In the magical world of movies, Ryan Reynolds showcased his versatility by lending his voice to Pikachu in the lively Pokémon flick, Detective Pikachu. But rewind a bit – before that electrifying gig, Reynolds owned the screen as the quick-witted Deadpool in the 2016 film and its 2018 sequel. Fast forward to today, both characters have etched their places in fans’ hearts. Now, imagine the thrill when an Instagram influencer decided to play mad scientist, merging the iconic Pikachu and Deadpool into one fantastic creation.

Enter the “Pikapool Helmet” – a quirky blend of Pikachu’s vibrant yellow hue and Deadpool’s signature black-eyed intensity. This helmet, crafted with creative finesse, added a dash of fun with heart-shaped white eyelids. The result came out as a must-have item that fans cannot resist grabbing. Additionally, all thanks to this ingenious influencer’s imaginative fusion.

A secret connection was captured in Deadpool #30, penned by the dynamic duo Gerry Duggan and Mike Hawthorne. In this, the wise-cracking antihero, Deadpool, took a cosmic joyride in search of the ultimate weapon to knock out his pesky nemesis, Madcap. The intergalactic escapade led him through an alien battleground and the Nova Corp, eventually landing him on Knowhere. Here, a case of mistaken identity sparked the attention of cosmic heavyweights, including the eccentric Collector.

As Deadpool explored the peculiar contents of the Collector’s cosmic menagerie, he found himself face-to-face with a creature bearing an unmistakable resemblance to the iconic Pikachu. The creature, nestled in the bottom-left corner of the page, captured Pikachu’s essence. Moreover, with its body type, ears, and a decidedly unamused expression, the crossover looked fine. The room’s eclectic mix of pop-culture icons, from ET to Slenderman, blurred the boundaries of Marvel’s multiverse, making Pikachu’s cameo seem right at home.
