Deadpool & Wolverine boasts a multiverse-worth of Deadpool variants â so weâve decided to rank âem! But just the major ones with official names and credited actors; weâre not listing out every background member of the Deadpool Corps here!
Special Mentions
Before we get into the rankings proper, there are three ânon-majorâ Deadpool variants we think deserve a shout out: Welshpool, Haroldpool, and Canadapool. These guys donât enjoy the level of screentime or prominence as the other characters on this list, yet theyâre fun inclusions just the same.
Welshpool is portrayed by footballer Paul Mullin, who plays for Wrexham A.F.C. (the team co-owned by Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds). Haroldpool is (as his name suggests) brought to life by Harry Holland â the younger brother of the MCUâs Spider-Man, Tom Holland. And Canadapool is played by Alex Kyshkovych, Reynoldsâ stunt double. Now, on to the main event!
Headpool
Headpool is a floating, disembodied zombie head. Thatâs cool. Heâs voiced by beloved actor (and MCU cameo veteran) Nathan Fillion. Thatâs also cool. But Headpool is more of a gimmick â albeit a delightful one â than a character in Deadpool & Wolverine. Heâs hovering, undead noggin; thatâs about it. As such, Headpoolâs an easy pick for the bottom slot in our Deadpool variant rankings. Still, props to Headpool for pulling off a propeller beanie in 2024, and (figuratively) standing apart from a crowded field of alternate Wade Wilsons.
Kidpool and Babypool
Like Headpool, Kidpool and Babypool (who are so similar, weâve grouped them together) donât really bring much to the table beyond the obvious. Theyâre incongruously cute child versions of the Merc with a Mouth, and the older one cusses. Oh, and Kidpool and Babypool are played by Ryan Reynoldsâ two youngest children, Inez and Olin Reynolds, respectively. Thatâs all good stuff, however, it lacks the depth of this listâs other entries. So, no top three slot for this pair of spandex-clad tykes.
Cowboypool
Cowboypool is a gunslinger version of Deadpool. The appeal of this concept should be obvious â and it gets better. As anyone who scanned Deadpool & Wolverineâs credits already knows, Cowboypool was voiced by none other than Matthew McConaughey! Itâs a spot-on bit of casting that elevates a potentially one-note variant to a whole ânother level. Heck, it boosts the rewatchability of the movie itself; once you know McConaughey is in it, you immediately want to revisit his scene! It also doesnât hurt that McConaughey really commits to the bit, playing up his Texan drawl to great effect.
Lady Deadpool
Ryan Reynoldsâ kids arenât his only family members in Deadpool & Wolverine â his wife, Blake Lively, also takes part in the chaos! Fittingly, Lively voices a female Deadpool variant, Lady Deadpool, who proves a badass foil for her husbandâs character.
Thereâs more to Livelyâs cameo than just her ties to Reynolds, though. Comic book creator Rob Liefeld has publicly acknowledged the one-time Gossip Girl star as the inspiration for Lady Deadpoolâs original design. This adds an extra, meta-layer to Deadpool & Wolverineâs Lady Deadpool (as does a gag about Livelyâs pre-shoot pregnancy), which is exactly what we want from such a famously fourth wall-breaking franchise.
Nicepool
What if Wade Wilson was a sincere, insufferably good-natured person? Nicepool is the living, breathing embodiment of the answer to that question. Played by Reynolds sans Wadeâs usual facial scarring prosthetics, Nicepoolâs interplay with the visibly unimpressed Deadpool supplies some of the third Deadpool outingâs biggest laughs. (That death scene? Amazing).
Sure, heâs as much of a caricature as any of the lower-ranked variants on this list, however, the dynamic Nicepool shares with his not-so-benevolent counterpart allows for more expansive humor.
Mary Puppins / Dogpool
Was there any other choice? Wade Wilsonâs favorite Deadpool variant is ours, too: Mary Puppins, otherwise known as Dogpool. This so-ugly-sheâs-cute mutt brings out Deadpoolâs softer side, which is important given how dubious his behavior is for much of Deadpool & Wolverineâs 128-minute runtime.
Wolverineâs irritation (even downright discomfort, at times) with his partnerâs new four-legged friend is priceless, as well. That Dogpool is originally Nicepoolâs pet â resulting in Wade eventually murdering her owner by proxy â is the icing on the cake. âDeadpool as a dogâ may not be the most high-brow concept, but it is the most rewarding.
