An awful lot of hero-types have passed through the roster of Midnight Sons<\/a>, the original spelling of the super-team that’s now known as Midnight Suns, and which will soon be brought to the world of videogames as Marvel’s Midnight Suns<\/a>. Most of them are C-listers at best, like Iron Fist, Man-Thing, Morbius, Werewolf By Night, and Wong, but there are a few names that have been brought to popular acclaim by the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Wolverine, Doctor Strange, maybe Blade if you’re into that sort of thing. One name that is definitely not on the Midnight Sons list, however, is Deadpool.<\/p>\n

That may be changing at some point in the relatively near future. The Midnight Suns Twitter account has been ‘taken over’ by Deadpool, who has renamed the channel to #DeadpoolSuns and says he won’t relinquish control “until these nerds put me in their Midnight Suns game.” Naturally, there is also a very Deadpool-esque video.<\/p>\n

that’s right, POOL-heads! make your voices heard! I, the great Deadpool, must be in Midnight Suns! this LEGENDARY injustice will not stand! \u270a #DeadpoolSuns pic.twitter.com\/VAwSXrO0YTOctober 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s quite possible that Firaxis and 2K are simply leaning into the popularity of Deadpool as the launch of Marvel’s Midnight Suns grows nearer. But there is a chance that the merc with a mouth is in the game.<\/p>\n

YouTuber TonyBingGaming<\/a> saw a hint at Deadpool back in July in the form of Bob Dobalina, aka Hydra Bob<\/a>, who joined Hydra because he thought it had a good dental plan (he confused it with AIM) and ultimately became Deadpool’s friend and sidekick. Bob also appeared in the first Deadpool film<\/a>, although as one of Ajax’s hired guns rather than a member of Hydra.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Hydra Bob is an enemy character in Midnight Suns, and he’s such a niche character\u2014and so closely associated with Deadpool\u2014that it would be kind of odd to have one without the other.<\/p>\n

This is a bit more of a stretch\u2014and, much like the Deadpool tweet itself, might just be 2K having some fun with the fans\u2014but Deadpool’s crack about Moon Knight could be meaningful too. A reference to Khonshu<\/a>, the Egyptian god of the moon, can be seen in a Midnight Suns teaser, leading some fans to suspect that Moon Knight may also be added to the game at some point.<\/p>\n

2K Games has not commented on the video, but it did retweet<\/a> it, asking, “How did Deadpool get in here?”<\/p>\n

It wouldn’t be too difficult to squeeze one or two (or more) additional heroes into the game\u2014the confirmed roster of Marvel’s Midnight Suns is already pretty beefy, after all:<\/p>\n

Captain AmericaBladeMagikIron ManWolverine (voiced, as always, by Steve Blum)Doctor StrangeCaptain MarvelNico MinoruGhost Rider (the Robbie Reyes incarnation\u2014he has a car)Spider-ManScarlet Witch<\/p>\n

It also seems awfully unlikely to me that 2K would use a very high-profile character like Deadpool to promote Midnight Suns with a faux-demand for inclusion if it wasn’t actually going to use the character in the game\u2014that’s just a fast way to annoy people who’d like to see him in it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
