Vanessa Carlysle

Portrayed by the beautiful Morena Baccarin, Vanessa Carlysle was the better half in the steamy sex-scene from the first trailer. In this second one it is revealed that she is also the reason why the Merc becomes a superhero – in order to save her from Ajax (and this isn’t at all the superhero way). Apparently, he has kidnapped her so now Wade Wilson needs to become something else – he has an indestructible body already, so what he needs is a costume.

Yes, there is also a montage in the film in which he makes his own costume – though Tim Miller did assure the fans that it is like nothing anybody has seen. We have our doubts at the moment, but looking forward to seeing this scene!

Back to Vanessa, she is in the comics the mutant known as Copycat – the name is self-explanatory, Vanessa being able to mimic others to a cellular level, pretty much like Mystique does. However, Copycat can even mimic the powers of other mutants. In the second trailer, Vanessa says that she has played many roles – what does she mean? Is this a hint that she is also a mutant in this flick, or is this a hint that in the coming sequels she will become one?

Of course, it may be something else, more trivial – the rumor is that Vanessa is a call-girl, which means that she did play quite a few roles for and with her clients…
