You know, while Deadpool's 4th wall-breaking antics do get tiresome after a while, it's pretty funny to see him freaking out over some of the more 'experimental' methods of storytelling that show up in Hawkeye comics. Though if Deadpool is having such a problem dealing with this, he should probably consider himself lucky that he didn't get stuck in the sign language issue.
Oh, really? Then I guess he'll at least know what's going on. Though I imagine that the complete silence and the abundance of disembodied floating hands signing what everyone's trying to say might still freak him out a bit.
Think of his reaction to ending up in one of the old Byrne She-Hulk issues. Three-way arguments with the narrator and the realization that his breaking-the-fourth-wall schtick isn't original!
Fun Fact: If She-Hulk beats Deadpool in MvC3, her win quote is her telling Deadpool that she was breaking the 4th wall before it was cool, and that she did it in STYLE.
Speaking of fourth wall breaking. Has there been any marvel characters who is fourth wall breaking like Deadpool, She Hulk or Purple Man, who has then teamed up, so they could break the third wall too?.
I vaguely remember Loki telling Deadpool that he's his kid, inheriting his fourth wall breaking powers, but I couldn't give you the name of the story or even which book it was in. Probably Deadpool. It was kind of an old story, though.
Oh, hey, I vaguely remember that story. It was indeed in Deadpool's original ongoing, but doggone if I can remember whereabouts. I wanna say it was somehow connected to Deadpool being cursed to resemble Thom Cruz, but I can barely remember that story either, so.
The Blonde Phantom used to break the fourth wall in her 1940s adventures, which led to her becoming a supporting character in She-Hulk
I guess the Watcher technically does it (or did it) in the various iterations of What If, though that's really more of a framing device (as with DC's Phantom Stranger and the hosts of various horror anthology comics).
