The Merc with a Mouth has arrived! NetEase Games gave fans the first official look at the Deadpool Marvel Rivals Design in the reveal trailer for Season 6, confirming the highly anticipated hero will launch on January 16, 2026. The design marks a deliberate shift away from the film aesthetic, embracing a bolder, more comic-accurate look that has instantly sparked viral discussion among the fanbase.
Deadpool’s model is notably different from the usual tight bodysuit, primarily featuring a distinct red tactical crop top jacket over his suit, and a slightly bulkier build. The most eye-catching element is his mask, which is heavily exaggerated with a long, pointed tail, reminiscent of a jester’s hat or even Majin Buu. This stylistic choice successfully gives Deadpool a unique, highly recognizable silhouette, a common goal in hero shooter character design.
The reveal trailer showcased the anti-hero wielding his iconic dual pistols and katanas, strongly suggesting his combat role will be that of a Duelist (DPS). His arrival will kick off Season 6: Night at the Museum, where the storyline sees The Collector hire Deadpool to stop Gambit and Rogue, only for the Merc to cause an intergalactic disaster by opening all the Museum’s cages.
By leaning into his chaotic, cartoonish comic origins, the Deadpool Marvel Rivals Design perfectly captures the character’s over-the-top personality. The new look, complete with stitched details and a playful stance (including a nod to the “Sailor Moon pose”), ensures the Merc will be impossible to ignore when he makes his grand entrance in the game next month.
