Breaking the fourth wall is an art, one Marvel Comics has refined with characters like Deadpool and She-Hulk. But those characters are usually only aware they exist as fictional beings; to them, their universe is perfectly normal and goes uncommented on. Gwenpool, however, knows exactly what kind of world she lives in. A comic book superfan who’s whisked into the Marvel universe and wears a costume remarkably like Deadpool’s, she’s a mutant who wields reality-shifting powers and shows no shame in criticizing the writers who pen her.
Despite her name, Gwenpool is unrelated to Gwen Stacy. She’s actually named Gwendolyn Poole, and she got her start on a variant cover for Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars #2 back in 2015. A decade later, Gwenpool is changing, and in a way that undoes one of Marvel’s most devastating — and sacred — moments.
