In the extensive Marvel Universe, Deadpool has long been considered a figure intertwined with the X-Men franchise. However, he has never been a mutant—until now. As part of Marvel’s ambitious Age of Revelation crossover, a three-month event that propels the narrative ten years into the future, Deadpool will finally realize his aspiration to become a mutant. The twist? This transformation comes with the consequences of becoming an undead zombie, driven by an insatiable hunger for the flesh of other mutants.
In anticipation of its release on October 29, 2025, IGN has provided an exclusive first look at Undeadpool #1. Dive into the preview gallery below:
