Did Deadpool Copy Deathstroke?
Both characters stand on their own merit and are beloved by readers - but to say Deadpool wasn't created with at least Deathstroke in mind doesn't really add up. Even Deadpool realizes that some fans see him as a parody of Deathstroke. Thankfully, he's forged his own path since his debut.

Is Wade Wilson based on Slade Wilson?

Deathstroke's real name is Slade Wilson. So they named Deadpool "Wade Wilson."

Who came out first Deadpool or Slade?

Ten years before Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld created Deadpool (aka Wade Wilson) at Marvel Comics, DC Comics had created Deathstroke (aka Slade Wilson).
