The new retelling in 2015 of Secret Wars brings Deadpool into the original Marvel crossover. Like Magneto, he's sorted into the heroic side to his surprise, despite his more murderous inclinations. He fights alongside the superheroes in the ensuing battles and despite his antics, Deadpool does a lot to help his fellow heroes. At one point, he even directly saves Captain America from a surprise attack by Kang.
While he's inside the heroes new base, Wade ends up bonding with the Venom symbiote before Spider-Man ever gets the chance to. His own madness ends up influencing the symbiote after it tries to meld with him. This could be held up as the reason the symbiote became such an unstable villain. When the heroes are given the chance to wish for anything, Wade's involvement in Secret Wars is forcibly forgotten by everyone except Deadpool.
However, the effect was too strong and erased the memory from all the other heroes as well. Clearly Shooter and Beatty approve of Deadpool's involvement?Writer Cullen Bunn & X-men senior editor Jordan B. White both consider this to be CANON! Giving credibility and inclusivity to Deadpool's involvement in Secret Wars.
