AceShowbiz - Marvel Studios' upcoming film "Deadpool & Wolverine" is set to introduce a plethora of new Deadpool variants to the MCU, as revealed through official merchandise. Funko Pop! figures unveiled by FunkoInfo disclose the arrival of three new Deadpool variations, Headpool, Kidpool and Babypool.
Headpool, a decapitated Deadpool's zombified head from Earth-2149, first appeared in "Marvel Zombies #3" (2006). Kidpool, from Earth-10330, debuted in "Prelude to Deadpool Corps #2" (2010) as a student at Xavier Orphanage for Troubled Boys. Babypool, while not a direct comic book character, is speculated to be a younger version of Kidpool.
These variants join the previously confirmed Dogpool, based on the Merc with a Bark from Earth-103173, and the rumored Lady Deadpool, speculated to be played by Blake Lively.
In the comics, Wade Wilson recruited "alternaverse Deadpools" from across the multiverse to form the Deadpool Corps. Lady Deadpool, Kidpool, Dogpool and Headpool were all founding members, first appearing in the "Prelude to Deadpool" miniseries (2010) and later assembling in the "Deadpool Corps" series (2010-2011).
The presence of multiple Deadpool variants in "Deadpool & Wolverine" suggests that the MCU is embracing the "Pool-verse" concept from the comics. The film, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, is scheduled to hit theaters on July 26.
