I was just musing on the similarities between their code names. I'm quite aware of the term "dead pool", Wade's backstory and how it relates to his code name. I wasn't trying to imply that the code names were done on purpose, and my apologies if anyone misunderstood. But the Wade/Slade part was done deliberately by Nicieza and has been confirmed by the writer.

Liefeld, naturally, denies ripping off DC. He also thinks he's a good artist. *shrug*
