A Sudden Realization

Big News, True Believers!

Deadpool is basically Wolverine with guns instead of claws and an annoying wise-cracking attitude instead of an annoying grim-loner attitude. In fact, I just realized that they're really one and the same guy: a fast-healing mutant suffering from extreme (mutant) bi-polar disorder.

But, Tom, you say, while your idea is stuffed full of merit, there have been numerous Wolverine/Deadpool team-ups to cater to each hero's slavering fan-base. Surely such team-ups would be impossible for one mutant no matter how bad-ass he is.

I have two possible theories -- a.) A Tyler Durden scenario where such team-ups are filtered through Wolver-pool's fractured consciousness or b.) an additional mutant power allowing physical projection and embodiment of his psyche.

Worst case, I assume Deadpool is simply a poorly done clone of Wolverine. Nicaragua simply couldn't afford a high-quality super-soldier program, quality cloning equipment, or adamantium in sufficient quantities. So they grab some spit off Wolverine and hope for the best.

But I stick by my original theory that they're just one guy
