All the Deadpool variants in Deadpool and Wolverine

Deadpool and Wolverine is a reality-hopping adventure that finds Ryan Reynolds' smart-talking Merc with a Mouth teaming up with Hugh Jackman's Logan for the first time on screen – here's our review of the new movie.

Near the start of the film Deadpool encounters a whole host of different Wolverine variants – different versions of Logans from across the multiverse. Then, later in the movie while trapped in the Void, both Wade and Wolverine are attacked by the Deadpool Corps, a fearsome group of Deadpool variants who have banded together into a ramshackle army.

Now, there are a lot of different Deadpools in this scene – we counted at least 40 and there are probably more. The vast majority of them are simply regular-looking Deadpools of different body types, while some have a notable characteristic like a deerstalker, a crown, wings, or being a baby. In the credits we caught names like Canadapool and Welshpool, and Twitter user @MysticFlame10 let us know that Scottishpool, Piratepool, and Dancepool are also in there. But there are also a few more notable ones, mostly from the comics, which we're going to break down for you here... It goes without saying there are spoilers for Deadpool and Wolverine ahead.

Nicepool

Sadly, we don't have any official images of Nicepool, but here's Deadpool and Wolverine driving in his car, a Honda Odyssey. Ryan Reynolds also plays this friendly, long-haired variant who has been consigned to living in the Void with only Dogpool (AKA Mary Poppins) for company. He's much more chill than the permanently wired version of Wade Wilson that we know and love, but sadly he lacks a healing factor, which means he comes to a tragic – and very, very gruesome – end before the end of the film. 

Dogpool

Everybody's favorite variant from the film is played by a pug/Chinese Crested mix named Peggy who once won Britain's Ugliest Dog competition. In the film she belongs to Nicepool. In real life she belongs to a woman named Holly Middleton who described the pup as "beautiful inside and out." We couldn't agree more. You can follow Dogpool on Instagram here.

Lady Deadpool

Lady Deadpool is the leader of the Deadpool Corps, who roam the wastelands of the Void. We never see who is playing her beneath the mask, though the film reveals that it's actually actor (and Ryan Reynolds' wife) Blake Lively. In the comics Lady Deadpool is Wanda Wilson of Earth-3010.

Headpool

One of the weirder variants we encounter in the film is the floating severed head of Deadpool. In the comics this strange undead creation is known as Headpool and he's from Earth-2149, the world of the Marvel Zombies comics. He's also occasionally been nicknamed "the Merc with half a Mouth."

Cowboy Deadpool

One of the most prominent Deadpools in the battle sequence is a gun-toting, cowboy-hat-wearing variant. He's actually played by a big name dipping his toes into the MCU – that's True Detective star Matthew McConaughey under the mask.

Kidpool

This is exactly what you would imagine - a child version of Deadpool, who gets his own foul-mouthed moment of glory. Kidpool is a fan favorite character in the comics, so it’s cool to see him on screen here.

Watari AKA Roninpool

Watari is identifiable in the battle sequence by his distinctive kasa straw hat. The character originally featured in 5 Ronin – a Marvel Comics limited series written by Peter Milligan and drawn by Leandro Fernández which reimagined various heroes as samurai. The other four characters in that book were Wolverine, Hulk, The Punisher, and Psylocke. 

Deadpool 2099

A strange, futuristic Deadpool looks a little out of place in the scene. This is Deadpool 2099 – AKA Warda Wilson from Earth-16356, a character created by Gerry Duggan and Scott Koblish for the Marvel 2099 comic series.

Golden Age Deadpool

One of the more imposing variants spotted is the gas-mask wearing Golden Age Deadpool, AKA "Wheezy Wilson". He's one of the original members of the Deadpool Corps and wields cutlasses instead of katanas.

Zenpool

The eerie, white-masked Deadpool variant who shows up in the battle scene is Zenpool, a peace-loving Wade Wilson who has turned his back on violence. Well, maybe not in this scene…

Peterpool

Former X-Force member Peter, played by Rob Delaney, was a breakout character from the second movie. He reappears at the start of this one, working in the same car lot as the down-in-the-dumps Wade Wilson. In fact, he has a secret identity too: Peterpool! He's able to call off the Corps' attack, saving both Deadpool and Wolverine in the process. Who knew he had it in him?
