WHAT IF VENOM POSSESSED DEADPOOL? (2011)

Deadpool of Earth-615.9 (actually Earth-90211) is hired by Galactus to kill the Beyonder. But things don't play out the way the Devourer of Worlds was hoping. The story is initially set after the original SECRET WARS when the Beyonder had come to Earth and was exerting his own will over the population of the planet during SECRET WARS II.

This story arc appeared as a recurring back-up feature over four What If one-shots and was written by Rick Remender to parody crossover events and toxic fandom. It doesn't really make sense that the character is referred to as Venompool seeing as the symbiote attaches itself to Deadpool without ever finding Eddie Brock. And the designation for this reality is given as Earth-615.9, but has since been changed to Earth-90211, but try not to take that stuff to seriously...
Crossover: This storyline ran as a back-up feature over four one-shot issues.

What If: Iron Man - Demon in an Armor #1[2/2]
It's 1985 on Earth-615.9, and Galactus hires Deadpool to kill the Beyonder for merging a living MODOK face onto his arse, granting him a Retcon Expungifier to wipe the otherwise-omnipotent one out of existence. Instead, Deadpool becomes quite taken with the Beyonder and hangs out with the him at a club. Spider-Man attacks the Beyonder's limo, angered that the alien costume he ended up with on Battleworld is ruining his life. Singer Bobby Oceanic blasts Spider-Man, separating him from the costume which attaches itself to Deadpool complete with symbiotic jheri curl...

What If?: Wolverine - Father #1[2/2]
In 1993, the Beyonder abandons Deadpool after they spent years getting wasted in alleys with Tony Stark. Deadpool sells Stark to AIM and fails to gain membership in any superteams, blaming his symbiotic jheri curl which he expels in a bell tower. His work as bloodthirsty vigilante Venompool is overshadowed by the Beyonder's Secret Wars Extreme fighting tournaments. He's unaware that his sentient jheri curl is following him...
What If: The Amazing Spider-Man - Grim Hunt #1[2/2]
In 2001, Venompool, the Beyonder and the female Carnage Curl (the sentient jheri curl) go on Hairy Springer's show to address their love triangle now. The Beyonder rejected Venompool and is now hooked up with Carnage Curl who reveals she's pregnant. Galactus emerges as the baby's father, leading to a fight on stage between him and the Beyonder. Venompool is forgotten again as the fight leads to the Earth's destruction...

What If?: Dark Reign #1[2/2]
In the present, Venompool has finally made it and attends the premiere of the film that tells the story of how he destroyed Galactus and the Beyonder and restored the Earth. When he's outshone by the arrival of Thor, Venompool kills him and anyone else who threatens to steal attention away from him. Eventually, he uses the Retcon Expungifier to erase the entire universe rather than focus on making himself more compelling.
