So, it’s 35 years now since I wrote and illustrated Deadpool’s debut. If you were there and contributed to buying one of the 750,000 copies, you remember how he took you by storm! Thank you for loving him & demanding he be a regular featured character in X-Force!

I’m going to give you an alternative to the sad and whiny voices who claim they missed out on participation - I didn’t. I knew exactly the deals that were available in 1990 and I took advantage of those opportunities. Yes, Marvel has paid me millions of dollars in Deadpool royalties over these 35 years. I recognized what was available given my status as a creator with tremendous favor and coupled that to Marvel’s platform. It’s has made us both very wealthy. American Dream, baby!

Inside *X-Men #3*, the team tries to recruit Blob—only to be rebuffed. 🧱

His immovable stance and raw strength quickly turn him into an adversary, foreshadowing his role in Magneto’s Brotherhood.
