Summary
The meanest hero thatDeadpoolever met is getting a solo comic series series, as Negasonic Teenage Warhead – played by Brianna Hildebrand in theDeadpoolfilm trilogy – is finally ready to steal the spotlight. Before achieving a cult following thanks to her movie appearances,the character was one of Marvel’s most obscure mutants – but now the character is popular enough to have earned her own title.
As announced by Marvel,Negasonic Teenage Warhead#1– writtenby Andrew Wheeler, with art by Carola Borelli– will collect the character’s critically acclaimed story arc fromMarvel’s Voices Infinity Comic,with the potential success of the one-shot perhaps paving the way for new Negasonic stories to come.
Overall, the character’s renewed significance across mediums in Marvel stories proves thatno character is forgotten forever, and that any character, no matter how seemingly forgotten, can rise to prominence under the right circumstances.
Deadpool’s Negasonic Teenage Warhead Just Got a God-Tier Power Retcon
Best known for her explosive abilities in the film Deadpool, Negasonic Teenage Warhead is finally explaining what her actual powers are.
The reprinted collection of this exciting story emphasizes the increasingly central role Negasonic Teenage Warhead could play in the future of Marvel Comics.
Negasonic Teenage Warhead made her on-panel debut inNew X-Men#115 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely back in 2001. In her original appearances, Ellie “Ellie” Olivia Phimster appeared with a gothic aesthetic, sporting longer hair and pale skin. Her powers leaned more toward telepathy, thoughboth her powers and appearance would be drastically altered in the coming years to match how she’s portrayed inDeadpool. Marvel offers the following solicit for the upcomingNegasonic Teenage Warhead#1:
Ellie Phimister is under arrest! When the Time Variance Authority accuses Negasonic Teenage Warhead of a crime she has yet to commit, she’ll have to go on the run to stop herself before the TVA does. It all comes down to a single moment in time, a choice Future-Ellie must face… Which means Now-Ellie has one hour to find Yuki Ohara, her girlfriend from the future who she’s never met, kiss her and save the Multiverse. Good thing she has allies like—wait, no. Deadpool is NOT going to be helpful. Is anyone else available?!
Much like how herfriendship with Deadpoolhas become canonized in the comics to match their onscreen chemistry, theTime Variance Authority’s role in the comicsdeepens as a result of their own MCU appearances. The TVA have expanded their ranks with deeper connections tothe likes of Spider-Gwen, and now, Negasonic Teenage Warhead gets her own crack at the TVA, and time travel capers in general, as she races against time to stop a crime she has yet to even commit yet.
Getting a self-titled solo series is a major accolade for a character who the average Marvel fan may have either completely forgotten about, or never heard of, just a decade ago.
From Obscurity To Stardom
Getting a self-titled solo series is a major accolade for a character who the average Marvel fan may have either completely forgotten about, or never heard of, just a decade ago. It speaks to how large her cult popularity from the movies has grown for Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Her popularity is at a point to justify a solo series,and her digital comic was praised enough to justify a print adaptation. Ultimately, it shows that Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s stock in the Marvel Universe is steadily rising, and one day, she’ll be considered more to the massesthan justDeadpool’ssidekick.
