This is to say that the Deadpool film took what was important to the character and cut him down to his core elements, and as a result, there are 15 main differences between the Deadpool film and the comics it came form. Deadpool is an interesting character with a lot of comic book history so much so that it would be impossible to show every beloved element/aspect of his character history without the film being oversaturated and weighed down by random bits of lore and humor.

That said, there were a few changes made from the comics that fans were a bit disappointed by. These changes helped both to streamline the story of the film and give a much more interesting, much more likeable version of the character. Broad strokes were taken from Deadpool's origins, with some major and minor changes made along the way. Part of that success came from the self-aware, deconstructive, subversive nature of the film, but it also had a lot to do with how the film adapted the comics.

With Deadpool 2 on the way, we thought it would be interesting to take a look back at the first film, which defied all odds in being one of the most successful, most well-received superhero movies of all time.
