Liefeld, also a fan of the Teen Titans comics, showed his new character to then-writer Fabian Nicieza. Because of this, he decided to give weapons to his new characters as well. Liefeld's favorite comic title before X-Men was Avengers, which featured weapons like Captain America's shield, Thor's hammer and Hawkeye's bow and arrow. According to Nicieza, Liefeld came up with the character's visual design and name, and Nicieza himself came up with the character's speech mannerisms. 3.5.1 Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universeįurther information: List of Deadpool titles 1990sĬreated by artist/writer Rob Liefeld and writer Fabian Nicieza, Deadpool made his first appearance in the pages of The New Mutants #98 cover dated Feb.3.3 Captain America: Who Won't Wield the Shield.He will continue playing the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
