00:00 "Don't just stand there, you ape. Give me a hand up."
00:02 "Nope, I'm actually okay. Thank you, Burt."
00:06 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 times Deadpool
00:11 and Wolverine sliced and diced together. While we won't talk about anything from
00:15 their MCU team-up film, beware of spoilers for other Marvel stories.
00:19 "Deadpool, I know you're around here."
00:22 "Hey, oh, it's you."
00:26 Number 10. Warding Off a Werewolf. Wolverine Annual '99.
00:31 While at a book signing, Logan realized that author Duncan Vess is a werewolf.
00:35 Shortly after Wolverine started to follow the writer, he ran into Deadpool. The two initially
00:45 clashed due to an old grudge and the tiny fact that the merc was hired to assassinate Vess.
00:51 However, the two agreed to a brief truce once another werewolf showed up to kill the writer.
00:57 "You see?"
00:58 Although Deadpool and Wolverine disagreed about every decision, they made a surprisingly
01:06 effective team. They're able to hold the evil lycanthrope off long enough to get Vess out of
01:11 danger. Despite the bumps in the road, this team-up marked the beginning of Wade and Logan's
01:16 love-hate friendship. This duo may never have worked together if it wasn't for a random werewolf.
01:21 [Growling]
01:26 Number 9. Joining a Supernatural Team. Marvel's Midnight Suns.
01:30 "You the new guy?" "Huh?"
01:33 "Sorry, the new fully customizable heroically upgradeable monster masher. Wisecracking anti-hero."
01:39 There's a universe where Deadpool ran into a member of the Midnight Suns team while trying
01:43 to steal an artifact. After those two successfully fight a villain together, Wade was invited to go
01:48 back to the Supernatural base while everyone else on the team loudly protests. "Come back with us to
01:54 the Abbey. The magical wards will protect you. You can hide there. Help us track down Sin.
02:00 Fight off the vampire infestation." "If you insist."
02:05 Once Deadpool accepted the invitation, he joined yet another group that features Wolverine. Although
02:10 it's up to the player to put the two together, this team-up counted because they're playing
02:14 for the same side. It feels great to control both of the iconic characters as they fight
02:18 through enemy forces. We hope that they get to team up again when the long-awaited Wolverine
02:24 game drops in 2025. "Why couldn't I get a metal skeleton? So many lessons in meddling."
02:31 Number 8. Assisting with an Assassination. Deadpool 2.
02:35 "Look, eventually you're gonna hang up the claws and it's gonna make a lot of people very sad."
02:42 Although Ryan Reynolds nailed Wade's personality in the 2009 film,
02:46 the script let him down by straying far away from his traditional look and story.
02:51 The filmmakers also committed the cardinal sin of sewing up his mouth. Nearly a decade after
02:56 this character assassination, Ryan Reynolds got a chance to tie up this horrible loose end.
03:01 Shortly after borrowing a time-sliding device, Deadpool went back to the past to kill Wade.
03:06 "Hey, it's me. Don't scratch. Just cleaning up the timelines."
03:11 This quick assist prevented Wolverine from engaging in an extended and annoying final
03:16 battle. Although Logan may not have understood what was going on, it's safe to say that his
03:21 not-so-silent partner saved him lots of trouble. "One day your old pal Wade's gonna ask you to get
03:26 back in the saddle again. And when he does, say yes." "Oh, right."
03:34 Number 7. Resisting the Sentinels. Weapon X - Days of Future Now
03:39 In many versions of the famous Days of Future Past storyline,
03:43 mutants are constantly persecuted and left fighting for their lives against villains and sentinels.
03:48 "There's 12 carries inbound. 10 miles." "They found us."
03:53 The Days of Future Now miniseries showed us a horrifying glimpse of what this world would look
03:58 like. During the dark story, we got a glimmer of hope when Wolverine brought Deadpool onto a new
04:03 team. We loved the idea of Wade shooting sentinels as Logan tore the robots apart himself. "This one's
04:10 for you, Marv." The comic even gave us a glimpse of Deadpool in an iconic yellow uniform.
04:22 Unfortunately, their partnership was cut short when an old ally somehow managed to kill Wade.
04:27 His tragic waste of potential made us appreciate the fact that the X-Men stopped this dark future
04:32 from happening. "Then we can stop the sentinels from ever being born." "And end this war before
04:38 it's ever begun." Number 6. Forming a Sinister Alliance. The 2016 Deadpool video game.
04:44 "Deadpool, it's Logan. Got your message. And for the last time, no, you cannot take our blackbird
04:52 out for a joyride. Stop calling about it." The X-Men typically prefer to keep Wade Wilson far
04:58 away from their official missions. However, Wolverine and his crew were still okay with
05:03 recruiting Wade to fight Mr. Sinister. Just minutes after their partnership started, Deadpool
05:08 crashed the X-Jet and knocked all his allies out. This hilarious twist gave us an unforgettable
05:13 scene where Wade tried and failed to wake Wolverine up with a series of slaps. "That's for
05:18 beating more comics than me. That's for making me love you. That's for making me hate you."
05:25 Fortunately for Deadpool, Logan was in a forgiving mood and still continued to work with the merc.
05:30 Since this all happened in Wade's video game, he did most of the heavy lifting during the
05:34 partnership. But it was still a treat to see the two of them try to make the best of a bad team up.
05:39 "Whatever, we gotta move. We need everybody on this one if we're gonna stop Sinister.
05:44 That means you too. Yeah, duh, it's my game." Number 5. Roughing up a Robotic Assassin.
05:51 Wolverine Deadpool, The Decoy. Logan was struggling to fight a powerful evil robot that came to Earth
05:58 just to assassinate Jean Grey. To make matters more complicated, its target just so happened
06:03 to be dead at the time. "I'm so sorry. I'll never hurt you or anyone ever again." Wolverine decided
06:13 the best way to stop the new foe was to bring in a distracting mutant that could withstand a lot
06:18 of punishment. Enter Deadpool. "Vac-teen?" "Yeah, vac-teen should do it." After a quick debrief,
06:27 Wade eagerly jumped into battle alongside Wolverine. Deadpool's improvisational style
06:31 clashed wonderfully against Logan's military-like precision. And when serious plans failed,
06:37 Wade dressed up like Jean to provide a big enough distraction for Wolverine to do what he does best.
06:42 Although this battle didn't help Deadpool join the X-Men, it did help Logan get over his feelings
06:47 for Jean. "Is this what you wanted?" "Not anymore." Number 4. Collaborating with Captain America.
06:56 The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. "This is your chance to be a hero among heroes."
07:03 "I smell what you're stepping in, Sensei." Upon realizing that villains were targeting
07:12 super-powered people that had been experimented on, Wade asked Steve Rogers and Wolverine to fight
07:16 these enemies. The situation got more personal when Wade learned his former love interest and
07:21 his child might both be in danger. "You're right, beautiful. Red really is my color."
07:26 "Great." With the stakes higher than ever, the trio fought twisted soldiers to save innocent lives.
07:34 While this team-up is full of funny moments, it notably has a heavy tone. Throughout the story,
07:39 Wade contemplates if he does more harm to those around him than good. He's left so distraught
07:44 that even Logan steps in to provide comforting words. Despite not having a happy ending,
07:49 this team-up is a must-read thanks to its strong action scenes and gripping story.
07:54 "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. For everything." Number 3. Fighting waves of robots. Wolverine Vol. 7
08:03 issues 20 to 23. When a big group of heroic mutants move to the island of Krakoa, Deadpool
08:09 never got a formal invitation. "You can't just dust off one of the famous X-Men. How about that
08:14 POTS with the giant pigeon wings? What do those do anyway, huh? Carry them three feet off the
08:17 ground to snatch up the nearest muffin crumb?" He got a chance to plead his case while he and
08:22 Wolverine were fighting robot copies of the X-Men. Since Logan really wasn't in the mood to entertain
08:28 Deadpool's shenanigans, he worked out his anger by really putting the Merc's healing factor to
08:32 the test. Outside of great action and black comedy body horror, this alliance stood out because Wade
08:37 was actually vulnerable. "We were gonna start a family. We were, uh, we were gonna be a family."
08:47 Deadpool spoke from his heart to earn his place among his fellow mutants.
08:50 And since Wolverine seemed like he didn't care, the moment he accepted Wade was surprising and
08:56 heartwarming. Who would have thought Logan would give Deadpool another chance to be a hero?
09:00 "You have a good heart. It belongs here where it can grow." Number 2. Saving a young mutant.
09:07 Deadpool vs. Old Man Logan. An older Logan found himself forced into battle once again when he saw
09:12 a young mutant girl was being hunted. "Why don't you tell me where the girl is first, or I could
09:17 ask you, boy. Seems quite friendly." "Told you she's not here." While trying to save her, Deadpool
09:22 arrived and tried to lend a hand. Logan and Wade actually worked well as a team at first. However,
09:28 everything changed once Wolverine learned a horrifying secret about the girl's past.
09:32 "You said you would take the child there. What is she?"
09:40 When Logan tried to contain the young mutant, Deadpool lashed out and tried to stop the hero.
09:45 This particular partnership was full of brilliant twists and turns that we won't entirely spoil
09:50 here. At the heart of it all was a tense friendship and layered debate about how
09:54 to treat troubled young mutants whose immense powers endanger everyone.

10:25 Number 1. Every time they become X-Force teammates. Various stories.
10:29 Wolverine and Deadpool aren't always on this famous mutant team at the same time.
10:42 But whenever they are, sparks and a few limbs are bound to fly. This mutant alliance often consists
10:48 of morally grey mutants who are willing to bend quite a few rules to do the right thing.
10:52 It's fascinating to see how Deadpool and Wolverine handle the same moral dilemmas in their own ways.
10:57 Putting them on the same team also gives us plenty of chances to witness their violent
11:18 and hilarious interactions. While Logan didn't make the roster in Deadpool 2,
11:23 we still have hopes we'll see him join Wade on the X-Force in live action or in a future
11:27 animated series. It'd be great to watch this unlikely duo fight evil on this uncanny mutant
11:33 team. Which Wolverine and Deadpool team up was the most memorable? Let us know in the comments.
11:44 "Scratchin' your ass, bub, and get into the fight!"
11:46 "He said ass, bub."
