Deadpool Killer' Wade Wilson's Death Row Mugshot Highlights Disturbing Transformation Since 2019 Arrest
Wade Wilson, dubbed the "Deadpool Killer" for sharing a name with the Marvel superhero, has a brand new mugshot -- officially landing on death row after receiving two death sentenceslast month.
The Union Correctional Institution has published his latest booking photo online (far right), with his level of custody being labeled as "Maximum," while "Death Sentence" is written as his current release date. He's currently not in confinement; no date has been set for his execution.
The new photo highlights Wilson's drastic transformation behind bars since he was arrested in connection to the grisly murders of Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, in 2019.
The picture on the far left was taken on October 8, 2019, after he was arrested for burglary, larceny, damaged property and battery for attacking his then-girlfriend on October 7. While he was in custody, he was named as a person of interest in Melton and Ruiz's murders, before being indicted on first-degree murder charges in November 2019.
In the first photo, his tattoos -- including the words "BRED FOR WAR" on his neck -- didn't yet reach his face. Later in 2019, he buzzed his hair for a court appearance, where a giant swastika could be seen on the side of his head.
By 2023, as seen in the middle photo, he had grown his hair out again, covering up the swastika tattoo while also appearing somewhat thinner in the face.
It wasn't until 2024, leading up to his trial, where his new tattoos really started to take over his face. Additional ink included the word "glory" on his temple, a smaller swastika under his eye, a skull and stitching across his lips and continuing toward his cheeks.
He also added the words, "Why so serious? Ha ha ha," around his eye, in what seems like a reference to Heath Ledger's Joker from The Dark Knight.
Despite having his hair grown out for his trial, during which he wore it gelled back, it's now buzzed again.
