Synopsis for 1st story

As Weapon XI begins to emerge from the portal, Deadpool recoils in horror... only for a second Deadpool in a white costume to appear, shoot Weapon XI in the head, and step through instead. The white-clad Deadpool quips that the writer came dangerously close to turning the manga into an irredeemable garbage fire, introducing himself as the Wade Wilson from Earth-617. Just as Deadpool lets out a sigh of relief, Loki reveals that Deadpool-617 works for him and never grew beyond being a ruthless mercenary for hire. Deadpool is left incredulous and disgusted by this, but Deadpool-617 declares his intent to make Deadpool suffer for failing to save his lover and his best friend. Locking swords with Deadpool-617, Deadpool says he knows exactly how his counterpart feels, but hearing it said so dramatically makes him want to die of embarrassment.

Telling Deadpool-617 to have fun finishing Deadpool off, Loki declares his intent to summon more allies. As they clash, Deadpool wonders if it won't be hard for readers to tell them apart, but Deadpool-617 quips that the evil palette swap gimmick worked wonders for Venom's popularity. Impaling each other and healing in seconds, Deadpool-617 quips that they're evenly matched in every respect. Agreeing, Deadpool guesses that Earth-617 doesn't have Jump manga and decides to borrow a few tricks from his senpai in Shōnen Jump and pulls out a magazine. However, his attempts to use Total Concentration Breathing from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and Three Sword Style from ONE PIECE fail miserably due to his mask getting in the way. As Deadpool tosses the magazine away in disgust, Deadpool-617 retorts that he guest-starred in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday magazine instead, unleashing the Kongōsōha attack from Inuyasha. Shredded by the adamant barrage, Deadpool is nonetheless impressed and asks if he can have Kazuhiro Fujita's autograph. Deadpool-617 grabs Deadpool by the throat and impales him on a tree stump in an homage to Logan before snapping a photo and hashtagging Wolverine. As Deadpool berates him and says people with no morals need to stay off social media, Deadpool-617 bemusedly asks why his counterpart is acting all goody-two-shoes. Sneering at the notion that a killer for hire could ever be a hero, Deadpool-617 declares his intent to kill Deadpool over and over until he has had his fill, then help Loki destroy Japan in return for one million dollars. As Deadpool-617 draws his katana and lunges, Deadpool scoffs that Tony Stark is paying him way more than that. Deadpool shows Deadpool-617 proof, and the two of them hug it out and set aside their differences.

Loki turns, wondering what's taking Deadpool-617 so long, and is dismayed to realize the two Deadpools are teaming up against him. As Loki furiously calls Deadpool-617 a traitor, the two Deadpools retort that their nature as an antihero lets them play any role the story requires, rather than strictly being a hero or villain, and that the only consistency about them is that they're both a scummy jackass and a total badass. Attacking in unison, the two Deadpools punch through Loki's barrier in a reference to Takaya: Senbu Gakuen Gekitouden's controversial finale.
