Kno ck of f Fa ce O FF

Charac-

ter knock offs are not an

uncommon thing in comics. In fact
Deadpool him self is a rip-off of an DC super
villein named Deathstroke The Terminator. There
nearly identical: both fight teenage super hero teams, have
parallel bake storys, similar powers, are mercenarys, even have
matching names and costumes. In fact Deadpools creator artists/
writer Rod Liefeld took a lot of inspiration from the Teen Titan
comics where Deathstroke appeared in. When he showed Deadpool
to his coworker Fabian Nicieza, Nicieza replide This is Deathstroke
from the Teen Titans! The joke stuck, Giving Deadpool the name
Wade Wilson as a mock to Deathstrokes name Slade Wilson.
Wade over the years have become a parity of sorts which have
gained him massive popularity. As for Slade. He stayed a
dark vengeful force to be reckoned with. With that
in mind who do you think will win DC or
its Marvel knock offs.

What we know so far after six years of waiting
The ultimate comic- con movie

By Camille Vitale Deadpool is premiering Febru-

ary 12.
Ever since X-Men Origins
Wolverine came out in 2009
the Deadpool film has been
tipped-off. The movie seemed
to be hidden under a curtain
until the trailer release at the
San Diego Comic-Con in July
2015.
I didnt even know that
Deadpool was coming out
until the trailer, senior Rodney Young said. But now that
I know, Im really happy that
it is.
With all the excitement
stirred up its a question of
whether or not the movie will
live up to its expectations.
While some people may
want to watch X-Men Origins
Wolverine before Deadpool,
they should think twice.
Ryan Reynolds, is simply
a cameo as Deadpool, along
with other well-known comic
book characters.
Later in the movie he is Photo by 20 Century Fox
portrayed as a silent villain, exactly the opposite of what Deadpool should be.
I think that since every movie takes liberties with
character licenses its all right if they change a few things
here and there, senior Alex Phan said. As long as they
dont take it to far like changing the character to the point
where its not even the same thing anymore.
Originally, New Line Cinema obtained the rights to
the character and attempted to produce the movie with
writer/director David Goyer. Later, Goyer lost interest in
the project and New Line put it to rest.
Then, 20th Century Fox became interested in the

project and tried to make it a spin-off to X-Men Origins

Wolverine. The movie was set to premier in 2013 but was
pushed back to 2016 due to the disappointment of fans
with X-Men Origins.
It was later decided in the
movies development that it
would ignore all continuity to
X-Men Origins, rebooting
Deadpools character to act
like his former self. The movie
would also stay in the X-Men
movie universe.
In July 2015, Reynolds
and his former cast members
attended the San Diego Comic-Con to present the trailer
of the film. Audiences gave
the trailer a large amount of
positive feedback and stirred
up a lot of buzz through social
media.
Reynolds has been marketing the movie by not only
taking the role of the popular
anti-hero, but also making
him his livelihood, trick-ortreating as Deadpool and
even appearing as him for
Conan Tonight.
At first I was not anticipating the Deadpool movie
until I saw the trailer then I got very excited for it, senior
Malachi Watts said.
Critics have already seen the movie, but the reviews
are going to be held back until the movies debut. Deadpool has been rated R, which takes out a lot of potential
audience.
Until then, fans will just have to hang on (to the 4th
wall) for the movies release.
