OUR STORY SO FAR: After a few early appearances as just another generic, disposable villain, Wade finally gets his foot in the door of the Marvel universe, well sort of. At this stage in the game, nobody knows for sure if he has any long-term appeal. But not to worry, the writers are on his side. They're working tirelessly (except when they're resting) to get him immersed into endless continuity porn (that's a real term, just look it up).

But at least she's been freed from the dungeon, and Tolliver, Copycat, and Deadpool have all been eliminated......or have they? |
