Contrary to Beliefs, Deadpool…

Have you ever wondered about the collateral damage superheroes cause? Battles between caped crusaders and diabolical villains often leave cities in ruins. Yet, these consequences are seldom explored. Sometimes, these defenders intentionally take lives to overcome their adversaries.

Batman and Superman are renowned for their ‘no-kill’ policies. However, many of their colleagues aren’t as scrupulous. When facing monstrous or alien enemies, superheroes usually won’t hesitate to employ lethal force.

Counting Corpses with Deadpool

Now, let’s delve into the aggressive antics of a notorious antihero – Deadpool. Known for his willingness to kill, Deadpool’s cinematic kill count may surprise you. Despite his reputation, the body count doesn’t tower as high as you’d expect.

IMDb user, Creedswede, painstaikingly compiled the data, tallying the fatalities for both major and minor characters within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and otherwise.

• X-Men Origins: Wolverine: Eight
• Deadpool: Forty-two
• Deadpool 2: Fifty-nine (including one as Juggernaut)
• Deadpool & Wolverine: Forty-one

In total, Deadpool’s kills exceed 150. Yet, this figure only reflects his on-screen actions. It includes all his appearances, both within and outside the MCU. And despite the savage brutality of his personal films, Deadpool’s kill count remains relatively low, whether measured personally or comparatively.

Deadpool Versus Other Superheroes

From a personal perspective, Deadpool has eliminated around 150 individuals. A slow day for him, true fans might say. Comic aficionados will be well aware of the legions more he has dispatched within the graphic novels.

Comparatively speaking, his record isn’t stellar either. Even when taking into account all his films collectively, other superheroes edge him out on the body count. This discrepancy underscores the stark contrast between comic and cinematic incarnations of these characters. While the characters spring from comic storylines, on-screen portrayals often differ markedly.

Upcoming Adventures

Of course, Deadpool’s kill count may yet rise. Should he reprise his role in future movies, more casualties will undoubtedly add up. Rest assured the death toll is up to date, with the latest date of tally being up to Deadpool & Wolverine.
