* AmbiguousEnding: The ending of ''Again.'' [[spoiler: Deadpool successfully kills all of the villains in his way and murders the Red Skull to avenge the heroes... only for the Red Skull's decapitated head to mock him, explaining that Deadpool's mind has been so fractured by this point that there's no way for him to distinguish reality from fantasy anymore. His RoaringRampageOfRevenge ''could'' have happened, or it could not have; there's no way for Deadpool to tell anymore.]]

* ContinuitySnarl: ''Again'' is supposedly [[spoiler: a StealthPrequel to ''Old Man Logan'', but the LastStand of several heroes is entirely different from what is shown in Old Man Logan's own series. For instance, Deadpool kills Thor (Jane Foster) by turning her into stone, when in OML Thor (Odinson) was killed by Magneto and Absorbing Man. Daredevil and Punisher died by She-Hulk's side in issue 8 of OML ongoing, but their death's at Deadpool's hands here are completely different. Issue 5 complicates matters further by killing almost all of the villains as well.]]

* TwilightOfTheSupers:
** ''ComicBook/DeadpoolKillsTheMarvelUniverse'': The first mini-series deals with Deadpool snapping after Psycho-Man performs a mind surgery on him, leading to the Merc with a Mouth to develop a more bloodthirsty personality that becomes the main one. Thus, in each issue, he starts killing the Marvel heroes and villains one by one (the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the X-Men, Spider-Man), even the Punisher. The heroes and villains' despair is too much they climb onto a Manhattan rooftop and start to kill each other, in some sort of [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled mutual suicide pact]].
** ''ComicBook/DeadpoolKillsTheMarvelUniverseAgain'': Red Skull and a cadre of intelligent supervillains (Maestro, Arnim Zola, Mad Thinkerer, et alli) brainwash Deadpool to kill the Marvel heroes (of the 2016/2017 status quo) one by one. Deadpool's inner narration paints each killing as some sort of comedic sitcom. Among his victims, the younger heroes like Power Pack, Moon Girl, Ms. Marvel and Miles Morales. When Deadpool discovers he's been used by the villains, he turns the tables on them and begins a ''second'' killing spree, this time on the villains. After he kills the Red Skull in his compound, Red Skull's decapitated head talks back at Wade, saying that the age of heroes is over, and Deadpool helped them do it.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* AssholeVictim: Some of Deadpool's victims in ''Deadpool: Killustrated'' such as Brom Bones and Dorian Gray fall under this category. Given how both Bones and Gray were pretty horrible people in their respective novels, [[spoiler: their deaths at Deadpool's hands]] pretty much come off as a case of LaserGuidedKarma.

As per Handling Spoilers - "No spoilers in the main body of the description, above the "Examples" line. Just don't do it."


In July of 2017, due to the original series having consistently high sales, the same creative team as the original reunited for ''Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again'', a five-issue miniseries where Deadpool is once again on a rampage. This time, it's [[spoiler: due to a group of villains brainwashing him, so he immediately goes into a deluded killing frenzy whenever he hears a particular activation phrase]].
