Deadpool: Marvel Is Bringing Wade Wilson Back From the Dead

Marvel Jesus will rise again in 2025.

You didn’t think Wade Wilson would stay dead, did you? The regenerating degenerate died in Deadpool #6 in September when new villain Death Grip โ€” a student of Death herself โ€” absorbed the Muramasa Blade, a mystical weapon with the ability to nullify healing powers. Without his superhuman healing factor, Death Grip put the “Dead” in Deadpool as he tore Wade limb from limb. RIP (rest in pieces). Wade’s daughter, Ellie, made her debut as the new Deadpool in the pages of Deadpool #7 in October, but her solo stint is about to be as short-lived as a tray of chimichangas during a Golden Girls marathon.

Solicits for upcoming issues of Cody Ziglar’s run on Deadpool confirm that the Merc with a Mouth is set to return in Deadpool #10. Out Jan. 29, the issue sees the family business โ€” assassins-for-hire firm Deadpool & Daughters, LLC, consisting of Ellie, symbiote dog Princess, Doug Siravanta, and the mercenary Taskmaster โ€” back in, um, business, as the father-daughter Deadpool duo team up.

But first, Elliepool will face the mutant Atelier assassin Valentine Vuong and M.O.D.O.K., the Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing, as she seeks a way to resurrect her father, whose corpse is currently posed Weekend-at-Bernie’s-style in the conference room at D&D HQ.

Not-a-spoiler-alert: Wade will also headline a new ongoing series with his BBF (best bub forever) in Deadpool/Wolverine, which launches in January from writer Benjamin Percy (X-Force) and artist Joshua Cassera (X-Men).
