Unlocking Deadpool in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is one of the most rewarding challenges for completionists looking to fully master the game. Known as the Merc with a Mouth, this fan-favorite character brings unique dual-katana combat, rapid-fire pistols, and humorous animations to your playable roster. However, securing him requires significant effort across both the main campaign and various side activities.
Completing the Deadpool Bonus Missions
To begin your path toward playing as Deadpool, you must first locate and complete all eleven of his secret side missions scattered across the Manhattan hub map. These special levels unlock gradually as you collect Gold Bricks throughout your adventure, with the final stages requiring a substantial total. Each bonus mission features its own story objectives and unique puzzles that must be cleared in order to progress.
While clearing these missions in Story Mode allows you to experience their unique narratives, it is only the first step. You must re-enter each stage in Free Play mode to access hidden areas that require specific character abilities. Completing these stages thoroughly ensures you gather the necessary collectibles required for the ultimate reward.
Collecting All Eleven Deadpool Red Bricks
The core requirement for unlocking Deadpool involves finding every Deadpool Red Brick hidden within the bonus stages. Inside each of the eleven side missions, a red brick is concealed behind environmental puzzles or sealed doors that demand abilities like telekinesis or magnetic control. For instance, levels like Tabloid Tidy Up and Feeling Fisky require clever interaction with surrounding objects to reveal their hidden bricks.
Finding these red collectibles during Free Play mode adds them to your available inventory on the SHIELD Helicarrier. Players who are searching for extra guidance can check out for tips on navigating complex hub activities. Ensuring that you do not skip any hidden room is essential to collecting the full set of eleven bricks.
Purchasing Red Bricks on the SHIELD Helicarrier
Once you have located all the required Red Bricks, head over to Deadpool's quarters located inside the SHIELD Helicarrier. Accessing the central computer in his room allows you to purchase each brick using the studs you have gathered during your gameplay. Keep in mind that acquiring all eleven red bricks requires millions of studs, making stud multiplier extras extremely helpful.
After buying the final brick on the list, Deadpool becomes officially unlocked as a playable character in your roster. You can then select him freely in any open-world district or Free Play level. His hilarious combat moves and immortal nature make the long unlocking process completely worth the effort.
