Did DEADPOOL Write the X-Men Comics in Logan?

Could Deadpool & Wolverine solve the mystery of the in-universe X-Men comics in Logan (2017)? Go to bluechew.com and use code NEWROCKSTARS to receive your first month FREE!
James Mangold's 2017 film Logan brought us closure for one of the most important characters in the20th Century Fox X-Men film franchise . But one big mystery from that film that is often overlooked is who exactly wrote the in-universe X-Men comics in that movie that glamorize some of the exploits of the X-Men over the years, but more importantly, lead mutants to a safe haven known as Eden. After recently rewatching Logan for our X-Men rewatch series, Erik Voss takes a closer look at all the clues to try and determine who this mysterious comic book author is, and whether or not these comics will be addressed in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine film this summer.

My favorite headcanon is that the other X-Men movies are fictionalized versions of real events within Logan’s history, some of which may have been recorded in Laura’s comics.

[@wh1tew0lfalpha]

I like this idea

[@Nouuhj]

Holy shit 🙀🙀🙀

[@BOrderlander]

This has always been my impression as well.. that him saying "maybe a quarter of it actually happened, and not like this" would be what Logan would also have said about the other movies as well. So maybe the movies exist in universe, or maybe just the comics, but both are fictionalization of actual real events that did get a couple things right.. hence the katana, dog tag, and statue of liberty reference.

The easy thing would just be turning “Shhh-Pool” from Wolverine Origins into “Head-Pool” from Earth-2149 …the fact his head decayed over time would give him the zombified look too lol.

[@MoonStarDust_]

I don't understand

[@milesbiglin1281]

Wades reasoning for helping the mutant kids is justified by his girlfriend saying your hearts not on the right place and he needs to save the kid.

[@milesbiglin1281]

The tva could say, “you can’t save your girlfriend by meddling with the timeline” so wade just decides to help as many kids as he can, since he can’t have his own

[@laurenbernardfrio7679]

Maybe Colossus drew the comics, but Deadpool tells or drafted the idea for the story.

True in one of the x men films colossus is seen drawing

nah i feel like cyclops wrote them. he’d be the one to put a safe house for mutants

[@johnstokes8893]

Logan says "self promoting" so it should be someone who's in those comics. Assuming he actually knows who it specifically was. We seem hung up on it being Wade but have we looked at everything xman in the books themselves.

[@tabathacarruthers5122]

I thought it was Cyclops. Seems implied by what Logan says about the comics.

It’s crazy how Deadpool and Wolverine are coming to the mcu.

[@rebellonedog]

I want to see Headpool. Maybe instead of using the Zombie variant, use the one from the Wolverine movie

[@Cheeseitsproductions]

I really like the idea of Logan being canon to the post DOFP timeline. It shows that no matter what they do, the future is dark for mutants

[@jacksykes4680]

I just had an idea They should have Wade fight a variant of himself being the Weapon 11 Deadpool Just imagine it

[@bluboy4ver2]

This makes me feel like I could see an adult Rictor meeting this Deadpool’s Shatterstar which would make me very happy.

[@Garret_DMG]

I’m thinking when he said “no self promoting asshole could stop it” I think he’s saying generally speaking no type of super hero who self promotes with a symbol or ideology could stop what the real world dishes out and in his point he’s saying this is real life and it’s a dangerous one especially being a mutant

[@bobbysworld281995]

If Deadpool is responsible for the infamous Continuity screws and makes the 7th Infinity Stone, that's beyond genius.

[@T.G.H.S.]

What if the tva come after Deadpool because he killed the other Deadpool so the comic’s weren’t made and none of the mutants could get to Canada 🤷‍♂️

[@babyfartmagezaks88]

I assumed the comics were made prior to the professor X incident and mutant genocide. Like they were made when the x men were still seen as a positive, and the authors just knew that mutant genocide was inevitable.

[@scorpiusbalthazar4327]

It was definitely before 2029.

[@RobertHayes-kd5iv]

I love every Deadpool movie and every time a Deadpool movie comes out it's like the event of the year to me.

[@Karateman10998]

Oh no they killed the "Snikt Snikt" from the X-Men ReWatch title 😂

[@ForgettableStranger]

Maybe my priorities are totally out of whack, but I haven't lost that much sleep over this issue.

[@shubhajames]

im just wondering does time/travel work differently throughout the multiverse? like between the foxverse, sonyverse and mcu??

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Colossus is one of my favorite XMen

[@KyleNabilcy]

@3:49 That Uncanny X-Men 275 issue is from 1991, so neither Bronze Age nor 80's -- fwiw

[@kronoslives2543]

I think the MCU's version of the beyonder could be introduced here, he's the one who created the fox verse then just like the celestials he created the MCU as a 2.0 and his "projects" are now caving in on itself. Which where we get secret wars. Only one version of certain ppl will stay , and alot will be gone "forever"

[@TheSsjJoker]

OH CANADA!!

[@mezuba]

Love Erik’s take on Colossus’ accent 😂

[@EmoryRicks]

alpha flight is on the people the mutants were escaping too

[@psychosweetheart5977]

It wouldn't be farfetched to have Deadpool and Colossus come up with the whole "use comics to lead mutants to Eden" plan together

[@intothefrayyo]

Okay

[@coldfire22]

Obviously when they made Logan these were all meant to just be vague ideas. But now that Deadpool and the multiverse and all that stuff is a thing, I HOPE these theories are true.

[@nakumeakune1369]

It's crazy how 2029 is closer to us now than 2017 was

[@beaclaassen2544]

Colossus + Deadpool, DEFINITELY. Would be AWESOME if this is confirmed. Cannot WAIT!!!

[@PrincessAngelaXOXO]

you know, this does bring up an interesting point. i assume not every student is cut out (nor even wants) to become an x-man. so what happens to them

[@colinwisner1016]

Pay attention to the main profile page guys, what you see here isn't what it seems.

[@magdalena_dewinter]

xavier school is meant to teach mutants how to safely handle their powers so if they don’t become hero’s they probably just live a normal life with the ability to control their mutation.

[@davechan8613]

Also the falling leaves on the “Death of a Mutant” cover are maple leaves.🍁

[@Alurkerdood]

One step closer to getting Jeff the Landshark to the MCU.

[@RACALDERONR]

I think Gambit made the comic books...

[@jacksykes4680]

Half of the stories would just be him writing about his fascination for Rogue

[@NateAllenOG]

That would be so sick

[@MarlinRando69]

The way I always understood the Eden location was that they were inspired to create a real sanctuary by the comic

[@RayMcElroy50]

They're too good for the MCU

[@TheAdultInTheRoom74]

I like this idea. It’s also a way to acknowledge the events of Logan without messing with them, as Ryan Reynolds promised they wouldn’t.

[@matthewfaison5477]

I swear blue chew is everywhere wasn’t expecting that

[@Lindo-uj4ne]

The way i look at it, The Logan timeline is a result of Deadpool X Wolverine.

[@xB1GW1GGLYx]

I like the idea the plot ends up being more silly like "someone changed the ending of Logan and the tva needs deadpools help to change it back"

[@AirbenderHawk]

And another one!!!! DP3 videos are coming left and right, and I'm all for it!

[@docmoorej]

As a collector, I would love to get my hand on these comic props.

[@FabioRaitz]

The comic book deal is to elegant and complex to be Deadpool's. Deadpool's deal is, get in, slice and dice, get out.

[@verlinsupersaintcasey6494]

Wolverine always used to talk about and felt that way about cyclops! Especially when it came to concerns about Jean Grey or should I say the Phoenix! He has been known to talk all kind of trash about cyclops. To the point where I kind of felt bad for Scott because he was all in there with Jean Grey until Logan showed up! Which I appreciated them putting in because even good girls go for a bad guys!😂😂😂

[@jboyer]

I thought they were setting up a Mister Sinister, to be honest 🤔

[@freddymartinez2240]

Everytime I hear those lines in the radio, I can't help but imagine what went on that day. I imagine that the main team perished saving the school, Colosus and Jubilee survived and live in the safehaven. I would think that if any of the others from the main team survived, that Logan would not have been the only one left taking care of Charles, even if he was the only one of them that could withstand the attacks.

[@vortecmacs]

Should have been breaking down the 90s animated series too

[@jacobholly2096]

I wonder who was the mutant that died in the comicbook?

[@StopMotionStuds]

If Marvel doesn't put Doop in DP3, I'm losing my crap.

[@saurabhsrivastava5895]

I guess the Logan movie timeline is entirely different from the other X-Men movies as those references you've mentioned is probably common for multiple universes where Logan has to go with those things in his life at multiple stages. Cage fighting etc could be just his thing in all of his variants.

[@clstuff1]

When I first watched Logan in theaters I was amazed they did the Colossus comic book nod. If you know X-Men, you’d know Colossus is a artist

[@alhicks6553]

I said the exact same thing because a lot of the variants are friends with alot of the same people in different universes

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Love Logan

[@not_fry]

damn this was posted 35 sec ago

[@travontisdale2410]

It's nice to see the wardrobe change

[@steev927]

I mean, the Avengers tower is up for sale at this point right? Deadpool did actually restore the Avengers, financially, within comic canon. He basically turned himself and all the other comic heroes into a marketing campaign that worked REALLY well. I think Wade is going to end up owning the Avengers tower by the post-credits of DP3.

[@dangaming415]

YOU DIDN'T SAY SNIKT SNIKT IN THE INTRO

[@vadercv]

just a thought here...what if Deadpool isn't in The Void in DP III? What if this is a peek into Battle World and this is where he "recruits" the version of Wolverine he needs to help him on his mission. I know it's a long shot but that would be kinda cool.

[@nicki8584]

Publicity tour colossus would be hilarious

[@chrissilva3408]

Hope cyclops makes an appearance

[@shadowslime3640]

Considering Pyro is gonna be in the movie it wouldn't be surprising

[@Mhdmishalk]

So hyped for Deadpool and Wolverine

[@josephpleimann6600]

I assumed he was referring to the fantady version of him that was in the comics promoting the X-Men, given he never wore it in his timeline. Not that it was another person, just that "that" version of him that the kids were looking for him to be couldn't save the world.

[@Sparrowverse]

I think that Wolverine was there when Deadpool drew the comics. I’m thinking that the wolverine we will meet in DP3 is logan before his last movie.

[@Film_Addict]

Maybe he illustrated the comics and Scott Summers wrote it… which is why he’s always the leader in the comics

[@TimeLessTraveled]

Also remember that Colossus is also very resistant to psychic attacks.

[@carlosgarza420]

I don't know E.....lol I have to see you take a Blue Chew in order to see if I will like it myself lol😂

[@lamarstaysweird]

If I remember correctly, there was a leaked photo of a Deadpool with long hair and he looked normal. No scabbed skin. Maybe that could be the Deadpool from Origins?

[@MisterGravelrama]

I would like to know what the "real 25%" of those comics are. Maybe give us some short stories/episodes like What If?

[@KumarGaurav-sh2sw]

@NewRockstars : I think that only reason why Wolverine could not heal from Adamantium poisoning is because somehow Xavier's psychic attack took a toll on his healing ability and swiped off a large amount of his life span & life force.

[@danielknight1162]

Deadpool created a branch where his friends live. Wolverine created a branch when he went back in time. Daniel Radcliff could be the wolverine variant with diamond claws and eyepatch.

[@user-xh5cm4bm8e]

That's REACHING lol I think the comics were just written from examples of the X-Men and the kids MADE Eden into what they thought it was was just a meeting place

[@shaunwallace6132]

Nah, this a massive reach 😂

[@capybara2671]

What if Mr. Sinister did something similar in the mcu but a lot earlier in the timeline and that's why mutants aren't really around.

[@drakejohn3751]

Logan movie should have addressed who was the saviour mutant and who all died or survived

[@SirsasthNigam.]

Logan died in Logan , Not touching that- Deadpool in Deadpool & Wolverine

[@dandavis2015]

If you look at the digital pages where Colossus is pushing Xavier in his chair, It says it was "Tradeyright 1985" in the publishing notes at the bottom of the page. Idk if this has anything to do with the plot or just a choice by the guys who worked on the comic.

[@str1k3r_67]

Make the Xmen Origins Deadpool into Headpool!

[@wooly9976]

They better do the fastball special in DP3 please 🙏

[@3KJV]

If It isn’t Deadpool, my top 3 candidates are 1) Steve Rogers - not the humble Cap we watched but the Cap who went back in time in Endgame who lived his life, maybe he was a comic writer and he also loved to draw back in Captain America 1. 2) Reed Richards - the fantastic 4 could have been “hiding” from the MCU in Canada. And the women’s voice was Sue Storm 3) Loki - God of Stories some how the recon it to be him post Loki season 2

[@CookinBurgers110]

I’m confused bc other channels say that snow scene is from Age of Ultron.

[@Drugsgamesandrockandroll]

Three and five mutants cos loganberry says Charles has been dead for a year since West Chester I think they tried to sell professor x having died during the sezure
