Many superheroes have come and gone, but none have achieved what Ryan Reynolds has. While the Avengers did dominate headlines with their heroic feats, Deadpool took a different approach, as he typically does, by creating the perfect 21st-century superhero team-up with Wolverine, rather than being a lone, greedy player. The billion-dollar box office success speaks volumes about whether the duo delivered the chaos they promised. Meanwhile, fans have discovered another ideal sidekick for the Merc with a Mouth—someone who may not be Spider-Man, but who matches his charisma and love for antics.

When Ryan Reynolds introduced the Merc with a Mouth into the Marvel Cinematic Universe alongside the Clawed Canuck, Shawn Levy also expressed his wish to see Deadpool team up with the web-slinger. However, Blurayangel on X proposed an even better sidekick if Levy had to choose from Marvel's roster of heroes: the super-quirky weapon specialist and master tactician, Rocket Raccoon. Surprisingly, fans were quick to embrace this super-team, even more enthusiastically than the idea of pairing Deadpool with Spidey.

Deadpool & Wolverine demonstrated Ryan Reynolds’ tenacity and chemistry with a superhero but also various Deadpool variants, including Dogpool. Considering the wild antics they delivered in the year's biggest R-rated release, pairing Deadpool with Rocket Raccoon significantly boosts excitement. Rocket’s biting wit, weapon expertise, and tactical genius make him a sort of mini Deadpool in anthropomorphic form. Not to forget he has already become a standout fan-favorite because of his distinct personality and cutting tongue, much like Deadpool himself.

Consequently, fans have not only embraced the idea of this potential duo but also envisioned how they could craft the superhero love story of the decade.

Ryan Reynolds penned a tribute to the Fox era of Marvel comics, and Hugh Jackman described it as a romantic comedy of its kind. Now, with the suggestion of pairing Rocket Raccoon with the regenerative antihero, fans are eagerly anticipating a love story that could define the decade, with "Rocket Pool" emerging as a leading contender. While some fans are thrilled by this prospect, others have their own nominations to propose.

Many fans felt this idea could fit well with the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars or Doomsday. Some even expressed their enthusiasm for the inclusion of guns in the storyline.

Seeing Deadpool team up with any superhero is usually exciting, but his collaboration with Wolverine elevated fan expectations even further. If the opportunity for a "Rocket Pool" team-up arises, Reynolds could once again achieve something unique, solidifying his place as a defining antihero in history by adding a newbie to his minion gang.
