When the Deadpool Corps, a team of multiversal Deadpools, was introduced, its membership included Kidpool, a child version of everyone’s favorite Merc with a Mouth. Cut to a few years later, the character made the jump from the comics to the big screen in this summer’s Deadpool & Wolverine, except this time portrayed as a young girl since Ryan Reynolds‘ 7-year old daughter Inez played the role.
Today Marvel announced that the cinematic version of Kidpool will be making her comics debut in a special Kidpool & Spider-Boy one-shot comic from writer Christopher Yost and artist Nathan Stockman.
The announcement shouldn’t come as a complete surprise since Marvel is no stranger to more closely aligning characters with their cinematic depictions.
Details below:
Over the summer, Deadpool & Wolverine introduced fans to an army of Deadpool variants and standing out amongst the crowd was KIDPOOL! This December, this breakout star enters the Marvel Comics universe for the first time ever in KIDPOOL & SPIDER-BOY #1, a one-shot by superstar writer Christopher Yost, artist Nathan Stockman, and more.
It’s a historic first meeting as your new favorite foul-mouthed adolescent, KIDPOOL, teams up with another one of the biggest debut characters in recent memory, SPIDER-BOY! Will the Adolescent-Arachnid be able to keep the Murderous Middle-Grader from causing the return of the Comics Code? UNLIKELY! But Bailey is going to try! And could this all-new KIDPOOL be the very same one from the multiverse-shattering movie? Nothing is off limits when it comes to the Merc with a Mouth!
