Exactly why I'm so against people adding appearances to comics that aren't released. Is it likely Deadpool is in the next issue of Deadpool? Yes. Is it a guarantee? Absolutely not. And considering a LOT of those western heroes didn't appear until MANY issues into their own series (never understood that one, but to be honest, I never tried to. I'm sure it's interesting, I just never looked into it), it goes double for them.

And it's even worse for team books. I can't remember who it was that felt the need to add the general Generation X lineup to every Generation X comic, when ANY team book will fluctuate in appearances issue to issue (even something fairly solid like Fantastic Four). Especially when they picked the wrong M and Penance to include.

But I'll shut up now before I go too far down Rant Lane.

Oh the Western thing is just basically because Marvel rebooted some of their western characters. The original Rawhide Kid actually wore rawhide, had a rawhide whip and rode around with a boy sidekick, but he was retconned by the current and more popular Rawhide Kid. Same thing with the Two-Gun Kid as well. While Marvel has stated that the original Two-Gun was likely a fictional character that inspired Matt Hawk, apparently the original Rawhide Kid was a real guy according to the most recent Marvel Handbook profiles about the second Rawhide Kid.
