![]() Hope Summers is a character introduced in X-Men #205, created by Mike Carey and Chris Bachalo. – Cable mentions his daughter’s name is Hope. Despite the claim that the world is ruined, we never get a good look at what that entails. – So what do we know about Cable’s future? He mentions that it’s about 50 years later (which would make him age appropriate to be Cyclops’ kid without having to send him further into the future like in the comics), though grown-up Firefist appears to be plenty younger. – Fun fact: for people who got to see early screenings of Deadpool 2, it came with a video of Deadpool begging us not to check Cable’s Wikipedia page because it’s too much of a mindfuck. The ’90s X-Men cartoon never even got around to explaining who he was, only giving us the occasional hint that he had something to do with Cyclops and Jean. The movie doesn’t really get into much about what he’s about, but to be fair, the comics took their time on that too. He was raised in a horrifying future ruled by Apocalypse and dedicated himself to going back in time to prevent that reality from ever taking place. A mysterious time traveler, he was later revealed to be the son of Scott Summers and Madeline Pryor (a clone of Jean Grey). – Cable, real name Nathan Summers, made his first adult appearance in New Mutants #87 as created by Louise Simonson and Rob Liefeld. Shockingly, despite the first movie’s popularity, Vanessa was never brought back in the comics and only got one mention since. Vanessa ended up being mauled to death by Sabretooth and, much like the movie, died in Wade’s arms. Deadpool refused and instead tried to defend her against their various soldiers. In Deadpool #59 by Frank Tieri and Georges Jeanty, Deadpool was given the order by Weapon X to kill Vanessa, otherwise known as the mutant Copycat. – Vanessa did also die in the comics, albeit under very, very different circumstances. Coincidentally, he joined the team in response to Cable’s supposed death. This ends up making him look like how he dresses in the Rick Remender X-Force series. – Towards the end of the movie, Deadpool is covered with ash and his red costume becomes gray. His movements are exactly like Wade Wilson’s swordplay in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. – Deadpool tries deflecting Cable’s bullets with his katanas at one point, only to realize that several of them made it through his torso. This is similar to a story arc in Deadpool #16 from the Daniel Way run where Deadpool insisted on joining the X-Men. – As an X-Men trainee, Deadpool wears an ugly team outfit over his own. This segment appears in the Super Duper Cut of Deadpool 2. The first movie’s earlier draft even had a segment dedicated to Wade trying to off himself again and again and constantly failing due to his healing factor. – Deadpool’s frustration at being suicidal and being unable to see it through is a regular occurrence in the comics. – Deadpool popping out of a coffin to assassinate someone was done in Deadpool Team-Up #898, as part of an alliance with the Zapata Brothers. – Deadpool prepares for his first job in the movie by listening to “X Gone Give it to You” by DMX, which was a prominent theme to the first movie. There was nothing especially wrong with Wade’s father, though Deadpool unknowingly killed him as part of a memory-wiping experiment. Gerry Duggan later insisted that those were false memories. Then Fabian Nicieza had his own version where Wade’s father was a strict, albeit well-meaning, military man who died trying to pull Wade away from hanging out with a dangerous crowd. First there’s the Christopher Priest take, where Wade’s father was a lowlife who walked out on him when he was a child. ![]() In the comics, there were three different takes on what Wade’s father was like. – Early on, Wade discusses how horrible his father was.
