Deadpool has gone up against the best. Like everyone, there are some fights that he should have lost and ended up winning. Among them was his his battle against Dracula.
The classic vampire hired Wade to find his betrothed Shiklah and bring her back to him. On their journey, Wade and Shiklah fell in love. They also find out that Dracula killed Shiklah’s brothers and planned on killing her. Deadpool defended her honor and fought Dracula. However, just as Dracula was going to win, he made a fatal flaw: He drank Deadpool’s blood and it made him ill.
After that, Wade beat Dracula and sent him running. Retreating is not something Dracula does – so that’s a major victory. With that victory came this next one.

Deadpool and Shiklah got married before Deadpool fought Dracula. Despite that, they wanted a ceremony. The people who showed up that made this special. Wolverine, Steve Rogers, and Cable were by his side, Nightcrawler performed the ceremony and Thor stopped their outdoor ceremony from getting rained out. Even Hulk, Luke Cage, and Beast showed up and they hate him.
It was a perfect day for Wade Wilson. The marriage did end horribly, but Shiklah did leave him with a final message. “I’ll have some fun with Dracula… but keep your phone on. You never know when booty calls.”
