Wade Wilson and Logan are finally part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is swallowing up more and more superheroes, as well as the multiversal monster, Alioth.
Additionally, along with Deadpool and Wolverine, the MCU has welcomed a host of other superheroes. Some may have only been seen in the pages of comics so far, but some have appeared in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men films.

Some variations are more important to the plot, while others are just cameos that will make you miss every single detail. We’ve picked out the most exciting cameos and broken them down for you.

Played by Tyler Mane
Born as Victor Creed, this vicious and psychopathic mutant is considered Wolverine’s archenemy. He is animalistic, characterized by razor-sharp claws, healing abilities, heightened senses, and exceptional strength.
Sabretooth was created by writer Chris Claremont and artist John Byrne. Claremont had intended Creed to be Wolverine’s father; however, other writers have departed from this idea, portraying the mutant as another participant in the Weapon X program.
In X-Men (2000), Sabretooth, played by Tyler Mane, was a member of Magneto’s Brotherhood of Mutants. However, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), he was played by Liev Schreiber and appeared to be Logan’s half-brother and co-soldier. The creators of Deadpool and Wolverine decided to bring back the first version of the villain.

Known as Wanda Wilson, she is a female version of Deadpool from Earth-3010. She possesses the regenerative healing factor, superhuman reflexes, resilience, speed, and agility. At one point, she teamed up with Wade Wilson of Earth-616 and other variants of herself. Together, they created a multiversal squad called the Deadpool Corps.
In Deadpool and Wolverine, she only makes a brief appearance and does not wear her mask, but it is well known that she is played by Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds’ wife.

Played by Peggy la Pugese
In the comics, a dog named Wilson was the victim of experiments conducted by two scientists in the Earth-103173 reality. His body, abandoned in a dumpster, was found by members of a local circus. It turned out that the experiments did not kill the dog but gave him extraordinary powers, including the ability to heal himself.
As Deadpool the Daredevil Dog, Wilson performed deadly stunts for circus audiences. Found by Wade Wilson on Earth-616, the dog became a member of the Deadpool Corps.
In Deadpool and Wolverine, Dogpool is a friendly dog who steals Wade Wilson’s heart. It is unknown if she actually has superpowers.

In the comics, this mysterious version of Wade Wilson resided on Earth-1108 in a Wild West-like reality, and his nickname was a reference to the real-life gunslinger, the infamous Billy the Kid.
Little is known about this variant of Deadpool, other than that he is wanted for several crimes, including bank robbery, arson, and software piracy. Deadpool Kid (not to be confused with another Marvel character, Kidpool) wears a black hat and carries a revolver and wears boots with spurs.
Nice swimming pool
Played by Ryan Reynolds
This long-haired, always-smiling, and downright adorable variant of Deadpool doesn’t appear in the comics. However, this version of the antihero is pretty hilarious, even if he lacks the regenerative healing factor. Nicepool appears to be a Deadpool who found and took care of Dogpool.

In the comics, a child version of Deadpool lived in the Xavier Orphanage for Troubled Boys on Earth-10330, but never fit in. After little Wade escaped from the institution, he was recruited by Deadpool of Earth-616 and joined the Deadpool Corps.
Despite being just a child, Kidpool is a master of hand-to-hand combat and lightsaber wielding. He’s just as sassy and cheeky as his adult counterpart, so it’s a shame he didn’t stick around longer in Deadpool and Wolverine.
