Character Close Up

Gwenpool

From comic book reader...to comic book hero! Meet Gwen Poole, a girl ripped from the “real world” and thrown headfirst into the Marvel Universe! She doesn’t wear pants! She knows all the tropes! And if you think she’s just some “variant cover knock-off”, read this list and think again!

Punchy in Pink

“Ms. Poole if You’re Nasty”

in Howard the Duck (2015) #1

Ripped from a variant cover for Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars #2 she is…Gwenpool! The possibly “pantless Arctic ninja” completely derails a burglary by Black Cat in her first appearance, also squashing some ducks in the process. Not great!

Gwenpool’s Holiday Party

in Gwenpool Special (2015) #1

She insisted on title billing, but really, Gwenpool is one of many to star in this Yuletide anthology. OF COURSE our favorite story is Gwen’s samurai sword-wielding battle against Orto, snake-human hybrid.

Marvel’s Least Role-Modely

in The Unbelievable Gwenpool (2016) #1

The internet sensation takes center stage in her own series! Gwen Poole wakes up in a world where the characters she reads about in comics seem to be real! But they can’t be, right? This must be a dream or something, right? And you know what that means...NO CONSEQUENCES!

Civil War II

in Rocket Raccoon & Groot (2016) #8

Gwenpool contributes her own mess to Civil War II, this time threatening the partnership between Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket and Groot! All after intro’ing herself while on a motorcycle!

Gwenpool Saves X-Mas

in Gwenpool Holiday Special: Merry Mix-Up (2016) #1

It’s the holidays yet again, and that means it’s time to join EVERYONE’S FAVORITE GWEN (take that, Stacy!) and celebrate good times! Only problem is…somehow this year’s festive traditions seem to be a little…off…and Gwen’s the only one who notices. Guest-starring Spider-Man, Red Skull, and even Punisher!

Cheap Imitation Kills the Marvel Universe Again

in Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again (2017) #3

Gwenpool-rip-off Deadpool is at it again, and this time he may stamp out the Marvel Universe permanently (in the comic book sense)! Good thing Gwenpool’s acting as intel agent for Moon Knight – but she’s still likely to die!
