So, I love Deadpool.
A LOT of people love Deadpool
for a MULTITUDE of reasons. But the reason I love Deadpool, the reason I
think despite his antihero status he represents this sticker just as
well as any Avenger, is that at the heart of him is a guy that wants to
see the good guys win. A guy with incredibly low self esteem and a lot
of hidden vulnerability due to his abusive childhood and living with a
disfiguring illness whose favorite hero is Spiderman. Who fanboys out at
the chance to team up with the X-Men. Whose one true love is Bea
friggin' Arthur.
He's got layers, and ones I think readers of all ages and especially bullied kids can identify with.
Also he breaks the fourth wall and that's, like, hella cool.
