Deadpool has a lot of buttons compared to some of the other heroes in Marvel Rivals. As a triple-role hero, not only do the abilities vary from role to role, but he also has two weapon forms (Desert Eagles and katanas) with their own abilities and even unique Ultimates.
But don’t forget that Deadpool also has a skill book where you can upgrade abilities throughout the match. Most of the upgrades improve the damage or the healing of the abilities, but there are a few exceptions. For example, upgraded Headshot! on Duelist can be thrown up to three times like a boomerang.
Here are all of Deadpool’s base abilities across all three roles and both weapon forms in Marvel Rivals.
