    In the movie, it is suggested that Deadpool has latent mutant powers. There is no where from the comics. In the comics, Deadpool gets his abilities from Wolverine.

    https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Wade_Wilson_(Earth-616)#Weapon_X

    Vanessa is also from the comics, as the mutant Copycat.

    https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Vanessa_Carlysle_(Earth-616)

    And, yes, Blind Al is from the comics too.

    https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Blind_Al_(Althea)_(Earth-616)

    Apparently, Deadpool is “inspired” from Spider-man, even though he has a lot of similarities with DC’s Deathstroke.

    https://screenrant.com/deadpool-spiderman-ripoff-rob-liefeld-marvel-comics/

    Ajax is from the comics, but no one cares.

    The same with Angel Dust.

    There is some confusion about which timeline this movie takes place in. I think it’s an alternative version of the Singer X-Men. But, maybe not.

    The comics never went into real detail about the Kingpin, but there are some similarities. Oh, and in the comics, he was a sumo wrestler!

    https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Wilson_Fisk_(Earth-616)

    The show doesn’t really tell about any businesses Frisk runs, but in the comics, Frisk owned Stark-Fujikawa.

    The Maya origin story would be more interesting with Daredevil in the mix, but there were probably production reasons that didn’t happen.
