Deadpool Lore Changes Today, As Wade Wilson Gets His Own Batmobile

Published Sep 2, 2026, 7:00 PM EDT Jared is a writer, editor, and Communications Studies graduate who loves popular nerd culture (almost anything to do with Marvel, DC, Star Wars, or The Lord of the Rings) and the interactive storytelling medium. Jared's first console was the PS1, wherein he fell for Spider-Man, Spyro the Dragon, and Crash Bandicoot. Deadpool has made a career of making enemies, and the crossover event he’s stumbling into guarantees that he’s made a particularly intimidating one. That said, the latest arc of Benjamin Percy’s Wade Wilson: Deadpool series is proof that he’s good at making friends, too, and one companion has proven to be quite valuable. Deadpool and Blind Al were allies, but they truly became a bona fide dynamic duo when Blind Al revealed that she was the source of the predictions that have been floating around as written omens (not that she’s the author of them, but rather that these predictions have been inexplicably coming to mind) and rescued Deadpool from Hammerhead’s clutches. And, with the immense wealth she’s accumulated by exploiting this superpower lucratively, Blind Al has unveiled what could easily be a vehicle as iconic to Deadpool as the Batmobile is to Batman. Thanks to the solicitation for Wade Wilson: Deadpool #10, scheduled to be released on November 11, it was already known that Deadpool would be receiving a sweet new ride. Plus, Josemaria Casanovas’ variant cover of Wade Wilson: Deadpool #9 gave an early tease of what this battering ram of a vehicle would look like. Now, Wade Wilson: Deadpool #8 has officially debuted Deadpool and Blind Al’s Merc Mobile, a magenta eighteen-wheeler that operates as a “business on wheels.” This vehicle is essentially a massive headquarters, complete with a full arsenal and a motorcycle. “MERC FOR HIRE” is indiscreetly slapped across the side of the truck in order to advertise their services, though whom Deadpool and Blind Al run into in this issue is probably the last person they’d expect or hope to. Wade Wilson: Deadpool’s titular Merc With a Mouth is still stuck dealing with Badpools, healing factor mutations that spawn and grow as hostile meat organism deformities from gruesomely estranged parts of Deadpool’s body, such as a “severed toe,” “blasted-off kneecap,” “popped eye”—Deadpool’s “pain,” as Tadpool says. This has apparently tossed Deadpool in the crosshairs of Frank Castle’s Punisher, and Microchip easily tracks Deadpool due to how obnoxious and unmissable the Merc Mobile is. Punisher doesn’t say a word to Deadpool before perforating and eviscerating him with bullets. In the last page and panels of Wade Wilson: Deadpool #8, which is only Part 1 of Marvel Comics’ Big Guns crossover event, Deadpool fries like a sunny-side-up egg on asphalt in several wads of flesh and tissue that are already beginning to regenerate into Badpools. Blind Al didn’t receive an omen for that, obviously. Wade Wilson: Deadpool #8 is out now. Created By Fabian Nicieza, Rob Liefeld Cast Ryan Reynolds First Appearance The New Mutants Alias Wade Wilson Alliance X-Men, Avengers, Astonishing Avengers, Deadpool Corps, Frightful Four, Great Lakes Initiative, Heroes for Hire, Mercs for Money, Secret Defenders, Six Pack, Thunderbolts, Weapon X, X-Force Race Mutant The merc with the mouth first appeared in an issue of New Mutants in 1990, and since then has gone on to get his own series and a massive cult following. With his incredible powers of healing and regeneration, Deadpool was initially depicted as an X-Men villain but went on to become an anti-hero. After getting his own movie series starting in 2016, the third Deadpool movie finally brings the wisecracking, fourth-wall-breaking character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
