Best Team Partners
Community suggestions for team synergy. Ms. Marvel and Carnage pair well with Deadpool in the recorded launch notes.
Start a team with Deadpool →Where They Fit on Your Team
Deadpool is the team's wildcard: his self-damaging tools create openings no other character can, at a real cost. He wants teammates who punish opponents for chasing those openings, like Ms. Marvel's grab pressure. He is a style pick, not a structure pick.
Pick or Skip
Pick Deadpool if you love unique mechanics and accept the self-damage trade-off. Skip him if you want a stable team plan — his game is inherently risky.
How to Play
Deadpool is the most unique character in the roster, and the unique mechanics come with a price: some of his tools hurt him. Learn the trade-offs in training before taking him online, and be ready for opponents to exploit the openings his own moves create.

Secret Commands — Verified
Cross-checked against keengamer, thegamer and thegameslayer on Aug 9, 2026. One counting note: PowerPyx's trophy guide counts five hidden commands (two taunts and three Fever Dream variants), while some community lists show six by including the base Fever Dream. We list all six inputs without changing that count — the trophy only needs the five hidden ones.
| Command | Input | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sexy Centrefold | ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ | Tap down five times in a row. This is also a taunt in the Command List. |
| Healing Agura | ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ + Circle + R1 | Press Circle and R1 together on the fifth down input. |
| Fever Dream | ↓↘→ + Triangle + Circle | A 50 meter Super. |
| Fever Dream: Ranbu | ↓↘→ + Circle, then → + Square | Follow-up variant after the base Fever Dream. |
| Fever Dream: Phoenix | ↓↙←↙→ + Triangle + Circle | On the mirrored side, use ↓↘→↘← + Triangle + Circle. |
| Fever Dream: Raging | Square, Square, then → + Triangle + Circle | Chain-ending heavy variant. |
Directions use the standard notation: ↓ is down, ↘ is down-forward, → is forward, ↙ is down-back. The trophies page lists the same five hidden commands under "Deadpool Saves the Tōkon Universe."
