If you're a fan of Marvel Strike Force [Free], you've undoubtedly noticed that it keeps things mostly within the Marvel Cinematic Universe in terms of character selection. That is to say that the heroes and villains are primarily inspired by the ones you see on TV and in movies and not as much by the comics. Still, the presence of Wolverine means they aren't limited to just Marvel Studios fare, and the arrival of Deadpool and Cable just in time for Deadpool 2 could kick down the doors for more just as assuredly as the Merc with a Mouth kicks down the fourth wall.
Indeed, there isn't even any waiting for Deadpool because he's already here. In fact, if you load up Marvel Strike Force right now, he's literally everywhere, taking over all the spots in the game's loading screen, which is a very Deadpool thing to do.
You can add Deadpool to your team now, though you need to assume responsibility for your actions if you do. He is not a Blaster, which is a bit odd considering that only Frank Castle loves guns more among Marvel heroes, but is instead a brawler with a Dual Pistols basic attack that can do bonus follow-up attacks and a Bounty Hunter ability that lets him ignore Taunts. Hack 'N' Slash can chain damage to multiple targets, and since he's notoriously hard to kill, Deadpool's final ability can revive him and heal him depending on how many debuffs he has at any given time.
Even more delightful is the way that FoxNext Games is introducing Deadpool in the following trailer....
