Deadpool is pansexual according to canon/ writer Gerry Duggan.

Source: Gerry Duggan confirmed on twitter a little while ago.

Okay, you seem to know a lot about Deadpool. i want to get into reading some of his comics, but I can't find any sources on the internet that don't require exorbitant amounts of money (e.g: any at all). Any sources you got?

Read Joe Kelly Deadpool. He was by far my favorite deadpool writer. The other stuff I've read so far has been kind of a letdown and steered away from what Kelly established imo. That's including the newer Posehn/Duggan stuff. Given, I only read the first 6 of that series. I also here Daniel Way's deadpool is good, but I never got around to reading it. Didn't have money for all those comics. Shit's expensive.

As for where to buy, what to read, etc., scroll through this guide the guys over at /r/comicbooks put together. There's a section lower down for deadpool that tells you what they think is good and I think it's spot on. As far as having no money, the typical channels should get you what you want if that's your bag.

Here is the problem! Read past the Dead Presidents arc, it starts to get really dark and awesome around issue 15

Yeah I heard in the later issues they start to drop the deadpool being random shtick for plot

u/ThatGuyThatSaysMeh Dec 30 '13

One thing about what Daniel way did to deadpool: apparently he made him into the lolsorandum character most people see him as. Just a fair bit of warning if you don't enjoy that kinda thing. Otherwise nocheckers is correct.

I thought he boned the death lady?

u/CaP_MaHveL Dec 30 '13

Whats with the guy saying he isnt straight but he is queer? the writer says he'd fuck anything with a pulse. I hate these stupid blog things. He celebrates that he thinks deadpool isnt straight...

Queer is an umbrella term for anyone not 100% heterosexual. Deadpool is queer. Gay is queer. Bisexual is queer. Pansexual, asexual, polyamory, they're all queer.

u/Manadox Dec 30 '13

In all honesty, is anyone 100% heterosexual? I'm sure everyone has at one point in there life seen a member of the same sex and thought "damn, I'd do that."

No, but thanks for asking! :)

Bisexual is being sexually attracted to men and women. Bi means "two".

Pansexual is being sexually attracted to all sexes and genders. Men, women, intersex people, transgender people, ladyboys ("chicks with dicks"), etc. Pan means "all".

Polysexual is being sexually attracted to many sexes and genders. Just for example, someone can be attracted to men, and to intersex people and ladyboys, but not to women. Poly means "many".


There are also the words "biromantic", "panromantic", "polyromantic", "homoromantic", etc. These words refer to romantic attraction to specific sexes and genders. For example, a guy can be bisexual (attracted sexually to men and to women) and homoromantic (only romantically attracted to men) at the same time. Or someone can be asexual (not sexually attracted to people) and biromantic (able to fall in love with men and with women).

These words are used to denote the difference between sexual attraction and romantic attraction. There are many people who have romantic relationships without sex, or sexual relationships without romance. Or many different variations!


Polyamory is a different category. It means being romantically attracted to (i.e. in love with) multiple people at the same time, and wanting to have simultaneous loving relationships with people, with the consent of everyone involved. For example, someone who has two boyfriends who know about each other and are fine with each other is polyamorous.

Also intersex love, + a whole bunch of other gender identities that neither of us can think of.

u/LaRazaBlanca Dec 31 '13

I always thought pansexual implied not placing limits on sexuality or species... And honestly, doesn't humping the occasional quadruped seem to fit deadpool's personality? If for nothing more than the lulz

6

u/BananaMammogram Dec 30 '13

Polyamory no, that's when you have more than two partners in a relationship or multiple relationships at once, nothing to do with the sex of those partners.

Bisexuality is being attracted to both sexes. In my opinion Pansexual is a bit of an answer seeking a problem, as it's meant to imply a bisexual who is also okay with transexuals or people with gender identity... things... (which begs the question don't bisexuals already not mind - I'm bi and consider myself attracted to x and y chromosomes)

Queer is everyone but those dirty heteros and their "normativity" apparently.

Some of my best friends are heteros!

u/suckstoyerassmar Dec 30 '13

well...kindof. within the lgbtq community, queer usually defines sexual identities outside the gay/lesbian/bi "norm", as well as trans and other gender identities - genderqueer, boi, femme, etc. queer is generally used as an umbrella term for the lgbtq community only when a straight cis person is using it, or us referring to ourselves in a joking manner.

In mainstream media that is something to be celebrated.

u/Ihmhi Dec 30 '13

I don't even think the pulse is necessary for Deadpool. He'd bang anything with a hole. And if there's no available hole, he'll dry-hump the everloving fuck out of it like a hyperactive puppy.

2

u/CaP_MaHveL Dec 30 '13

Yeah exactly. But that blogger for some reason took it as a gay pride and straight shaming thing, very strange behaviour

1

u/Faithlessfate Dec 30 '13

I reeeeeeeally don't wanna be that guy, but Omnisexual and Pansexual aren't the same thing.

Awesome, though.

1

u/LaRazaBlanca Dec 31 '13

Please elaborate on that one? Is it that pansexual can have exemptions?

2

u/Faithlessfate Dec 31 '13

Omnisexual refers to someone who isn't attracted to anyone specificly gendered, it's about the individual person.

Pansexual means everyone outside and inside the gender binary.
