't used yet to drop back to farming tier.

When tiering up use worse teams on the early stages of a tier as these are easier. By worse teams I do not mean lower power teams, I mean your teams without synergy, or teams you have assembled out of your left overs with massive power gaps or teams that are just using poo poo characters. You'll prob have to send in a better team to beat the 4th stage of a tier, this is fine. As you go up in tier you will find only your stronger teams can win. This is when you start spending those blitz tokens on the 25 cost refresh.

The very first match of tier 1 can literally be done by just grabbing 5 level 1 characters. Do this. It's a free win. It might not get you many points but it means a better team will have a higher multiplier which is more points in the long run.

Tried a team out and they didn't work out? Force close the game before you lose. This will stop you from losing a tier, meaning you keep your multiplier, meaning you just saved 4 refreshes to get to your tier goal.

Does this sound super time consuming? It is! But it gets me top 500 when I put the effort in.”

At the end of the day, I’m here to help my crew dominate this raid. And so, here’s a basic guide for you. Let’s get qualifyin for cabin boy!

Feedback is always appreciated. Good luck qualifyin’ and helping your alliance do as much Deadpool as possible!

Those patch notes are a joke. The same poo poo happened with 1.1. Some of those bullet points seem like they could be fixed in minutes.

Drax’s taunt indicator has been fixed. No more mystery taunts! - seems like it could be fixed in minutes


The Infinity War event is over and Thanos has been vanquished... for now. The home screen has returned to the standard S.T.R.I.K.E. user interface.*. - Deactivating an event is a bullet point?

Disabling Global Chat in Options will now save that setting in between sessions. - another 5 minute fix?

I mean 5 minutes might be cutting it a bit low, but this shouldn't take one person longer than a day to knock out. Is this company tiny? Poorly managed? I mean Jesus christ I have played a good amount of mobile games and the 'updates' that they roll out are shameful in content.


Also its a 24mb patch and you have to redownload like all of the art assets in the game as well.
