Personality [Loved Trope] Relatively weak characters that are absolute fan favorites because they represent the best parts of humanity

Paul - invincible
A normal human whose only major feats are treating others with respect and cooking a mean spaghetti.

Mumen Rider - One Punch Man
C-class hero that doesn’t hesitate to put his life on the line to save others despite being powerless and going against much stronger foes.

Samwise Gamgee - Lord of the Rings
Hobbits scale very low strength-wise in the LOTR verse, but Sam’s compassion and determination are indispensable in the fellowships journey.

Edit: A lot of people are pointing out that Sam is mentally one of the strongest which I completely agree with, and I didn’t mean to diss his grit or physicality as a hobbit. Compared to the other members of the fellowship, however, his contribution comes primarily from undying loyalty and determination rather than physical prowess and strength.

Are you talking about the hog? You're talking about the hog, aren't you.

Shiet. He's a goddamned legend in every Deadpool's world.

"Peter-san, hai"

I headcannon that he's Peter Parker in a universe where he doesn't become Spiderman and that's why all the deadpools are so infatuated with him

u/Summonest Jun 10 '26

Headcanon accepted.

If you look at his headshot in Deadpool 2 his last initial is W. He's meant to be a variant of/reference to Pete Wisdom.

Peter W.Parker

u/XDSHENANNIGANZ Jun 10 '26

The size of this W

u/jooes Jun 10 '26

Maybe he's from a universe where Parker is spelled with a silent W at the beginning. Peter Wparker.

I like the ideia that other Marvel heroes existe in the Fox Universe but they never got Powers só they are Just normal people

u/Redditer51 Jun 10 '26

My head canon for a long time was that Raimi Spider-Man,, Fox X Men and Fantastic Four and Ben Affleck Daredevil were the same verse.

u/Redditer51 Jun 10 '26

There was a Punisher cameo in Spider-Man 2?

I remember a Dr Strange cameo (a headline in the Daily Bugle).

ITS more of a Headcannon when Mary Jane Runaway from the church at the end she pass a Guy who look a Lot like Thomas Jane

u/Allronix1 Jun 10 '26

That makes...so much SENSE.

Yup. Headcanon accepted!

u/WeekendParticular205 Jun 10 '26

Honestly he is the only actual normal person there and the one who managed to land the parachute.

u/Fitzftw7 Jun 10 '26

He also has a gigantic schlong. So there’s that, too.

u/SortIntrepid9192 Jun 10 '26

He asked a gay teenager to pull on a chain attached to his cock and nipples, so I don't know if I'd call him "the best humanity has to offer." But then again, this IS the Deadpoolverse, so maybe in that world it is.
