Unleashing Dogpool: Unraveling the Comic Origins of Deadpool 3's Canine Companion

Dogpool, the beloved canine companion of Deadpool, is set to make his highly anticipated debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the upcoming film Deadpool 3. Prior to his appearance, let’s dive into how Dogpool became a beloved character in the Marvel Comics universe. With multiverse variants becoming a popular trend, Deadpool has been at the forefront, and it's possible that Dogpool will be the first to be brought to life on the big screen in the upcoming film.

Variations of Deadpool have been a significant aspect of his comics for years. Characters such as Gwenpool, Lady Deadpool, and Headpool have contributed to the franchise. However, one of the most endearing variants is Dogpool. This lovable, four-legged character is set to make his debut in the upcoming film Deadpool 3. Here's a brief history of how Dogpool came to be in the comics.

Dogpool comic book origins explained

Dogpool makes his debut in 2010’s Prelude to Deadpool Corps #3. The mini-series followed a host of Deadpool variants being recruited to form a multiversal superteam. 

On Earth-103173, the Mascara-X project experimented on a dog named Wilson. The experiment was a failure, leaving Wilson deformed with patchy fur and a perpetually rotting tail. Struggling to find acceptance or end his own life, Wilson found a new purpose as a circus performer, taking on the name Dogpool in the Marvel Comics universe.

After joining a circus and being accepted as a stunt dog called Deadpool, he faces a new threat when Mascara-X sends a genetically advanced Wolverine to stop him. The circus is nearly destroyed before Dogpool successfully outsmarts the Wolverine, causing it to fall into a vat of acid. Before Mascara-X can take further action, he is saved by the 616 Deadpool and taken to join the Deadpool Corps.

Who is Dogpool in Deadpool 3? 

We don’t currently know a lot about Dogpool, save that he will be making some kind of appearance in Deadpool 3. 

Check out the latest promo photos for Deadpool 3 shared by Ryan Reynolds featuring Dogpool. One photo shows them together, with Reynolds in full Wilson make-up, hinting at a face-to-face encounter.

Rumors suggest that Deadpool 3 will feature the Merc With a Mouth journeying through the multiverse to find the “prime” versions of heroes for a multiverse war, with Dogpool possibly being one of them.

Deadpool 3 is set to be released on July 26, 2024, making it the only MCU project for that year. Stay tuned to Dexerto for more updates on Deadpool and Dogpool.
