Why It Matters

New Mutants #98 is one of the defining Marvel keys of the early 1990s, introducing Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth. Deadpool’s popularity across comics, films, games and wider pop culture has made this issue a must-have book for Marvel collectors.

This issue also features the first appearances of Gideon and Copycat, who appears in the story as Domino, adding extra key-issue weight beyond Deadpool’s debut. CGC identifies New Mutants #98 as the first appearance of Deadpool, while Marvel Database notes the first appearances of Deadpool, Gideon and Copycat. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
