Deadpooland Wolverine’s healing factor meets its match in one of Wade Wilson’s longtime enemies. Logan and Wade Wilson’s healing factor is both a blessing and a curse, as it allows them to recover from any wound but keeps them trapped in a permanent cycle of constant physical and psychological pain.
InWolverines & Deadpools #1, written by Cody Ziglar,Deadpool and Wolverine team up with their respective daughters, Deadpool and Wolverine. Their double team-up makes them virtually invincible as they’re just as deadly as they are impossible to harm. Still,the Wolverines and the Deadpools struggle to stop two villains as soon as they cross paths with them.
It doesn’t take long for Laura KInney and Ellie Camacho to meet their first enemy on the road, while their fathers cross paths with a familiar face.

Deadpool and Wolverine encounter Agent X, whose first move is to shoot himself in the throat so the bullet hits Wolverine’s eye right behind him. Deadpool barely has any time to comment on Agent X’s move before the villain is already leaping on top of him and kicking him in the face.As a Deadpool copycat, Agent X showcases more creativity and speed with his healing abilities than Wade Wilson himself.
Previously, Agent X demonstrated such talent at handling Deadpool’s powers that he successfully impersonated the Merc With a Mouth. Of course,it doesn’t help matters for Wade that Agent X seems to be enhanced by a longtime X-Men villain at the moment.Besides, as he admits to Wolverine,Deadpool’s own healing factor"ain’t what it used to be"since his encounter with Death Grip.
In 2024, the villain Death Grip removed Deadpool’s healing factor with the power of the Muramasa Blade. Although he survived the ordeal, Deadpool now possesses a severely weakened healing factor. Instead of recovering in seconds or minutes,Wade Wilson’s body now takes days to heal, and yet he’s left with scars.
There’s A Reason Why Wolverine Doesn’t Replicate Deadpool & Agent X’s Gross Fight Moves
Wolverine Is Numb To Pain, But He’s Exhausted
Deadpool has pulled off similar moves to Agent X’s bullet trickshot in the past, but he’s growing past the gimmick of willingly wounding himself in battle. Meanwhile,Wolverine has rarely put his body on the line if it isn’t completely necessary, let alone just to impress his enemies. Wolverine has been stripped to hisAdamantium-covered skeletonin battle, but only because he plows through every wound as he ignores the pain.
Wolverine isn’t impressed with the villain’s creative fight move, but Deadpool’s encounter with Agent X inWolverines and Deadpools #1might inspire Wade to recover his full healing capabilities in the future. While losing part of his healing factor helps him become more mature,Wade Wilson’s ability to put himself togetherwhile cracking jokes is an essential part of his character. Eventually,Deadpoolcould pull off Agent X’s exact same trick without long-lasting repercussions.
