Here Are 5 Superheroes Better Than Deadpool

Deadpool has become extremely popular recently, but there are other great superheroes in the Marvel universe everyone should read about.

So, let me say right away that I am not telling you that these superheroes would beat Deadpool in a fight or that you should like them more (because I know you likely are only reading this because it has Deadpool in the title), rather just that I think they are most interesting and well-developed characters.

So, keep that in mind. Here we go:


1. Wiccan (William Kaplan) - William "Billy" Kaplan is a mutant child of Scarlet Witch and the Vision and he possesses the power to warp reality through his Chaos Magic. He first was introduced in the original Young Avengers title where he patterned himself after the Asgardian God and superhero, Thor. Wiccan has become very well versed in his spell-casting abilities and is debatably one of the most powerful sorcerers in the Marvel universe. Now Wiccan fights crime alongside with other heroes in a team called The New Avengers.


2. X-23 (Laura Kinney) - Laura was created as a female clone (or daughter, depending on who you ask) of Wolverine and possesses a similar healing factor and has similar claws (she has 2 in her hands and one in her foot). Aside from these mutant abilities, she also has had intensive training in martial arts while she lived in captivity as an assassin. After James "Logan" Howlett died, Laura took over as the All New Wolverine.


3. Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) - Carol Danvers' DNA was altered by an explosion, where an alien Kree hero (the original Captain Marvel) saved her and their DNA fused together. This caused Carol Danvers to gain superhuman strength, stamina, flight, physical durability, and energy absorption (as well as a few other, semi-unacknowledged abilities). Using these abilities, she began fighting crime under the name Ms. Marvel, and after Captain Marvel's death, she took over with his name.


4. Magik (Illyana Rasputin) - Sister of the well-known x-man, Colossus, Illyana has the mutant ability to teleport. She uses a dimension called Limbo as a midway point to enable her to teleport at great lengths; Magik was raised in Limbo and eventually became the Sorcerer Supreme of that dimension, due to her near-limitless sorceress abilities while there (however, on Earth, these sorcery powers were hindered).


5. Agent Venom (Flash Thompson) - Flash Thompson was a highschool bully who went into the military and lost his legs during his service. After the military, he is offered a militarized version of the venom symbiote (a dangerous gooey biotic mass) which would be able to make new usable legs for Flash from it's biomass. Flash began fighting crime using the powerful symbiote to his advantage. He currently is fighting with the Guardians of the Galaxy throughout the Marvel universe.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
