The Truth Revealed: Deadpool and Spider-Man Actually Have a Daughter

In the world of Marvel Comics, one of the most amusing ongoing jokes involves Deadpool‘s infatuation with Spider-Man. Wade Wilson’s relentless advances create an atmosphere of comedic discomfort for Peter Parker, as Deadpool is determined to keep the jest alive. Recently, this dynamic has evolved; it’s no longer merely unreciprocated affection—now, they share the experience of co-parenting. Yes, you read that correctly: Deadpool and Spider-Man have a daughter together.

This surprising revelation occurs in Spider-Man/Deadpool #9, crafted by the talented duo of Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness. The issue showcases the two heroes as allies in the fight against the villainous Hateful Hexad. After Spider-Man successfully persuades Deadpool to abandon his lethal ways, they join forces against this ragtag group of adversaries. Just as they are about to claim victory, a new player enters the fray: Itsy Bitsy.

As Itsy Bitsy takes to the battlefield, she dispatches members of the Hateful Hexad with an eerie rendition of “The Itsy Bitsy Spider.”Both Deadpool and Spider-Man are stunned when she refers to them as “daddy”—a nod to her peculiar lineage, which soon unravels in the narrative.

While the notion of Spider-Man and Deadpool having a daughter evokes laughter, the underlying reality is far more somber. Itsy Bitsy, who underwent a grotesque transformation when vulnerable and unable to give informed consent, longs for acceptance from her fathers. Unfortunately, her attempts at connection, albeit expressively violent, lead to their outright rejection.

Rather than embracing her, both Deadpool and Spider-Man actively sought to end her life, eventually vaporizing her under the belief that she posed too significant a threat. Although Itsy Bitsy managed to survive in the form of a diminutive spider, her story remains tragic. She was cast aside by the very individuals who should have been her protectors, creating a narrative that strays far from comedy.

Other Familial Ties: Itsy Bitsy Isn’t Their Sole Shared Offspring

In an intriguing twist, Itsy Bitsy is not the only shared child of Spider-Man and Deadpool; another familial connection exists through Deadpool’s symbiote daughter, Princess. This character is the offspring of Deadpool and Carnage, the latter being the offspring of Venom, whose first human host was Spider-Man. Consequently, Spider-Man serves as an unwilling “grandfather”to Princess, further convoluting the web of their shared legacies.

While the connection through Princess is fascinating, the more poignant tale remains that of Itsy Bitsy. Despite the convoluted means of her creation, the harrowing reality of her rejection at the hands of both Deadpool and Spider-Man underlines a captivating tragedy within the superhero narrative.
