The Numerology of Deadpool

Deadpool & Wolverine was released in cinemas a few weeks ago, giving us the opportunity to talk about Deadpool’s numerology. Deadpool, aka Wade Winston Wilson, made his first appearance in New Mutants 98, which was published on December 11, 1990, with a cover date of Feb 1991. He is one of the best-known superheroes world-wide. This article will explore the numerology of Deadpool to see how he expresses his numbers.  

Life Path Number 

The Life Path is the total of a person’s birth day (mm/dd/yyyy). Deadpool’s “birthday” was December 11, 1990, so 12/11/1990, which totals 2013, which totals 6. If the numbers are added sequentially, the total is 24, which reduces to 6.  

An individual that has life path number six is nurturing and supportive. Therefore, they have passion and energy to help others, support their community, and teach. Their personality develops through their efforts to learn about the world by being of service to others. 

As service people, they embrace compassion, empathy, and attentiveness. So, they become successful through the support of others as matter of course and in times of need. Since they serve to succeed in life, they overcome challenges thrown in their way by helping people who can overcome the challenges and provide assistance to others.

Amusingly enough, Deadpool is known as the “merc with a mouth.” His character is a mercenary, someone who offers their combat skills as a service to those willing to pay the necessary fees. This character is not a leader of others (8), but rather someone for hire (6). 

Destiny Number 

The Destiny Number is the total of the full birth name. In the case of a fictional character with a superhero name and a secret identity, we will look at both. His secret identity name is Wade Winston Wilson,  which totals 77, a master number, which totals 14, which reduces to 5; Deadpool totals 36, which reduces to 9.  

Wade Winston Wilson (5) 

An individual that has a Destiny number five attracts adventurous people and supports change agents. Therefore, they often find themselves in roles that support lives of adventure and activity. They enjoy exploration and will draw other explorers to themselves. 

As a result, they help others master knowledge and enjoy wide-ranging experiences. Destiny wants them to be on the go and help others visit and learn about the wider world.

Deadpool (9) 

An individual that has a Destiny number nine attracts generous and wise people. Therefore, they know how to encourage the people who want to engage the wider world and take on the largest human problems. 

They recognize and draw in the people most concerned about the evolution and health of humanity. So, they can show people how to embrace charity and altruism. Destiny wants them to show others the ways of patience and forgiveness.

Active Number 

You lead into life with your first name, which is why its numerical value is your Active Number. Some people use their given first name, some take on a nickname given to them by a family member or peer, and some people choose a nickname or even an alternative name.  

The “true” active number is the given birth name. Even if you legally change your first name, the core Active Number is the birth name given to you by your parents. A legally changed name is more powerful than a nickname. And any name used to identify a person in the world is a variation of an Active Number. In Wade’s case, his active number is 15, which reduces to 6. 

An individual that has an Active Number 6 wants to help and heal. Therefore, they understand and enjoy service, can teach what they learn, and tend to be highly sympathetic or empathic. A child with a 6 first name will make sure no other children are left out of a game and want to help with chores. First name 6 individuals spot needs and work to fill them. 

Hereditary Number 

Essentially, you inherit numbers from your parents. Most often, the father’s surname is the one that dominates and is known out in the world. The mother’s surname often becomes the middle name for a woman after marriage, when she assumes the surname of her husband. In Wade’s case, his last name Wilson totals 29, which totals 11, a master number, which reduces to 2. 

An individual that has a Heredity Number 11 inherits special insight or talent from one or both parents. The person must determine how to understand number 11 energy through the influence of the parent.  That influence may manifest as support or suppression.  In other words, the child gets encouragement to stand out positively or must overcome narcissism from the parent.  Either way the child learns the lesson of individuation from the parent or despite the parent with last name that is the number 11. 

An individual that has a Heredity Number 2 inherits partnering from one or both parents. The person must determine how to understand number 2 energy through the influence of the parent.  That influence may manifest as support or suppression.  In other words, the child gets encouragement to relate and connect with others or has no relationship with the parent.  Either way the child learns the lesson of relating from the parent or in spite of the parent with last name that is the number 2. 

Soul Urge Number 

The Soul Urge Number is the total of the vowels in a name, specifically the full birth name. The Soul Urge is like an energy charge within the numerology of a person. The number of the Soul Urge “powers” the Destiny Number. In Deadpool’s case, the number is 18, which reduces to 9. 

An individual that has a Soul Urge Number 9 draws energy from a love of life. Therefore, they operate with a need to unlock wisdom to generate energy. These individuals are often patient, observant, and introverted. Accepting that you need to open and generous to get what you want and to get things done will help you be more successful in your relationships and endeavors. 

Wade Winston Wilson (9) 

His secret identity Soul Urge number is also 9. 

Personality Number 

The Personality Number is the total of consonants in the name, specifically the full birth name. The Personality Number is how people encounter someone and interpret them. It is like the clothing you choose when you plan to go out in public, which causes people to react to you a certain way. For Deadpool, the number is 18, which reduces to 9. 

An individual that has a Personality Number 9 presents as wise to others. Therefore, others see them as either altruistic or a “push over”. People who value wise counselors will expect a Personality 9 to fulfill that role in life. Do not be surprised if people treat you as someone who wants to listen to their worries and problems, even if you want someone to listen to you. 

Wade Winston Wilson (5) 

An individual that has a Personality Number 5 presents as adventurous to others. Therefore, other see them as either self-confident or selfish. People who like explorers will expect a Personality 5 to fulfill that role in life. Do not be surprised if people treat you as someone who embraces, even if you want to stay “right where you are”. 

Soul Purpose Number 

Your Life Path Number reveals your numerical engine; it is the energy that drives you. Your Destiny Number reveals the numerical energy the world wants from you. When you combine them, you get your Soul Purpose Number, which reveals the “why” of your existence in this lifetime. 

In Deadpool’s case his Soul Purpose Number is the total of his Life Path Number 6 plus his Destiny Number 9, which totals 15, which reduces to 6. With a 6 + 9 combination, he is here to “serve as the conscience for those in need”.  

Deadpool’s total numerology is: 

• LPN = 6 

• DN = 9 

• SUN = 9 

• PN = 9 

• SPN = 6 

In Wade’s case his Soul Purpose Number is the total of his Life Path Number 6 plus his Destiny Number 5, which totals 11, a master number, which reduces to 2. With a 6 + 5 combination, he is here to “stand out disruptively to teach others”.  

Wade’s total numerology is: 

• LPN = 6 

• DN = 5 

• AN = 6 

• HN = 11/2 

• SUN = 9 

• PN = 5 
• SPN = 11/2
