We all want our favorite superheroes from Marvel Comics to have team-ups and crossovers in the wider lore, and thankfully, the brand indulges in these practices. Thus, since the fans wanted Deadpool and Spider-Man, two of the most quirky and verbally charming characters, together in the comics, Marvel decided to create a series titled Spider-Man/Deadpool.
In this particular version of their story, both Wade Wilson and Peter Parker work as a team when the need calls for it, and can be seen being good friends to each other. But one particular instance proves to be the death of the web-slinger, and to save his life, Wilson decides to inject him with his blood, extending his life for a long time, almost cursing him to immortality. And even when this comic takes a dark turn like this, fans call it Spier-Man’s least depressing tale.
How Deadpool Once Saved Spider-Man’s Life But Also Ended Up Cursing Him With Immortality
Where Peter Parker lives with responsibility and action, WadeWilson lives the life of a mercenary with little to no regard for anything else other than money.
Thus, the team-up between Spider-Man and Deadpool in the Spider-Man/Deadpool comic series was a surprising one, but also something that fans loved to the fullest, especially since this proved to be one of the most peaceful for the friendly-neighborhood superhero.
The peaceful bit comes from the narrative, where in issue #32, Spider-Man was on the brink of death while on a mission with Deadpool, Since the motormouth merc couldn’t watch his friend die, he decided to transfuse his blood with the web-slinger.
When Parker wakes up in the hospital the next day, he’s naturally surprised to be alive. The secret of his second chance in life is known only to Wilson and The Thing whom Deadpool revealed this to when Praker was still recovering (via ComicsUnlocked).
The comic then fast forwards into the future, where we find an old Parker living his life, which due to Wilson’s blood transfusion, gave him hyperactive regeneration powers, making him live a long life.
In fact, he outlived every family member and friend he knew in his life except Deadpool, who possessed the same powers he did. In the end, Spider-Man was left with nothing but loneliness and a wish to experience death.
How This Tale Was One Of Spider-Man’s Least Depressing Stories
Despite this story looking like one of the worst things a human could ask for, fans point out the borderline evil conclusions and arcs that the creators of the character subjected him to, which makes this look like mercy in comparison.
At the end of this series, when Parker saves his retirement home from being robbed, he decides to become Spider-Man one last time, but during that mission with Deadpool, ends up mortally wounded in his partner’s arms. He then revealed that he knew Wade had given him another chance at life, for which he could never be mad at him, and thus, forgave him as he took his last breath.
This proved to be one of the most peaceful ends to a Spider-Man tale since he had witnessed the companionship of family and friends before they all passed away, unlike his other stories where he experiences nothing but tragedy and suffering.
