Venom / Deadpool: What If? #1

In a wild alternate Earth where Galactus has a M.O.D.O.K. for a butt, Deadpool is hired to take down the Beyonder—only to get distracted by cosmic hair, booze, and a party he can’t resist. When Spider-Man crashes the scene in his symbiote suit, things go even more off the rails as the alien armor hijacks Deadpool’s new look, turning Venompool into something far more dangerous.

In a world where heroes are as fleeting as trends, Venompool—once a pair of mismatched legends—finds himself abandoned by the ever-distant Beyonder. With a new mission to reclaim relevance, he makes a bold, questionable move: selling Tony Stark to AIM, ditching the Beyonder’s absurd hairdo, and trying to become a hero on his own terms. But fame isn’t as easy as punching bad guys, and even the most chaotic path to glory hits a wall—until Nick Fury drops a single, undeniable truth: the only way to be truly legendary is to join the Secret Wars.

In a wildly bizarre twist on the usual superhero fare, Venompool and Carnage Curl find themselves on The Watcher’s talk show, where the tension between them spirals into chaos—especially after Hairy Spranger drops the bombshell that Carnage Curl is pregnant. With Galactus suddenly at the center of the scandal, the room erupts in shock, leaving the fate of the baby—and the future of this twisted trio—hanging in the air.

In "Chapter Four" of *Venom / Deadpool: What If? #1*, Venompool—already the most celebrated hero in the world—can't stand the thought of anyone else getting the spotlight. With a godlike ego and a penchant for chaos, he eliminates every other hero who dares to share the fame, only to find that ultimate power still leaves him empty. Now, with the entire Marvel Universe 615.9 at his mercy, he faces the ultimate question: what’s next when there’s nothing left to conquer?
