He may be overused, but at least he's an interesting character. Deadpool is a character used just to spew jokes out of and has as much depth as the paper the comic is printed oon. And he's become just as overused as Wolverine in the last few years.

I agree that Deadpool has become overused. Deadpool works best as a joke on Marvel and its universe. Unfortunately Marvel then turned the joke around and turned Deadpool into a perfect example of how Marvel manages to run things into the ground.

Though I don't find Wolverine that interesting either.

Funny, last night i read someone commenting on facebook that Deadpool is underrated (outside of the comic book world)

I thought Deadpool was actually pretty neat. He uses his jokes and loud mouth to distract himself from what he really is. I like that. I find his character interesting.

The only time I haven't liked Deadpool was in the movie where Ryan Reynolds played him, that was terrible.

Other than that I quite like Deadpool. Over used for sure at this point, but I like the parody aspect of the character in general moreso than how he's portrayed here and there.

Deadpool is one of the few Marvel characters I like, although his earlier stuff is definitely better.

I like the whole goofyness and schtick of it all, even if it is completely stupid and childish. As a person, I sometimes like to turn my brain off for a little bit of relaxing numbness. Deadpool works for that, along with my "bro" games, like Gears of War.

Now I want to try the Deadpool game...

He means the Green Lantern
Nono, you're all wrong. You mean Spider Man. Does he still have 7 concurrent monthly comics, or has that gone up or down since I last knew that factoid?

He has 2. Amazing Spider-Man and Avenging Spider-Man (basically the modern-day Spider-Man Team-Up). Unless you're counting spin-off titles like Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, Venom, and Scarlet Spider.

Hmm, a quick looks like there are also Superior Spider-Man and Spider-Men as well. UCSM sounds like something that would count, but I'm not reading any of them so I don't know. That'd still be 5.
