WARNING: Contains Potential Spoilers for Deadpool / Wolverine #2!

Deadpool if he’s straight, finally putting Wade Wilson’s canon sexuality to rest. But in true Deadpool fashion, his answer delivers way more information than anyone asked for—raising even more questions about his tastes. Still, one thing’s for sure: the debate over the Merc with a Mouth’s sexuality is officially over.

Wolverine yells out mid-battle, “Wade!? Are you straight?”

Deadpool’s sexuality is often described by fans as pansexual or omnisexual, with several of his writers confirming that Wade is “not straight." However, his sexuality has long been a hot topic of debate, as it’s rarely stated outright in the comics.

The discussion grew even murkier with Ryan Reynolds’ live-action portrayal, sparking questions about whether the films carried over Wade’s comic book sexuality. But now, Marvel has finally settled the sexuality debate, with fans getting an answer straight from Deadpool himself in Deadpool / Wolverine #2 (2025) by Benjamin Percy, Joshua Cassara, and Guru-eFX.

“My Turn-Ons Include Anything With Skin.”: Deadpool Settles His Canon Sexuality

Comic s Come From Benjamin Percy’s Deadpool / Wolverine #2 (2025)

Deadpool / Wolverine #2 follows Logan and Wade on their mission to save the present, but things quickly go off the rails when Deadpool falls under the control of Earth-4935’s Stryfe—a supervillain mutant who is Cable from an alternate future timeline—turning him into Wolverine’s latest foe. As Logan struggles to snap Deadpool out of his mind control, he’s also fighting for his life against monstrous, dinosaur-like creatures. Fortunately, in the heat of battle, Wade manages to break free, regaining control of his mind and body. Wanting to make sure Deadpool is truly back to himself, Wolverine yells out mid-battle, “Wade!? Are you straight?”

Given the chaos of the moment, it’s clear to the reader that Logan is asking if Wade is back in his right mind. However, Deadpool takes the question literally, interpreting it as a query about his sexuality. His response? “My turn-ons include anything with skin. Also fruits. Sea anemones. And the Washington Monument.” If there was ever any doubt, this confirms that Deadpool is anything but straight. While the exact label of his sexuality remains a little fuzzy, his wildly diverse tastes—specifically his attraction to fruit and sea anemones—lean heavily into classic Deadpool territory, teetering on the edge of too much information.

Deadpool Doesn’t Give Himself Label (& It’s Honestly for the Best)

Deadpool never explicitly labels his sexuality in this comic, but one thing is certain—he’s not straight. Since no single sexuality covers attraction to anything with skin, fruit, sea anemones, and the Washington Monument, there isn’t even a solid label fans can assign to the Merc with a Mouth. In fact, the best and perhaps most accurate way to describe Wade’s sexuality might be as fluid and ever-evolving. This approach fits Deadpool's character perfectly, aligning seamlessly with his chaotic, unpredictable nature that always keeps people guessing.
