Daniel Way outlines 'Deadpool' plans

Writer Daniel Way has outlined his plans for Deadpool during the forthcoming 'Heroic Age'.

Recent arcs have seen Wade Wilson turn his back on the gun-for-hire business. According to the scribe, the former mercenary is to ply his trade as a hero in a three-part story titled 'Whatever a Spider Can'.

"'Whatever a Spider Can' is about Deadpool going to New York. After having his difficulties joining the X-Men, he decides that maybe being on a team isn't the way for him to go. Maybe he should try the lone wolf route and be like Spider-Man. He's not sure how Spider-Man does what he does, though," Way told CBR.

"He has an idea and wants to get right to it so he can be a better hero than Spider-Man. So, in Deadpool's mind the thing to do is go see Spider-Man and see if Spidey will teach him his moves."

Way also revealed that the plotline will feature the antagonists White Lightnin' and Hit-Monkey. It will kick off with Deadpool #19 on February 17 and run in to issue #22.

Deadpool's pursuit of heroism will continue into the 'Heroic Age' when issue #23 arrives in stores in May.
