X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Coming off of the Spideypool issue, we now have Daredevil as a guest star, only it’s less ‘sexual tension’ and more ‘missed opportunity’.

If you know anything about Deadpool then you know he has some bad history with Typhoid Mary. She raped him, not to mention the other emotionally damaging crap she did to him. Daredevil also had some bleak history with the woman as when they first met he accidently pushed her out a window, nearly killing her, and possibly starting her psychotic break.

Now, I don’t really expect a whole issue dealing with this, but the simple fact that it’s just brushed over in a simple statement “Hi Kettle! Meet Black! You used to date Typhoid Mary and run with the Hand” kinda annoys me. That Deadpool would almost belittle what she did to him by using it as a joke, and not even a good joke, makes me wonder if Posehn really understands Deadpool’s history or even accepts that what she did to him was truly rape.

But I’ll accept that this is something of a nitpick seeing as there is a wider story here, but I really hope that Posehn and Marvel take the time to really think about what they are doing with Deadpool as a character and not keep reducing him to a one-note joke.
