Deadpool's 15 Best Ex-Girlfriends in Marvel History

Summary

• Deadpool’s love life is complicated, but his relationship with Black Widow was short-lived due to her not wanting to get closer.
• Shiklah and Deadpool’s marriage quickly fell apart as she cheated on him and left him for her original fiancé, Dracula.
• Copycat, also known as Vanessa, had a tumultuous relationship with Deadpool, including her death at the hands of the Weapon X project.

Deadpool has lived a very full life, with enough love interests to have their own comic series. From civilians who fell for the Merc with a Mouth to superheroes that one would never expect to see him partnered with, Deadpool has had his ups and downs in the relationship department.

While Wade Wilson may have a personality that can be irksome, even flat out annoying to some, he has managed to charm his way into the hearts of many. Given how complicated Deadpool is as a character, it should come as no surprise that his love interests have their own hangups. One love of his was even an incarnation of Death. Talk about baggage. Here are the best love interests in Deadpool’s history.

15 Big Bertha

Debuted In 1989

After joining the Great Lake Avengers as a reverse member, the team starts to regret inviting Deadpool, as he never leaves their base and simply watches porn and Maude all day on their couch. This results in the team, desperate to remove Deadpool, asking fellow member Big Bertha to seduce him. Willing to take one for the team, Big Bertha asks Deadpool out, which is absolutely overjoyed about. But when Big Bertha shows up in her civilian identity, which is decidedly less big than her superhero form, Deadpool can’t hide his disappointment.

Ultimately, Big Bertha and Deadpool didn’t work out as a couple and only had one date. While most might think Deadpool was genuine in his attraction to Big Bertha, it’s pointed out by Bertha herself that he’s likely just fetishizing her superhero form. On top of this, Bertha immediately pukes upon seeing Deadpool’s real face, showing that while Deadpool was very attracted to Big Bertha, the feeling wasn’t mutual.

14 Carol Danvers

Debuted in 1967

When she was Ms. Marvel, before adopting the “Captain Marvel” mantle, Carol Danvers met Deadpool when they banded together to defeat a mass of aliens that were able to control the minds of humans. The experience was not only successful in destroying the troublesome aliens, but it also established a relationship between the supers. The pair got so close that they were nearly married. Had it not been for Captain American interrupting their Vegas wedding to reveal that Carol had been controlled by one of the aliens the whole time, they would have married. However, knowing Deadpool, it would have ended in annulment soon enough regardless.

13 Black Widow

Debuted in 1964

A surprising and seemingly mismatched pairing, Deadpool and Black Widow dated, albeit for a short period. They met while facing the Thunderbolts, yet it was not love at first sight for Black Widow. Instead, Wade eventually found a way to get under her tough exterior and find a way to her heart. However, he didn’t pierce her tough armor enough; she ended the relationship not long after they got together because she didn’t want them to get any closer.

12 Satana

Debuted In 1973

Satana is a literal demon from hell and one of Wade Wilson’s former love interests. How Deadpool came to marry a demon of hell is unsurprisingly a ridiculous story, after Satana loses her soul in a high-stakes poker game, she seeks out Deadpool to help get it back.

Deadpool realizes that the people running the poker game intend to marry Satana to become the next heir to Hell. To prevent this from happening, Deadpool marries Satana himself, becoming the heir to hell and binding their souls together. This eventually ends with Satana regaining her soul, divorcing Deadpool, and taking half of his soul as part of the divorce agreement.

11 Shiklah

Debuted in 2014

One of the weirdest romances of Marvel, Shiklah and Deadpool seemed doomed from the beginning. Meeting when Deadpool was tasked with bringing the betrothed Shiklah to her fiance, Dracula, Deadpool instead romanced her himself. They married in a ceremony that was even officiated by Nightcrawler. However, a happy ending was not in the cards for them as she started to resent Wade for neglecting her. She started to cheat on him, with one notable affair partner being Werewolf by Night (which seems like an apt pairing for the Queen of the Undead/Succubus). Before long, she left Deadpool for Dracula, the person she was originally engaged to in the first place.

10 Mystique

Debuted In 1978

One of the most surprising and unexplained marriages was to Mystique. Readers saw this surprising reveal in Deadpool #27, where Deadpool tracks Mystique down to a bar, which nearly results in a gunfight. While Mystique thought Deadpool was trying to capture her for a previous encounter the two had, all he really wanted was for her to sign some divorce papers. Considering he needed divorce and not just an annulment, means that their marriage was completely and truly legitimate. Exactly why they got married, and why the marriage failed, remains a mystery though.

9 Jennifer Kale

Debuted In 2015

Deadpool has a strange habit of marrying royalty and this habit continued when he entered the Weirdworld. Deadpool ended up here after chasing down an accountant he intended to kill. Once he was in Weirdworld though, Deadpool was quickly drawn into the bizarre politics and ended up meeting and marrying Jennifer Kale, the Swamp Queen. Due to how time worked in the Weirdworld, Jennifer and Deadpool’s marriage actually lasted several years. After Deadpool eventually left Weirdworld, his marriage to Jennifer unfortunately fell apart.

8 Copycat

Debuted in 1990

While perhaps more well known as simply Vanessa by fans of the 2016 and 2019 Deadpool films, Copycat is a mutant shapeshifter. Vanessa met Wade before he was Deadpool and they fell in love quickly. However, when Wade was diagnosed with cancer he broke up with her. They would then go on to have a complicated history with Copycat trying to recruit Wade into the Weapon X project. However, after her memory went haywire, she tried to seduce him instead. After they broke up due to his love for Siryn, Copycat would use her shapeshifitng powers to turn into the women he loved in order to mess with him. Deadpool later was tasked with killing her by the Weapon X project, but he refused and tried to protect her. Unfortunately, his efforts were unsuccessful and she died in his arms.

7 Anastasia

Debuted In 2000

Anastasia is one of the more tragic relationships Deadpool has ever had. A tattoo artist, the two met when Deadpool was hired to kill a ton of mobsters, which Deadpool had no issue doing. Unknown to Deadpool, these mobsters were all Anastasia’s former lovers, and it was all just a plot to free Anastasia from them. Deadpool quickly fell for Anastasia’s beauty, and it truly seemed that Anastasia was attracted to Deadpool, even without his mask. Unfortunately, Anastasia ended up betraying Deadpool for her own benefit, and when she returned to him for help, he shot her dead in response.

6 Death

Debuted in 1940

Deadpool likes to live dangerously, including in his love life. As a result, is it really all that surprising that Deadpool would get into a relationship with Death (and not figuratively)? Lady Death and Wade met after his multiple near-death experiences, and the two of them soon fell in love. They loved each other so much that Deadpool tried to die in order to be close to her. However, Thanos, who’s also had feelings for Death, did not take kindly to competition for his love interest. He cursed Deadpool with immortality, consequently destroying any chances of Death and Deadpool being together for keeps.

5 Siryn

Debuted in 1980

The mutant daughter of Banshee, Siryn is gifted with sonic powers, which made her a valued member of the X-Force. It was on the X-Force team where she met the wisecracking but (occasionally) charming Deadpool. He was infatuated with Siryn to the point of obsession. Rather than be scared off by this, Siryn found it endearing. Although Siryn has a soft spot for Deadpool, she never wanted a full-fledged relationship with him. The interest in one another, though, had the important effect of setting Deadpool down a path that showed him he was capable of heroics, even if it did start out as just a way to attract Siryn.

4 Rogue

Debuted in 1980

A very short-lived romance, Rogue and Deadpool shared a warm and accepting relationship nevertheless. Meeting when they fought Red Skull as part of Captain America’s Avengers Unity Squad, the pair celebrated their victory with a kiss. Given Rogue’s powers, when she kissed him, she inadvertently took on Wade’s scarred appearance. Instead of recoiling at her new visage, she embraced it, communicating to Deadpool that she was not going to judge him or hold his looks against him. That was about as far as their romance went, but it was meaningful to Wade, which is not usually an easy thing to accomplish.

3 Valentine Vuong

Debuted in 2022

A recent addition to Deadpool’s long list of love interests, Valentine Vuong first appeared in 2022’s Deadpool (Vol. 9) #1. This non-binary assassin was originally tasked with a not so romantic task: to recruit Deadpool to be the leader of the Atelier Assassins Guild, of which they are a member. While Valentine was not successful in making Deadpool the Atelier leader, they fell for him instead. They have actually saved his life multiple times, including saving him from a symbiote.

2 Mercedes Wilson

Debuted in 1999

The wife of Deadpool for a time, Mercedes has quite the complicated story. She and Wade had an idyllic relationship and marriage (a rare occurrence for Deadpool’s love life) until they rescued a man named T-Ray who claimed to be Wade Wilson. T-Ray killed Mercedes, leaving the real (or maybe not real) Deadpool heartbroken. To really send his cruelty home, T-Ray brought Mercedes back to life to mess with Wade’s head. When Deadpool ran into Mercedes again after Bullseye puts a hit out on her, she ended up leaving with T-Ray. To make things just a bit more confusing, the appearance of Mercedes has changed drastically since her debut; she started out as a raven-haired beauty who seemed like a regular non-super, but later transformed into a redhead with mystical powers and a look to go with it.

1 Carmelita

Debuted in 2013

Carmelita Camacho had a brief relationship with Wade that produced their daughter, Eleanor. It wasn’t until later, however, that Wade learned of his progeny. While Eleanor would eventually become a big part of Wade’s story, he actually turned away from his former flame and his child when Carmelita first told him of his daughter’s existence, as he thought they would be better off without him. However, things would all change when a Weapon X scientist kidnapped Carmelita in hopes of blackmailing Deadpool. Wade tried to rescue her, but he was too late and, as a result, was left as the guardian of Eleanor. He would later go on to have a close relationship with his daughter, and the fact that she brought Eleanor into his life makes Carmelita perhaps the most significant of all of Deadpool‘s romantic interests.
