Deadpool’s tendency to break the fourth wall became more overt in DEADPOOL (1997) #28, as he recalled the specific issue where he last encountered Bullseye. from the pages of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #47, where he called out the more puzzling elements of the story. In DEADPOOL (1997) #11, Wade Wilson was transported into a Spider-Man adventure by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr. Over time, Deadpool grew into a significantly more comedic character, but it wasn’t until Joe Kelly and Pete Woods’ acclaimed DEADPOOL (1997) run that the Merc with a Mouth began breaking the fourth wall. Created by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld in NEW MUTANTS (1983) #98 as a formidable adversary for the super hero team, Deadpool has since gone on to become something of a super hero himself, albeit one operating with a morally ambiguous code of honor. Of all the Marvel characters to break the fourth wall, Deadpool is perhaps the one who takes advantage of its creative possibilities the most. Though Jen hasn’t shattered the fourth wall with the same amount of regularity as she has in the past, it still is an important part of her comic book history. Dan Slott and Juan Bobillo’s SHE-HULK (2004) returned to her fourth wall-breaking comical roots, as Jen delivered screwball comedy while trying to keep her personal life afloat. While She-Hulk’s appearances in other titles leave the fourth wall intact, she occasionally takes on the self-aware sensibilities that made Byrne’s run so memorable. This sardonic sense of humor was present within the book itself, as She-Hulk directly addressed the creative team while she balanced her life as a super hero and an attorney at law. This was apparent right from the cover of the debut issue, where Jennifer Walters threatened to destroy readers’ X-MEN comics if they didn’t check out her new series. After she was created By Stan Lee and John Buscema in THE SAVAGE SHE-HULK (1980) #1, John Byrne took the character in a much more humorous direction with THE SENSATIONAL SHE-HULK (1989). She-Hulk is the first major Marvel super hero to overtly and consistently break the fourth wall.
