Marvel Rivals’ faithful rendition of Deadpool as a maid is catching fans off guard.

Deadpool may not take himself too seriously, but many players of Marvel Rivals certainly do. The fourth-wall-breaking antihero has just received a new maid skin in the hero shooter—a cosmetic that’s as eye-catching as it is polarizing.

Draped in pink frills and bows, this version of Deadpool frolics around while pretending to be a cat. From his sticker-covered planner to his delicate mannerisms, everything about this new look embraces a playful, girly vibe. His katanas, adorned with hearts and wings, would fit right into an episode of Sailor Moon.

A skin like this was never going to win over everyone, and while most players might simply choose to skip it, some detractors are voicing their displeasure, claiming that Marvel Rivals is “forcing gay costumes on people now.” This misguided sentiment has gained traction online, with one user expressing concerns over the developer’s supposed diversity agenda, and the community is treating this as emblematic of a certain type of Marvel fan.

“What is this lame stuff?” one commenter wrote on a video showcasing the skin. “Gooner game now,” another lamented, complete with a broken heart emoji.

These frustrated fans may have only seen a couple of movies or played a few games featuring Marvel’s antihero. They appreciate Deadpool’s humor but view him primarily as a masculine figure. Those unfamiliar with the comics might not realize that this seemingly outrageous skin actually aligns perfectly with Deadpool’s comedic style. Canonically pansexual, Deadpool is open to romantic encounters with anyone, and it’s not hard to imagine Wade Wilson having a maid costume tucked away in his wardrobe.

Let’s also remember that Marvel Rivals is unapologetically bold. The hero shooter has gained notoriety for its overtly sexual hero skins, predominantly for female characters. The developer has stated that these striking skins are not designed as bait to attract players but are instead meant to honor the lore. So, if you find yourself cringing at Deadpool flaunting his heart-covered lingerie, it might be worth considering that you’re just a fair-weather fan. Or, you know, you could just look the other way.
