Deadpool is an action beat 'em up video game based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. The game was developed by High Moon Studios and published by Activision, and was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Former Deadpool comic writer Daniel Way created the game's plot, and Nolan North voiced the character. The game received mediocre reviews, with plot elements commonly praised and gameplay elements found lacking.

Deadpool is an action beat 'em up video game, with new combos becoming available to Deadpool as he progresses. The game frequently breaks the fourth wall, and Deadpool verbally interacts with the player based on their skill and progress^. Deadpool also demonstrates some exaggerated acts of violence, for example yelling "No guts, no gory!" when hanging from his entrails, or shouting "Oh, that's gonna leave a mark!" when dismembering an enemy.

Combat gameplay relies heavily on using Deadpool's characteristic arsenal of swords and guns, as well as giving players the option to equip more irregular weapons such as sledgehammers. By default, Deadpool is armed with both guns and swords, but he also has access to giant hammers, laser guns, and a range of other alternatives. Several attacks result in dismemberment or decapitations which result in body parts and bloodstains becoming strewn on the ground. A short range of teleportation moves are possible as well. Deadpool possesses an accelerated healing factor, and as he slowly falls apart while sustaining damage, players must avoid further damage in order to recover. The game also employs stealth attacks, in which close-up camera angles depict more severe damage against enemies.
