The X-Men and Deadpool are interconnected by the same universe, because many members of the mutant squad dealt with Wade Wilson. At one time, he was offered to join a group of superheroes, but he did not consider himself suitable for saving the world and decided to live his own life. In the comics, their stories intersected many times, and in the films it happened twice.
Who are the X-Men
After the mutants were discovered, all future members of the X-Men and Deadpool team were also forced to hide, because they became outcasts in ordinary society. Professor Xavier, being an unusually strong telepath, managed to find many mutants and invite him to school, where they studied and became stronger.
Adult people with abilities united in a detachment that does not allow other powerful individuals to take over this world. In films, such personalities were Magneto, the Apocalypse, and the mutants of their personal units. The connection between the mutants of this detachment and Deadpool is obvious, because he was offered to join the struggle for the
future of the world, but he refused, although he often agreed to help them when the situation was critical.
Deadpool
Although the X-Men and Deadpool are connected by storylines, it was the hero in the red suit who became the favorite of the world public. In popularity, only one member of the mutant squad, Wolverine, can be compared with him. Deadpool's real name is Wade Wilson, and he never wanted to be a superhero. The guy worked as a mercenary and did various dirty work until he found out about his cancer. When he thought that the chances of survival no longer existed, a man approached him and offered to participate in an experiment that would help him recover. Wade agreed, and he managed to survive after the operation.
He even acquired incredible healing abilities, but instead got external ugliness. His whole skin looked like a continuous burn. For this reason, Wilson made himself a red and black suit, put on a mask and became known as Deadpool. In the movie X-Men, they are not involved in this operation. Cable was guilty, who in a special comic book series is Wade Wilson's worst enemy. A solo picture about Deadpool tells his story of the fight with this opponent and the rescue of the beloved woman Vanessa from the hands of the villain. It is worth mentioning that the hero became a favorite of the public due to his black humor and relevant jokes.
In a squad with Wolverine
In the X-Men film “Wolverine: The Beginning”, Deadpool first appeared on the screens of a big movie. The role was played by the famous actor Ryan Reynolds. Here he was in the background and was in the detachment of Colonel Stryker, where Logan was also with his brother. Together, they carried out a mission to search for a strange meteorite in Nigeria. The picture is focused on the story of Wolverine, about his supernatural abilities, but Wade Wilson managed to show himself.
Already in this film, he proved himself to be a master of sword possession with a cheerful character and daring jokes in the direction of allies and enemies. After the mission, Wade was captured by the people of the colonel and used for his terrible experiments. It combined the abilities of eleven other mutants. As a result of this, he became immortal, was able to quickly regenerate, as well as an exoskeleton built into the body.
Stryker used the fighter to counter Logan's strength and rage. In the X-Men film “Wolverine: Beginning”, Deadpool has a non-canonical image, because after the transformation he became cruel, and they began to use him as a weapon. In the comics, such a plot was not provided.
Deadpool Solo Movie
Many fans expected Deadpool to appear on a team of young mutants in the movie X-Men: Apocalypse, but that didn't happen. Instead, Marvel released a solo film about this superhero. The main role was played by the same Ryan Reynolds, and in him the image of the immortal guy in a red leotard is made as similar to the one that fans are used to seeing on the pages of the comic book.
The picture tells the story of how Wade Wilson agreed to conduct an experiment with his own body, about acquiring abilities and fighting against the main enemy of Ajax. X-Men and Deadpool are connected in the film of one universe, and some mutants from the squad help the protagonist. The Colossus and his student Supersonic Warhead appear in many scenes and offer Wilson to join the X-Men and to defend ordinary citizens. Each time he refuses, because his goal is to save his beloved Vanessa and live together with her.
