Is Venon the BIONICLE Version of Deadpool?


Recommended Posts

I happen to notice a few similarities between the two characters (insanity, being extremely funny, etc.) So I'm wondering, is Vezon Greg F's attempt at doing Deadpool?

I've seen people say this about Vezon, and while I can't say for sure if Deadpool was exactly who he was going for (as I don't really read many comics), I can definitely say he was trying to make Vezon a zany, "random" character and ended up making him completely insufferable (which was only compounded by the fact he made up almost 50% of the serials).

Why do you think he's insufferable?

Well, I don't know who this Venon character is, but one BZPower member was said, in reference to Vezon, "He's Deadpool, 100% Deadpool."

 

So yes, the comparison between the two characters has been noted many times before, but I don't think that Greg intentional meant for Vezon to be a BIONICLE Deadpool. But, I suppose anything's possible.

Greg's a self-confessed Marvel fanboy, hence the superpowers and alternate universes, so it's not unreasonable to think Vezon is his "tip of the hat" to Deadpool.

From the little I know about Deadpool, and the decent amount I know about Vezon, I would say Vezon is definitely Deadpool, only without the healing factor and unlimited guns and ammo.

By the way Dorkpool, I love your signature!

While Vezon does ramble on, it's only because he's insane. Deadpool uses his chitchat to distract enemies (and himself) and is generally really witty. And as mentioned above, Deadpool repeatedly breaks the fourth wall and is utterly aware that he doesn't exist.

Vezon's lack of healing factor is made up for by his ridiculous plot armor.

I think Vezon is like Deadpool, Joker, and Gollum, too, but also the Ice King from Adventure Time TV series and Starscream from Transformers: Prime TV series, being evil and funny by saying and doing silly and comical things, like accidents.:)

I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory!:)

I don't think there's really much similarity between the two characters. As was mentioned earlier, Deadpool is a lot more of a fourth wall breaker, aware of his own nature and actually very clever. Vezon has much less of a grasp on reality, and I think an obvious difference that's overlooked is that Vezon is a villain and very malicious, where as Deadpool is not. He's sometimes a pretty sympathetic character, too. The comparison to Gollum that some have suggested is more accurate in my opinion.
