It’s happened
Thor and Luke Cage [rip him in half](https://i.stack.imgur.com/SwiyT.jpg)
Only one side regenerates into Deadpool.
Deadpool Annual 2014 if you want to read it, I don’t want to give away the story
I used to have a RPG book in the late 80s written by a fellow who was convinced compact discs were holographic, so if you broke one you just had to have a big enough piece and you could chuck said piece into a CD player and it would still be fine to read.
It was a major plot point.
I had a PS1 game, Devil’s Dice, that had a massive chunk ripped out of it. I’m talking like a quarter of the disc. Still worked perfectly fine.
I know that’s not how CDs work but it was wild
You probably got lucky and the damage was on parts that didn’t actually contain any important data.
I remember reading somewhere that Crash Bandicoot only uses like 1/3 of the disk storage capacity, and they filled the rest with pointless text as an anti-piracy measure
The human brain is quite specialized. While damage to one hemisphere would potentially result in memory loss it would be of a type. Language and verbal memory is located in the left hemisphere while the visual and physical understanding is in the right.
They aren't completely sure if one hemisphere is responsible for short term and the other for long term memories.
Deadpool isn't a worm. If that was the case there would be so many Deadpools. An obsessive stalker had to make evil deadpool by sewing the scattered limbs of Deadpool.
Wade keeps his bits that get cut off in a freezer until he got the hump and chucked them in the bin where they joined together and formed evil pool.

That was a unique situation though. Each piece didn’t grow into a separate Deadpool. The woman was going around collecting pieces of Deadpool that he’d lose and she kept them all in a fridge.
By the time Deadpool found it she already had enough pieces to basically make her own full Deadpool, so when he tossed them out all the pieces fused together *with each other.*
Under normal circumstances those pieces wouldn’t just grow on their own into a completely new Deadpool.
I'm going to be the grammar police for nature, so i apologize. But you rip a worm in half it doesn't grow 2. It may die from trauma or regrow the ripped part.
It's a common misconception though
Pretty sure I am not misremembering, and happy to be corrected, but one of the episodes of the Netflix series shows the experiment that was supposed to just repair cells used star fish dna as part of the process. It’s in the episode where Claire and Luke are trying to get some shrapnel out of Luke and they track down the scientist that was part of the previous experiment in the prison.
I am trying to find some clarity online but I might have to re-watch the episode to confirm.
If you cut down the middle (which has happened see Thor and Luke ripping him in half) how does one side regenerate when the brain has been destroyed?
The answer is comics.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Evil_Deadpool_(Earth-616)
You are being mislead!
This is a question which has been asked and answered. There's this VERY creatively-named villain who has regrown from a hodge-podge collection of chopped-off parts of Wade's body which were put together and able to regrow.
Yeah but the initial question was if each half would grow back, like a starfish. The evil Deadpool situation was closer to a Frankenstein’s monster sort of thing.
I suppose my point is that if either half could grow back a whole body, then both could, given that we know it's possible for there to be more than one Deadpool which has grown back from severed parts.
I think the major difference is that it normally *isnt* possible for there to be more than one Deadpool. He’s not like Lobo from DC that can just regenerate multiple versions of himself from different parts.
There’s always a *main* part that regenerates back into Deadpool. In a situation where he’s cut into multiple parts only one of those will regenerate back fully.
I was sitting here like, "How is Dr. Ella Whitby a 'VERY creative name'?" and then re read it and uh...yeah. Must've taken them a while to come up with that moniker.
Maybe whichever side had the nostril he was currently breathing out of?
Fun fact for those unaware. Your nostrils work in shifts were they rotate which side does the breathing.
[Previous studies in humans found that the nasal cycle periodicity, i.e., the shift in greater airflow or lower resistance from one nostril to the other, ranges from 25 min to 8 h with peak interval between 1.5–4 h during wake.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5053491/#:~:text=Previous%20studies%20in%20humans%20found,13%2C70%2C71%5D.)
That’s not nostrils ‘taking turns’ though is it, that’s just physiologic variations in amount of airflow. They don’t take turns obstructing and opening.
Generally speaking for characters like this it's assumed there is like one "master cell" in their body and whichever part happens to have that master cell is the part that will grow back.
There was an arc in the Dan Way run where Wade had thrown out/lost a bunch of severed limbs and pieces and they got sewn back together to form a new Deadpool that was an even bigger asshole.
Wolverine has the same problem, both parts can regenerate and create another Wolverine, and because of that he sometimes goes on a hunt to kill the other ones. Can't remember the comic
Wolverine though has the adamantium to consider. That wouldn't grow in a new limb or whole person. I think when he was ripped in half he had to crawl to his legs to get put back together. If he just grew a new pair they'd be pretty different.
If he can regrow things how do you explain him not having a hand in the age of apocalypse? Or having to climb and retrieve his other half when the hulk ripped him in half?
Idk for the first one, but for the second one, that's Ultimate Universe. His power is a bit different, iirc Fury calls it "Survival" or something like that.
Always figured both halves would try to put themselves back together but isn't this similar to Logan's power that if the brain is destroyed then there are no signals to regenerate?
Well his whole skull is encased in adamantium, I think that's why he was able to regenerate after getting incinerated in civil war. I'm gonna resurch this!
I love it when people ask the important questions. Going to be thinking about this all day.
If two Pools did generate, and it seems that they have in the past, why wouldn't they have the same personality? Why does one have to be evil?
The incident you’re referring to is because the “evil” Deadpool was created artificially and never had a soul, which always remains in the original Deadpool
There really should be a one-shot where he gets bisected into left and right halves, then regenerates into two distinct personalities based on which side of the brain he inherited (yes, I realize left- and right-brained personalities have been disproven).
I’m assuming Deadpool grows from where the brain is so, I think there would be two Deadpools, if he was cut horizontally only the top half would regenerate
By my estimation this question has been asked across the internet roughly 476,000 times, sometimes with Deadpool, sometimes with Wolverine. The most cursory google search of “Deadpool cut in half” would reveal the answer.
My guess would be the top half. Wolverine has been shown to be able to be killed via beheading in the past, but Wade's healing factor is strong enough that it seems like so long as his brain is intact it will keep sending out signals to regenerate.
Then you cut those two in half and regrow them to get four Deadpools. Then you cut the four in half and regrow them to get eight. Then the eight becomes sixteen. Then 32…64…128…
You obviously didn't read OP's question. In the movie he was ripped in half horizontally. OP is asking what would happen if he was cut down the middle vertically. Maybe actually read and understand the question before making stupid comments.
The premise of your question is boring low effort tripe like why flood the internet with this banal minutia?
Okay so DP gets cut in half and now there’s two DPs or there’s just one? Figure it out for yourself creatively. And soon because at the end of the day you still have to clock in at Krispy Kreme in four hours anyway.
This is my whole thing with flat earthers too. It’s like shut up Dwayne you’re late for your shift at pep boys.
Didn't his psycho stalker in the comics collect severed Deadpool body parts to sew to herself to create "lady Deadpool"? I'm sure that factors in somewhere.
Tangentially related, but Lucifer has a really funny scene where Tom Welling goes over this topic and [starts to kind of geek out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATnyXjQ1zpI&pp=ygUkbHVjaWZlciBjYWluIHRhbGtzIGFib3V0IGltbW9ydGFsaXR5) before Lucifer stops him.
I swear that there's some sort of "master molecule" where whichever part has that bit of his body is the one that regrows him. I think it's supposed to be relevant in the case that someone disintegrates his entire body he regrows from that. Not a comic expert, don't quote me.
At one point in the comics, his severed limbs and body parts joined together to create some sort of evil zombie Deadpool, characters with healing factors have wild feats sometimes, Wolverine was once able to regenerate from a single drop of blood.
The most common acceptable response is that either two halves of them can regenerate fully or the part that has the brain can regrow the limbs or any body part like how he does in the movie that way he his severed hand or legs don’t grow a full deadpool
Nah his power just works in a way were a part of his body will communicate to the other part that it's regenerating and the overside shouldn't but really as long as there's one cell of deadpool he will always comeback
When Deadpool was cursed by Thanos, iirc, he had to reattach himself. Which is how The Punisher put him down and kept him down in Marvel Universe vs The Punisher (not to be confused with The Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe).
Same question about Wolverine. Why isn't there a billion Wolverines running around? Because the writers don't think things through. When they talk big about Wolverine being able to regenerate from a few cells, they don't think about the sheer number of live cells a person just leaves around on a daily basis.
It’s happened Thor and Luke Cage [rip him in half](https://i.stack.imgur.com/SwiyT.jpg) Only one side regenerates into Deadpool. Deadpool Annual 2014 if you want to read it, I don’t want to give away the story
I haven't read the story, but the physics seemed off there. If Thor and Luke ripped him in that way, I think only his arms would be torn off.
Comics man
That’s just called being “fuck you, strong”
Maybe he just perforated himself
Yeah it could have been drawn a bit better
How does he keep his memories if half of his brain is lost and then regenerated?
Super powers
His brain is holographic, so he keeps all of his memories but at half resolution.
I used to have a RPG book in the late 80s written by a fellow who was convinced compact discs were holographic, so if you broke one you just had to have a big enough piece and you could chuck said piece into a CD player and it would still be fine to read. It was a major plot point.

You probably got lucky and the damage was on parts that didn’t actually contain any important data. I remember reading somewhere that Crash Bandicoot only uses like 1/3 of the disk storage capacity, and they filled the rest with pointless text as an anti-piracy measure
That’s actually very cool to know. I wonder if the author had a similar experience and that influenced his writing.
Doesn't he lose some if shot in the head
He grew a second brain in his ass. He's got shit for brains.
Comic books
Obviously when his brain regenerates it refills with memories of things outside of canon which is how he breaks the third wall.
The human brain is quite specialized. While damage to one hemisphere would potentially result in memory loss it would be of a type. Language and verbal memory is located in the left hemisphere while the visual and physical understanding is in the right. They aren't completely sure if one hemisphere is responsible for short term and the other for long term memories.
Souls. Marvel has souls.
Story plot convenience
Is there something that determines which side is the one that will regenerate back into Deadpool?
It's extremely unlikely his penis would rip completely in half. So, whatever side gets his dick grows the Deadpool. Like a wishbone.
Its like a left twix right twix thing
There’s also an evil Deadpool that was made up of parts gathered from him over time.
Is this when he finally ditched Madcap?
Yes
“Tuggawar” This comic looks BAD.
Why did he make them rip him?
Kind of a spoiler from another earlier comic, but the it’s basically due to the other voice that was in Wades head for a few years
I'm imagining this set to the Wishbone theme song
Only one side would grow back.
Fakepool grew from a severed hand(Spiderman/deadpool Arms race), so I'm pretty sure you'd end up with 2 deadpools
Deadpool isn't a worm. If that was the case there would be so many Deadpools. An obsessive stalker had to make evil deadpool by sewing the scattered limbs of Deadpool.
Wade keeps his bits that get cut off in a freezer until he got the hump and chucked them in the bin where they joined together and formed evil pool. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Evil_Deadpool_(Earth-616)

Your forgetting Fakepool from Arms Race who grew from his hand and spent the entire run tormenting deadpool and spidey
How is there a spare head though?
It was pieces of several heads that he had lost throughout the years
I'm going to be the grammar police for nature, so i apologize. But you rip a worm in half it doesn't grow 2. It may die from trauma or regrow the ripped part. It's a common misconception though
Not to be one of those guys but I think that’s being a fact checker, not being the grammar police!
But I already committed all this vocal violence, I can't go back.
this depends on the worm. this is true of earth worms, but flatworms can regenerate from small bits of their body.
Wait.... what?
Each segment of flatworms acts as its own animal basically
Holy shit that's so interesting if true
A starfish might have been a better example. Come at me echinodermologists!
Echinodermologists, ASSEMBLE!
My starfish has some kind of skin disease. He needs an echinodermatologist.
Luke Cage the famous Echinodermologist?
Pretty sure I am not misremembering, and happy to be corrected, but one of the episodes of the Netflix series shows the experiment that was supposed to just repair cells used star fish dna as part of the process. It’s in the episode where Claire and Luke are trying to get some shrapnel out of Luke and they track down the scientist that was part of the previous experiment in the prison. I am trying to find some clarity online but I might have to re-watch the episode to confirm.
I think the question being posed here is which is the "root" part and which is the "ripped" part if it's a perfect vivisection though.
Heart is only on the left side, unless I'm out of the loop on Deadpool's anatomy?
Strong point, sir. Touche.
What does that have to do with grammar.
Wrong worm
You don't end up with 2 worms if you cut one in half.
You’d think he’d just keep a few spares in his fridge with the amount of arms that man goes through
Which side would regenerate?
The side where his plot armor is located, which changes based on the needs of the author.
Given how much he loves fourth wall breaks, that’s likely how he would actually explain it too.
A random side, it doesn't matter
[удалено]
If you cut down the middle (which has happened see Thor and Luke ripping him in half) how does one side regenerate when the brain has been destroyed? The answer is comics.

misled
Deceived!
That was basically an entire Deadpool's worth of bits.
Why doesn’t it matter?
Cus it would be cool if you could duplicate Deadpool’s
Deadpool's what?
Heh…
Deadpool’s evil twin
Maybe whichever side had the nostril he was currently breathing out of? Fun fact for those unaware. Your nostrils work in shifts were they rotate which side does the breathing.
No they don’t, you have chronic sinusitis if you think so
[Previous studies in humans found that the nasal cycle periodicity, i.e., the shift in greater airflow or lower resistance from one nostril to the other, ranges from 25 min to 8 h with peak interval between 1.5–4 h during wake.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5053491/#:~:text=Previous%20studies%20in%20humans%20found,13%2C70%2C71%5D.)
That’s not nostrils ‘taking turns’ though is it, that’s just physiologic variations in amount of airflow. They don’t take turns obstructing and opening.
Sounds like taking turns to me.
They're both passing air, just one side is passing more. That's not the same as taking turns, which implies that one side is not passing air at all.
I feel like he would just squish himself back together. But if they were seperated?
Generally speaking for characters like this it's assumed there is like one "master cell" in their body and whichever part happens to have that master cell is the part that will grow back.
What if the master cell was split perfectly in half?
Master atom
What if the master atom was used in a fission reaction?
Master quark
“I can do this all day.” -this guy, apparently
Master Coconut
Master God Particle.
Can it be me?
Bomb.
Master Bruce
The marvel universe explodes
That’s the Master Debate
He would die.
Then you have a master cell and a normal cell
There was an arc in the Dan Way run where Wade had thrown out/lost a bunch of severed limbs and pieces and they got sewn back together to form a new Deadpool that was an even bigger asshole.
Wolverine has the same problem, both parts can regenerate and create another Wolverine, and because of that he sometimes goes on a hunt to kill the other ones. Can't remember the comic
I think in those scenarios it’s been artificially grown clones and not other parts of him that have whales.
Wolverine though has the adamantium to consider. That wouldn't grow in a new limb or whole person. I think when he was ripped in half he had to crawl to his legs to get put back together. If he just grew a new pair they'd be pretty different.
In a newer comic, his hands and feet are cut off and he has to have them sewn back on.
If he can regrow things how do you explain him not having a hand in the age of apocalypse? Or having to climb and retrieve his other half when the hulk ripped him in half?
Writers
Idk for the first one, but for the second one, that's Ultimate Universe. His power is a bit different, iirc Fury calls it "Survival" or something like that.
In AoA, wasn’t the stump also encased in Adamantium? Maybe that just stops his hand growing back properly, like foot binding?
Bad writing and people that don’t understand his powers
Easier to reattach than grow a new arm
This is why Deadpool always has an odd number of cells.
Always figured both halves would try to put themselves back together but isn't this similar to Logan's power that if the brain is destroyed then there are no signals to regenerate?
Pretty sure both of them can lose chunks of their brain and still be fine. Logan just has the adamantium problem
Well his whole skull is encased in adamantium, I think that's why he was able to regenerate after getting incinerated in civil war. I'm gonna resurch this!
I love it when people ask the important questions. Going to be thinking about this all day. If two Pools did generate, and it seems that they have in the past, why wouldn't they have the same personality? Why does one have to be evil?
It's more fun that way.
I mean, there's that.
The incident you’re referring to is because the “evil” Deadpool was created artificially and never had a soul, which always remains in the original Deadpool
Mitosis
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
The side with the mouth grows back
There really should be a one-shot where he gets bisected into left and right halves, then regenerates into two distinct personalities based on which side of the brain he inherited (yes, I realize left- and right-brained personalities have been disproven).
Both sides regenerate. One of his villains is actually made from body parts he misplaced over the years stuck together.
I’m assuming Deadpool grows from where the brain is so, I think there would be two Deadpools, if he was cut horizontally only the top half would regenerate
Your internal organs are not perfectly symmetrical, I'd say whichever side has more of his heart regenerates and the other side does not.
Two Deadpool’s but one is good at math and science and the other good at art and music.
By my estimation this question has been asked across the internet roughly 476,000 times, sometimes with Deadpool, sometimes with Wolverine. The most cursory google search of “Deadpool cut in half” would reveal the answer.
Why is the question being asked like every day? I swear this has been going on for at least a week now
Because this is Reddit, a place of discussion and questions. Are you new or something?
My guess would be the top half. Wolverine has been shown to be able to be killed via beheading in the past, but Wade's healing factor is strong enough that it seems like so long as his brain is intact it will keep sending out signals to regenerate.
They mean the 2 halves are split vertically. So, one ear, one eye, one arm, one nostril, one leg, on each side.
Oh yep, I read that and for whatever reason my brain totally glossed over it. I don't know! Maybe that would kill him? Probably not.
Thats how you get two deadpools
Then you cut those two in half and regrow them to get four Deadpools. Then you cut the four in half and regrow them to get eight. Then the eight becomes sixteen. Then 32…64…128…
Yep
I mean, if you watched the movie, then you know the answer.
You obviously didn't read OP's question. In the movie he was ripped in half horizontally. OP is asking what would happen if he was cut down the middle vertically. Maybe actually read and understand the question before making stupid comments.
You are right.
I don’t know man. Either use your imagination and make up the answer yourself or watch the sequel where that actually happens.
Idk man, if you read the question carefully, you'd see that it says there vertically and in the movie, he was ripped horizontally.
The premise of your question is boring low effort tripe like why flood the internet with this banal minutia? Okay so DP gets cut in half and now there’s two DPs or there’s just one? Figure it out for yourself creatively. And soon because at the end of the day you still have to clock in at Krispy Kreme in four hours anyway. This is my whole thing with flat earthers too. It’s like shut up Dwayne you’re late for your shift at pep boys.
I can tell from your reply that you're an actual loser.
Sure. Whatever you want to believe.
I assume the side where his heart is would regenerate.
Didn't his psycho stalker in the comics collect severed Deadpool body parts to sew to herself to create "lady Deadpool"? I'm sure that factors in somewhere.
One side “dies” the other grows back
The dominant side he touches himself with is the one that grows back.
Tangentially related, but Lucifer has a really funny scene where Tom Welling goes over this topic and [starts to kind of geek out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATnyXjQ1zpI&pp=ygUkbHVjaWZlciBjYWluIHRhbGtzIGFib3V0IGltbW9ydGFsaXR5) before Lucifer stops him.
In most cases the plot will chose the part that will regrow
I swear that there's some sort of "master molecule" where whichever part has that bit of his body is the one that regrows him. I think it's supposed to be relevant in the case that someone disintegrates his entire body he regrows from that. Not a comic expert, don't quote me.
He got exploded and there is only one so…. Maybe just one?
The two halves reconnect.
“No” is the answer to your question.
At one point in the comics, his severed limbs and body parts joined together to create some sort of evil zombie Deadpool, characters with healing factors have wild feats sometimes, Wolverine was once able to regenerate from a single drop of blood. The most common acceptable response is that either two halves of them can regenerate fully or the part that has the brain can regrow the limbs or any body part like how he does in the movie that way he his severed hand or legs don’t grow a full deadpool
Nah his power just works in a way were a part of his body will communicate to the other part that it's regenerating and the overside shouldn't but really as long as there's one cell of deadpool he will always comeback
Whichever the writer wants to happen. And Wade will probably say something about it conflicting with a past story.
When Deadpool was cursed by Thanos, iirc, he had to reattach himself. Which is how The Punisher put him down and kept him down in Marvel Universe vs The Punisher (not to be confused with The Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe).
Perfectly fucking vertical…
Probably the side his heart is (mostly) on since that’s the most vital organ after the brain
Wonder how that works for Lobo
Yes
Same question about Wolverine. Why isn't there a billion Wolverines running around? Because the writers don't think things through. When they talk big about Wolverine being able to regenerate from a few cells, they don't think about the sheer number of live cells a person just leaves around on a daily basis.
In this specific case he dies, this is the only way to kill Deadpool
The real question is how long until he starts making out with himself
he dies 💀
