'Deadpool' spotted on a bakkie in the Free State

How epic is this? 'Deadpool' did not break character even though he was relaxing at the back of a bakkie...

We know and love 'Deadpool', the Marvel superhero, for his wittiness, humour, and anti-hero personality. His demeanour stands out, which equates to his popularity amongst the masses. 

Played by Ryan Reynolds, we couldn't imagine a better-suited match. 

The success of the 2024 'Deadpool & Wolverine' Marvel film has undoubtedly gathered fans from around the world. Many of those fans seem to stem from South Africa, particularly the Free State. 

A video of 'Deadpool' relaxing at the back of a Ford Raptor Bakkie has pleasantly surprised many people. The video was shared on TikTok and shows 'Deadpool' (as much as we would like to believe it truly is Deadpool, it is a person dressed like him) sitting at the back with their headphones on. 

'Deadpool' in South Africa stays in character and even gives the person videoing a little pose as they pass. 

It was an exciting surprise to see another superhero on the roads, one that caters more for adult humour and entertainment.

It's fitting to see a superhero in our midst as we celebrate Heritage Month because, if anything, we are built to withstand challenges as South Africans daily. 

Which, in essence, could mean that we all have a little superhero magic within us...
