Pikachu Officially Exists in the Marvel Universe, & Deadpool Proves it
InDeadpool#30 by Gerry Duggan and Mike Hawthorne , Deadpool has postulate to outer space in hunting of a weapon strong enough to kill his wicked opposition , Madcap . After stop by an alien warzone and then pay a sojourn to the Nova Corp , Deadpool ends up on Knowhere , where he is quest after by a number of warriors and bounty hunters trying to obliterate him . They trust he ’s in possession ofthe Ultimate Nullifier , but Deadpool only pretended to have this great arm to get out of the Nova Corp unhurt . Regardless , it was enough to get the care of the with child hitters in the cosmos , including someone who worked directly for the Collector . The Collector wanted the Ultimate Nullifier for himself , but when he learned Deadpool did n’t have it , he became just as interested in collecting Deadpool ’s enemy , Madcap .

Seeing this as a win - win , Deadpool fit in and gets teleported back to Earth , but not before he receive someone else : Pikachu .
As Deadpool walks through the large containment way of the Collector ’s vast collection , he stands before a beast that looks identical to Pikachu – so much so that it has to be the iconic Pokémon . The life sentence anatomy that is seemingly Pikachu ( who is settle in the bottom - left mitt quoin of the Sir Frederick Handley Page ) has exactly the same soundbox character , ears , and even face of a Pikachu being held in captivity – which is not a pleasant one , as any Pokémon fan can attest . While it may have been a stretchiness to consider that this is Pikachu if he were surrounded by nothing but established Marvel characters , that was n’t the case . The room was full of pop - culture icons and characters outside of Marvel persistence , include the the like of ET and even Slenderman .
