Thor Hates Deadpool So Much He Keeps Killing Him (And Never Cares)

In Marvel‘s chaotic Deadpool comics, the most unlikely characters frequently interact with Wade Wilson, such as the God of Thunder, Thor (who never has any qualms about killing Deadpool). These strange scenarios offer fans unique exchanges that would never happen under usual circumstances. 2012’s Deadpool series includes several encounters between Thor and Deadpool. The Asgardian never fails to acknowledge how annoying he thinks Wade is, leading to several funny situations.

Thor and Deadpool may seem like a strange pair for a comic, but it just shows how connected everything in the Marvel Universe is. Black Panther is possibly the best example of a character with ties all over Marvel’s world. He is one of the oldest Avengers, got married to Storm of the X-Men, and first appeared in a Fantastic Four comic. Although Thor is the Prince of Asgard and one of the founding Avengers, Black Panther is just one possible link for a meeting with Deadpool (due to Wade’s frequent appearances in X-Men comics). Of course, both Thor and Deadpool also tend to operate in New York City—the intersection for almost every human character from Earth-616.

In Deadpool #1 by Brian Posehn, Gerry Duggan, and Tony Moore, Deadpool defeats a giant monster with the help of Thor. When they crawl out of the fallen creature, Thor says, “speak of this misadventure and your face shall feel Mjölnir’s kiss. Understand?” Wade then replies, “Yep, no blabbing, blogging, or tweeting about our marvelous team-up.” Before flying away, Thor expresses that the two never “teamed up.” It’s clear that Thor never intends on speaking to Deadpool again, but just a few months later, in Deadpool Annual #1 by Ben Acker, Ben Blacker, and Evan Shaner, Thor sees Deadpool again. Thor lands on a rooftop, where he sees Daredevil witnessing Deadpool fighting a lesser-known human mutate—Madcap, who has a more potent healing factor than Wade. Thor grows tired of their cartoonish fight and summons a lightning bolt, turning Deadpool and Madcap to ash.

Daredevil tells Thor that this display was “too much,” and Thor gives the excuse that he granted them both a “warrior’s death.” After Matt Murdock and Thor don’t detect any signs of life, they leave. A few moments later, Madcap and Deadpool heal into the same body. Lucky for them, they eventually find Thor with Luke Cage. Deadpool provokes them, asking if they’ve ever played tug of war. Deadpool convinces them to rip him in half. Like Matt, Luke asks Thor why he had to kill Deadpool. Again, he replies that Deadpool died a “warrior’s death” and leaves. After Luke and Thor’s disappearance, the two halves of Deadpool successfully recover as Madcap and Wade.

These stories prove that it wouldn’t come as a surprise if Deadpool’s big mouth got him killed at the hands of Thor in the future. Even though Thor‘s encounters with Wade are ridiculous, they definitely fit the tone of Deadpool‘s comics. Not only do they provide some amusing moments for fans looking for a laugh, but Wade’s comics also bring characters together from all different sides of Marvel‘s gigantic collection of superheroes, villains, and everything in between.
