Who is Lady Deadpool, and what are her powers?
Lady Deadpool is the female variant of Deadpool, coming from a different universe (Earth 3010). Her real name is Wanda Wilson. She was probably the leader of the Deadpool Corps or the co-leader of 616-Deadpool. In the final battle with the Evil Deadpool Corps, Wanda was killed when she deliberately crashed her car on Galactipool’s head, leaving 616-Deadpool to be the leader of the rest of the team.
As per Marvel, her character is “motivated by money, television, junk food, and sometimes love.” Her journey revolves around battles against evil Deadpool variants, cosmic entities, and more. She has almost all the powers of her male counterparts, including human strength, speed, agility, unarmed combat skills, and using blade weapons.
Lady Deadpool also has quick healing powers, which make her immortal as well as immune to dangerous poisons, drugs, and diseases. She apparently had scars, which were later removed.

It is clear that Lady Deadpool is going to debut in Deadpool & Wolverine.
When the director Shawn Levy was asked who had been selected to play the character, he told Entertainment Weekly, "We didn't want any of the cameos or characters to be the story of the movie. The internet is a delight of rumors about the multitude of character cameos that are in this movie.”
However, the glimpse of the blonde character stirred up the internet with numerous rumors and speculations. A lot of people have been saying that it’s Blake Lively, Ryan’s wife, who is playing Lady Deadpool in the movie. Nothing has been confirmed yet.
