Thanks for the links! I read them all; they look very funny. I've never been much into comics, but I might as well start with something fun if you're pimping it. And I'm going to keep imagining him as bishounen Ryan Reynolds under that mask! I don't care, that's how I saw him first, he's hot, I want that to be the way it goes, LA LA LA LAAA LAAAAAAAA!
There's like a running gag with Deadpool running into the X-Men and being all, "Ah, [names of X-Men here], how are you, my fellow mutant chums!" "YOU'RE NOT A MUTANT, DEADPOOL!" "Yes, how fondly I remember my days spent at Xavier's school kicking ass with my fellow X-Men for poor misunderstood mutants everywhere..." "YOU'RE NOT A X-MAN, DEADPOOL!"
Heh. Sounds fun. Though I wonder what the distinction is? I can see how Spiderman and Iron Man aren't mutants, because Spiderman is an accident of laser & radiation magic science, not a result of having the mutant gene. But wasn't Deadpool infused with the mutant gene? So isn't he now a mutant, even if he wasn't born one?
All this thinking about Wolverine and mutants and stuff this week put me in mind of the Heroes tv show, which is so horrifically bad that when I do occasionally think about it I'm trying to think of ways to make it less bad. And while watching Wolverine I kept thinking back to Claire's character, who is basically got the same instant healing thing (though she re-grows missing toes, so I don't know what she'd do if she lost her head.) She doesn't have the claws though... but if everyone and their aunt in Marvel has an instant healing factor and not much else (according to the wiki of silverfox you linked, that's her power too), then Claire would fit right in.
It also makes me think about scenarios where everything would be made more awesome if Buffy were involved. Like, I'd love to see Buffy and an army of Vampire Slayers just drop into the Wolverine movie, or anything X-Men, and say "Hey, we got this." And the traditional superheroes would be all "What? Who are you? I am Super Strong Person with Super Invulnerability and Super Speed and Super Eyesight and Super Psychic Powers and who the hell are you to think we should bother?"
And she'd be like, "I'm Buffy Summers. Hi."
"That's not a very impressive name."
"Well if you want to get technical, it's Vampire Slayer, the. Look it up when we're done here." And then the Slayer Army beats the shit out of everyone.
It's not very realistic as crossovers go, but every girl's gotta dream.
