Deadpool Brianna Hildebrand is Negasonic Teenage Warhead

[psylockolussus]

She should appear all Gothic, with pale white skin like Domino in the comics. However I do wonder if the others have "superhero" costumes too.

 

[psylockolussus]

So she's a student of Colossus!

 

[MydnightPhoenix]

That name is quite awesome and especially memorable, the DP said it's the coolest name ever. She looks much better in the movie than the images from the comic book.

 

[psylockolussus]

Hmmm personally, I wish she looked closer to the way that she appeared in the comics... like she looks creepy and more mysterious in the comics.

Interview.

Here's an excerpt where she mentions her powers.

You’re a mind reader?

Brianna Hildebrand: Yeah. She can see the future, so that’s cool, too. [laughs] I wish I could do that.

Her ability to see the future, does that filter to the storyline?

Brianna Hildebrand: Actually, kind of not really because in this first… at least for now, what she sees is a little bit sarcastic with Deadpool. It’s kind of just her way of getting under Deadpool’s skin. So it wouldn’t really contribute as much, not as much as her power to explode, because she explodes.

How does that work?

Brianna Hildebrand:She runs and explodes at things. She’s like a warhead. So she detonates, I guess would be how to explain it. Doing the training for the running, that was hard because I’m not a runner. I was like, “[gasps for air]. OK, guys!”

 

[psylockolussus]

I hope she doesn't come across as Yukio 2.0.

 

[StarLord]

 

[BlackFox]

I hope she doesn't come across as Yukio 2.0.

Judging by the second trailer and the gifs above I dont think thats a worry any more.

 

[Ryan1210]

Is that thermo-chemical energy?

 

[kasjan]

I thought her powers are:
- telepathy
- precognition

Couldn't they just give us a charavter with power like we saw in trailer?

 

[Weather Witch]

With a character this obscure, it honestly doesn't really bother me that they are expanding her power set. I mean her role in the comics was basically to die. I think this is an improvement. t:

Thats probably why they picked that one to use. Cant see their being many Negasonic Teenage Warhead fans outraged at her change considering she was in about two comics total.

Judging from the trailer they made her more interesting as well so its an improvement.

Yeah that sounds about right.

^ This

 

[4thWallBreaker]

Funko Pop figure in my future confirmed. :P

She seems really interesting. Can't wait to see what's in store for her character.

Also... Something about a girl that can pull off short hair. What a great face, too. Big eyes. Tickling hormones. Must not...touch...me.

People say goth, but it's coming off as a grunge-punk cut. I'm guessing this is the 90s at the very least.

 

[craigaat]

Am I the only one who thought of this when watching the new trailer?

Merry Christmas!

 

[pixen]

I was a fan of the character in the comics but yeah, not upset at all. She has such a cool nickname that I could care less about what power they gave her.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

I'm really psyched to see her after the latest trailer. Her messing about on her phone was such a modern realistic thing then her unleashing hell was just icing

Sadly there are those who never heard of the character but will get outraged coz they dared change her

And Might I add...

 

[StarLord]

Negasonic Teenage WARHEAD. You can't have a character name like that and expect crappy powers.

 

[Weather Witch]

Sadly there are those who never heard of the character but will get outraged coz they dared change her :whatever

I've already seen a bit of this, yes. But beyond some internet trolling, I think people are going to enjoy this character. t:

 

[Loki882]

I think that I remember reading somewhere that Cannonball was originally supposed to be here to. But they had to cut him out, so I think that they just transferred those abilities to NTW (those powers do look somewhat Sam-ish).

 

[def28]

They thought about him but didn't like him as a character.

I went through the list of Marvel characters and picked a few others I thought could be visually spectacular and fun. And at the end of that list was Negasonic, which I just thought was a freaky, funny name. And I sent this list over to the writers, Rhett [Reese] and Paul [Wernick], and they were like, 'Oh my f------ god, we have to use her!' So that’s how she ended up in the movie. Her name was cool, and we kind of wanted a straight-man to play against Colossus. We thought about Cannonball, but he would’ve been a stupid hick character, whereas the guys wrote Negasonic as this deadpan goth teen, which was a great angle. She turned out really well.”

Garrison Kane was the character who was confirmed to be cut. And it was due to budget. Angel Dust replaced him.

As for why NTW has those powers...

"And then we thought, well, we're going to need to make her powers fit with who she feels like she is in the movie and so to me it's just like other characters in the Marvel universe, like Nitro, for instance, whose power is to just explode parts of their body," Miller stated.

"But we did try to do it so that it wasn't just a simple, 'oh, I can explode', she can transfer the force of the explosion down so she can move upwards - she can put it into a punch if she wanted to. So it was really just her fist exploding as she hit somebody. we tried to mix it up, even though we didn't use that particular thing in the movie, but it was the idea. Actually, we did use it in the movie, it's just not in the movie now!"

I'm in agreement with everyone else about her powers. Couldn't care less about the liberties they've taken with her abilities. Marvel will probably retcon/upgrade the character in the comics, and give her the powers she has in the movies anyway.

That being said, they could have gone with a character like Armor (Hisako Ichiki). She appears to have comparable powers. Hindsight is 20/20 of course.

 

[def28]

Think it's pretty clear now that they liked Negasonic cause of her ridiculous name. Plays into jokes.

Be kind of tough, since she's dead and all.
