Deadpool's Future Form Finally Gives Him the Costume He's Always Wanted
Wade Wilson's Deadpool is one of the most recognizable characters in modern pop culture. His fourth-wall breaking humor, over-the-top violence, and general disregard for his — or anyone else's — safety have made him a favorite among fans. Yet Deadpool himself has always longed for a different look — one that his future self actually manages to acquire.
Deadpool is a mercenary antihero who is often unnecessarily violent and morally debased, yet hides a secret heart of gold and dreams of heroism. In fact — in Deadpool #SecretComic - it's revealed that Wade Wilson secretly dreams of being an armored hero like Iron Man. In the comic by Gerry Duggan and Scott Koblish, Deadpool and a sentient barcode named UPC-PO travel across time and space. In order to dislodge a magical gem out of his own digestive system, Wade becomes an astral projection with the help of the sorceress Clea. The projection appears as Deadpool's most "ideal physical self," and through it fans are treated to a blonde, mustachioed Wade bearing a resemblance to Tony Stark and dressed in an armored robot suit. This could be played off as just for laughs, but then in Cable/Deadpool Annual #1, readers are introduced to «Futurepool.»

The suit has gray plating around the knees, neck, and arms, and is adorned with a large amount of additional armaments.
