The Golden Age Deadpool

From an unlikely source comes the newest member of the Deadpool family of characters: Fred Wilson, The Golden Age Deadpool.
Actually, I'm not sure if this falls into any legitimate Marvel continuity, since this is from a parody book; but if they can have a doggy Deadpool, then why not?
Two thumbs up for Marvel for this title. Since DC has officially abandoned the Ambush Bug character, it's looking like Marvel is the only company not afraid to make fun of themselves.

By Stuart Moore and Joe Quinones.
from CAPTAIN AMERICA: WHO WON'T WIELD THE SHIELD #1, June 2010

Besides the obvious draw for Deadpool fans, the framing story is hilarious in it's own right. The psychedelic Captain America story is pretty much hit-or-miss (for me, I felt that it's about 30 years too late to spoof 70s underground comics).
