The Deadpool Corps explained: The comic book origins of Lady Deadpool, Dogpool, and the rest of the Deadpool and Wolverine team

Deadpool Corps #1.

What's better than one Deadpool? How about a whole team of Deadpools! That's the premise behind the Deadpool Corps, who have shown up in the most recent trailers for Deadpool and Wolverine. Led by the main Wade Wilson and shored up by variant characters such as Lady Deadpool and Dogpool, the Deadpool Corps comes straight out of comics, and their origins are quite similar to the apparent plot of the movie.

In comics, the Deadpool Corps first appeared in 2010's Prelude to Deadpool Corps written by Victor Gischler and drawn by Deadpool's co-creator Rob Liefeld. That limited series sets the stage for the subsequent 12-issue Deadpool Corps comic in which Wade Wilson is selected by a cosmic entity known as the Contemplator to defeat another cosmic entity known as the Awareness, which is out to devour the minds of everyone in the Multiverse.
