Marvel Spotlight (Marvel;Re)/The Unspeakable Gwenpool

The Unspeakable Gwenpool is a one-shot comic book that follows Gwenpool, AKA Gwendolyn Poole, who is a girl that resembles Gwen Stacy and is from a world that is very similar to our own, in that the Marvel characters are all fictional characters.
==Synopsis==
In a metafictional fourth-wall-breaking adventure, Gwenpool uses her knowledge of Marvel lore to try and become a hero. However, it is a lot harder than she originally thought.
==Plot==
The first thing we see is Gwenpool standing, pointing at the reader.
*Gwenpool: GWENPOOL!!
Gwenpool pulls out a whiteboard with very detailed pictures of her origin drawn on it.
*Gwenpool: I know what you're thinking, "why should I bother reading a story about someone like this?" Well, in case you were thinking that, let me explain myself a bit. My name is Gwendolyn Poole and I'm... well, truth be told, I'm a bit of a Marvel fangirl. Marvel was there for me in the world that I came from. Even in my darkest times, they helped me out. I started writing fanfics about the heroes I liked (not lemon fics, I can't stress that enough), and eventually, guess what I came across?
Gwenpool pulls out a laptop that shows the main Ideas Fandom page for Marvel;Re.
*Gwenpool: I came across the Ideas Wiki, or I guess Fandom now, and started making stories on it! And then this Marvel;Re project came out and I got super excited! I really wanted to be a part of it but I was super anxious and shy so I never asked if I could join. But, eventually, I realized there was a way that I could be a part of it. I transported myself into the fictional world and then the Unspeakable Gwenpool was born!
It's revealed she's telling this story to Captain America, Hulk, and Thor.
*Captain America: ..."Unspeakable"?
*Gwenpool: Well, I wanted to call myself "Unbeatable" or "Unstoppable" but those two were taken. Then I realized I've got a Deadpool theme going and Deadpool's pretty "unspeakable", so... yeah! Unspeakable Gwenpool!
*Thor: ...Pardon me, but this is your pitch for why we should let you into the Avengers?
*Gwenpool: Well, technically it's exposition for the sake of the reader but yeah, I guess it could also double as that. So, what do you say? Am I a reserve now?
*Hulk: ...Leave.
Gwenpool is shown having the gates of Avengers Mansion closed on her.
*Gwenpool: Crap.
Gwenpool takes her mask off and wanders away to a run-down apartment building. Her room in the apartment has several posters of heroes and famous Marvel comic covers on the wall.
*Gwenpool (narration): I've been trying to become a hero since the moment I got transported into this world... in my normal world, that was my dream. After I graduated high school and started wandering around with no real place to go, comics and superheroes were there to help me get a grip of my life. I always wanted to be just like them or meet them. In fact, if I'm being honest, I kinda... sorta... Mary Sue'd myself into some of my fanfics so that I could meet my favourite characters and date the ones I had crushes on. It's embarrassing, I know, but that's how much I love them. And now that I've met them, none of them will give me a chance...
Gwenpool sighs.
*Gwenpool: I know for a fact I could be a hero if I just got some help...
*???: You really wanna be a hero that bad?
Gwenpool turns around, revealing Deadpool standing at her door.
*Deadpool: Well, you've got a mentor right here! I'll help you all I can and--
*Gwenpool: No.
*Deadpool: Huh?
*Gwenpool: If I'm being honest, I never liked you. I think you're a jerk and I don't like stories about jerks. Plus your jokes are mostly references to memes that'll be dead in a week. I've actually been thinking about moving out of your apartment for a bit, I really only moved in here cause it was the cheapest place I could find. Also, I'm almost positive that if you wouldn't mentor me at all and you'd just spent your time trying to bang me.
*Deadpool: ...I feel called out.
*Gwenpool: Well, it was nice knowing you and I hope that we never see each other again.
Gwenpool starts grabbing her posters off the wall.
*Gwenpool: These are mine.
Gwenpool puts her posters in a backpack and walks out of the building.
*Gwenpool: Welp, burned that bridge forever. Time to go house hunting, I guess. Maybe I'll find my mentor while doing that.
Gwenpool visits three people in an attempt to find a new roommate. The first is Jessica Jones.
*Jessica Jones: No.
*Gwenpool: Oh, come on! I was living with a dude I hated before this and--
*Jessica Jones: No.
*Gwenpool: You gotta be kidding!
The second is Forbush Man.
*Forbush Man: Sorry, but I'm already taking care of Squirrel Girl. Her brain's been damaged and she can't really take care of herself so--
*Gwenpool: Wait... what?
*Forbush Man: What?
*Gwenpool: Squirrel Girl's got brain damage?
*Forbush Man: Yeah?
*Gwenpool: Doesn't that limit story possibilities?
*Forbush Man: Look, I didn't write the story, I was just in it.
The third and final person she visits is Timebroker Kang from Exiles: Endless.
*Ultimate Kang: ...How did you even manage to get here?
*Gwenpool: Jumpcut.
*Ultimate Kang: ...What?
*Gwenpool: It cut and then I was here.
*Ultimate Kang: ...Go away.
After failing to find a new place to live, Gwenpool sits on top of a billboard while staring off at the sky.
*Gwenpool: Well, son of a bitch... It's a lot harder living in the Marvel universe than I thought it'd be...
She jumps off of the billboard and lands on a car without the driver noticing.
*Gwenpool: Thank god this is a superhero universe or else that fall would've busted my legs open.
She lies back on the car and pulls out the first ever Amazing Spider-Man issue.
*Gwenpool: How do other heroes do it when they're first starting out...?
She flips through the comic.
*Gwenpool: Wait, Spider-Man tried to join the Fantastic Four for money? Well, I guess he did mainly care about money back then... Yeah, early years Spider-Man probably isn't the best example of how to begin as a hero...
The car she's riding on top of drives into a garage and the man driving walks out, revealing it to be Grim Reaper. Reaper closes his car door and spots Gwenpool relaxing on top of his car.
*Gwenpool: ...Hi!
Grim Reaper pops his scythe and slices into his car in an attempt to kill Gwenpool, though she manages to dodge out of the way. Reaper keeps swinging at her and she keeps dodging.
*Gwenpool: Um, could you please stop swinging at me, Mr. Reaper? I know I look like Deadpool but I don't actually have any of his powers so if you cut me then I won't be able to instantly heal!
Repear continues to slice.
*Gwenpool: Listen, pal, I know you're a supervillain and you've probably got some trust issues but I'm not here to hurt you or arrest you! You can trust me, guy!
Grim Reaper tries to slice her once again but Gwenpool jumps and lands on his scythe. She then grabs his scythe and kicks him, knocking him into a wall and ripping his scythe off. Reaper tries to get up but Gwenpool puts Reaper's scythe up to his neck.
*Gwenpool: Listen, I'm not a murderer so I really don't wanna hurt you! Just calm down and listen to me, goddamn it! I didn't even know you were in that car so why would I be here to arrest you!?
*Grim Reaper: Then what are you here for!?
*Gwenpool: Nothing! You think I wanted to go to your freakin' house!? I meant to get off your car a mile back but I forgot! Listen, I'm an up and coming superhero that nobody's willing to actually let become a superhero. I've tried over and over and nothing's working! I'm super stressed out and all I want is to just freakin'--
*Grim Reaper: Calm down, calm down! Don't work yourself up anymore! You already seem like you're about to cry and that'd make this even weirder than it already is! Just breath! Alright? Breath!
Gwenpool takes a few breaths before dropping Grim Reaper's scythe. He picks it up and tapes it back on to his arm.
*Grim Reaper: Yep, this is definitely gonna take a while to repair... you want coffee?
*Gwenpool: Tea, please... Little bit of lemon...
Sometime later, Gwenpool and Grim Reaper drink tea and coffee respectively.
*Grim Reaper: So, you wanna be a hero but everybody you visited said no. Is that right?
*Gwenpool: Mhmm.
*Grim Reaper: Hm... well, if the good guys won't accept you, maybe... just maybe... you'd work better as one of the bad guys?
*Gwenpool: Um...
*Grim Reaper: Well, I'm just saying. If you haven't noticed, he supervillains are pretty much willing to hire anybody as henchmen.
*Gwenpool: Oh yeah, you guys hire civilians, superpowered criminals... sometimes you guys also hire other supervillains, which never really turns out good.
*Grim Reaper: Don't critique the way my peers and I do our jobs. Like I was saying though, the superheroes don't accept you, right? Well, maybe you're just not looking in the right place. Maybe you need to be a supervillain. Right?
Gwenpool looks around the room with an unsure expression.
*Grim Reaper: Come on, a one day free trial of being a supervillain. If you don't like it, you can feel free to leave. What do you say?
*Gwenpool: ...Alright, but if I don't like it you better not call in your Hydra pals to try and beat me up or something.
*Grim Reaper: Great! Let's go!
Grim Reaper pulls a nearby lamp, revealing it to actually be a lever as the entire room begins lowering into a secret underground Hydra base.
*Gwenpool: What in the...?
*Grim Reaper: Hydra has a lot of bases. Most of them are hidden.
*Gwenpool: I... see...
When the room is done moving, Grim Reaper gets up and walks out of the room with Gwenpool, revealing a massive base full of Hydra goons. The pair walk amongst them while Reaper takes Gwenpool to meet someone.
*Grim Reaper: This particular base's leader is up in that small tower up there. He likes to look down on his agents.
*Gwenpool: Speaking of which, I've always wondered this, how come basically all Hydra agents wear the same outfits except for the important ones? Isn't it a little dumb to dress everybody up in the same outfit? Doesn't that just advertise the fact that you're a weird pseudo-Nazi to all of your enemies?
*Grim Reaper: What do you mean?
*Gwenpool: Well, I'm just saying, if you dress your agents up in regular clothes and have their defining feature be, like, a tattoo you all have or a password you all know then it'd be a lot harder to tell if you're a Hydra agent or not. You'd be able to get away with a lot more stuff.
*Grim Reaper: If you really think that then take it up with the Skull.
Gwenpool imagines Red Skull, whose face is shaded out, grinning.
*Gwenpool: ...Well, on the other hand, the suits do look kinda cool...
Gwenpool and Grim Reaper get into an elevator.
*Gwenpool: So, is the guy who runs this place an A-lister?
*Grim Reaper: A-lister?
*Gwenpool: Oh, right, nobody in the comics uses those terms... uh... is he "well known"?
*Grim Reaper: I mean... yeah, he's pretty well known.
The elevator doors open.
*Hydra Base Leader: What is it?
The base's leader is revealed to be the Hydra agent Kraken.
*Kraken: This better be important. I wasn't done feeling superior to my agents!
Gwenpool has no reaction to Kraken.
*Gwenpool: ...Who the eff is this guy?
*Kraken: You haven't heard? I am Kraken! I am a member of Hydra's High Council! I--
*Gwenpool: Yeah, sure, whatever. Hi, nice to meetcha! I'm Gwendolyn Poole, most people call me Gwenpool, and I'm here to volunteer as a Hydra agent! (also, if this doesn't work out, don't try to find me, I don't have a house or a family)
*Kraken: I, um... I see.
Kraken looks at Grim Reaper confused. Reaper shrugs.
*Gwenpool: So, do you guys have, like, an initiation trial or something? Or am I just a member now?
*Kraken: Well, that depends. Some Hydra High Council members have trials for their--
*Gwenpool: But does this one have a trial?
*Kraken: ...No.
*Gwenpool: Epic! So, you got any missions or something?
*Kraken: Well, you have yet to prove yourself to me. So--
Gwenpool steals a gun from a nearby Hydra agent and shoots the air a few times without looking.
*Kraken: What the hell!? Why'd you do that!?
*Gwenpool: Can your cameras do that thing where they, like, slow down footage?
*Kraken: Well, of course. Why...?
Kraken is then seen with his mouth agape watching slowed down footage of Gwenpool shooting the air, revealing she managed to shoot straight through flies hovering above her, blowing them apart. Kraken slowly turns to Gwenpool, who flashes him a double peace sign with a big grin.
*Kraken: ...Okay, I'll admit... I'm impressed...
*Gwenpool: So, when can I expect my first mission?
*Kraken: I'll give you a mission when one comes up.
Gwenpool pauses for a bit.
*Kraken: ...What's she doing? She just stopped talking.
*Grim Reaper: In the very few minutes that I've known her I've learned not to ask too many questions.
Gwenpool points at the door while smiling and a Hydra agent walks in.
*Hydra Agent: Kraken, sir! We've finally tracked down the reactor for the machine!
*Kraken: ...How did you know he'd walk in just now?
*Gwenpool: I didn't but I'm a comic book character so things just sorta work out for me.
*Kraken: Comic book character?
*Grim Reaper: Yeah, sure feels like that sometimes.
*Gwenpool: So, what's this mission about?
*Kraken: We're building a very important machine and it needs a battery. We're breaking into a S.H.I.E.L.D. base to steal a reactor from it.
*Gwenpool: What do you need the machine for?
*Kraken: That's classified.
*Gwenpool: What does the reactor look like?
*Kraken: You'll know it when you see it.
*Gwenpool: Who's going on this mission with me?
*Kraken: We'll see.
*Gwenpool: You're not going to give a direct answer to any of my questions, are you?
*Kraken: Nope.
*Gwenpool: Ha, Tricked you! you just gave me a direct answer! Alright, see ya!
Gwenpool runs out with the Hydra agent. Later, Gwenpool sits inside of an armored truck with several Hydra agents. She looks around at the agents beside her, who are all carrying guns, and a concerned look crosses her face. She gets up and walks to the driver of the truck.
*Gwenpool: Yo, guy?
*Truck Driver: Mm?
*Gwenpool: Are we gonna... have to kill anybody on this trip?
*Truck Driver: What do you mean?
*Gwenpool: Well, I assumed this mission would be more... stealthy but everybody on the truck's packing heat, so I'm just wondering whether I'll have to... you know, kill a guy.
*Truck Driver: We're soldiers at the end of the day, ma'am. And like any good soldier, we don't want to kill someone but we will if we have to.
*Gwenpool: ...Okay... Cool... cool cool cool cool cool...
Gwenpool sits in the seat next to the driver. She says nothing and stares off in stunned silence for a few seconds.
*Gwenpool: Is... is there any way to do this mission without killing somebody? Cause I honestly really don't want a death on my hands.
*Truck Driver: You're in charge of the mission. If you're a good enough leader then we won't need to do anything.
Gwenpool goes quiet again.
*Truck Driver: We're here.
Gwenpool and the Hydra agents get out of the truck, which has stopped just outside of a massive S.H.I.E.L.D. base. The agents all turn to Gwenpool, waiting for her orders.
*Gwenpool: Um... A-attack! But don't attack too much! Attack just enough to get the job done!
The Hydra agents rush into the base and Gwenpool follows shortly behind. A massive battle between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra agents ensues, though Gwenpool doesn't get involved in any of it and just rushes past them.
*Gwenpool: Excuse me! Pardon me! Sorry!
Gwenpool makes her way up a small flight of stairs and looks around.
*Gwenpool: Okay, where's that reactor...?
She peaks around a corner, revealing hundreds of rooms and thus hundreds of possibilities for where the reactor could be.
*Gwenpool: Crap... Alright superhero good luck, don't fail me now!
She takes a few steps forward and opens the door right next to her. She walks inside and spots a massive blue glowing container in the middle of the room.
*Gwenpool: Huh... Kraken was right, I would know it when I see it...
Gwen walks up to the container and attempts to grab it. However, before she can a hand grabs her arm. She looks up, revealing Falcon looking down at her.
*Falcon: Who the hell're you?! What're you doing here!?
*Gwenpool: Wha... what am I doing here? What are you doing here!? You're an Avenger, why're you in a S.H.I.E.L.D. base!?
Falcon pulls Gwenpool close to his face and gives her a stern look.
*Falcon: Because I'm also a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
*Gwenpool: You... you are...? I, um... guess that was never mentioned in the stories I read with you in them...
*Falcon: Do you have anything to do with this raid!?
*Gwenpool: I... um...
*Falcon: Pack your bags, you're going away for a long--
Falcon is shot in the face. He drops to the ground and a Hydra agent with a smoking gun walks up behind Gwenpool, who is staring at Falcon with wide eyes.
*Hydra Agent: ...Oh hey, you found the reactor! Good job!
*Gwenpool: Is, uh... is he gonna be okay?
*Hydra Agent: Probably. Resurrections seem to happen a lot with superheroes. Sometimes they're cloned back to life, other times they escape the afterlife, on rare occasion they--
Falcon gets up Undertaker-style while screaming. When he's back on his feet he turns to Gwenpool and the Hydra agent, revealing his wound is completely healed but his face is still covered in blood.
*Falcon: What the hell was that!?
*Hydra Agent: Ah, a perfect example of that rare resurrection. The one where they come back for no reason! Usually, it's villains who do that though. Weird...
*Gwenpool: Oh, right! This is a comedy story, we can't do any major status quo changes in it! Thank God, I thought I just saw a guy die forever!
*Falcon: What the hell are you going on about!?
Gwenpool doesn't answer Falcon and instead grabs the reactor beside her and starts running. Falcon chases after her, still clearly confused about what just happened.
*Gwenpool (narration): Alright, come on Gwen! You're currently being chased by one of the most well-trained superheroes in the Marvel universe but you can find a way out of this! Right? You're a fourth-wall breaker! Use that! Think of something, you idiot! Um... uh... mm... okay, okay! I've got it!
Gwenpool jumps from one panel into another one, jumping into Kraken's Hydra base. She holds up the reactor triumphantly in front of Kraken.
*Gwenpool: Got it!
Falcon stands in the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, his face still covered in blood. Someone calls him on his communicator.
*Captain America: Sam? It's Steve. We heard about the Hydra raid. Is it still going?
*Falcon: ...Um... no.
*Captain America: Good. Do you want to make a report on what happened?
*Falcon: ...No. No, I don't, actually. In fact, I'm never going to mention this day ever again and I'd appreciate it if you asked the other Avengers to not talk to me about this...
Back with Gwenpool, she hands the reactor to Kraken.
*Kraken: Excellent! With this, our interdimensional vortex device will finally be complete!
*Gwenpool: Inter... eh?
*Kraken: Follow me, girl.
Gwenpool follows Kraken, who leads her to a massive Stargate-like machine.
*Kraken: Behold! The Vortex! With this reactor, it'll be able to open a portal to the edge of the multiverse! The Edge!
*Gwenpool: The... Edge?
*Kraken: We don't know the actual name, but it's a ring surrounding the multiverse! We managed to receive a message from someone trapped inside of The Edge who claims that he could make us all gods if we helped him!
Kraken wraps his arm around Gwenpool.
*Kraken: And it's all thanks to you! Who says women aren't good for anything, right?
*Gwenpool: Uh... Excuse me?
Kraken tosses the reactor to a scientist who then places it inside of the machine. The machine then fires up, opening a massive purple portal.
*Kraken: Now, will you do us the honor of testing it?
A very concerned Gwenpool walks towards the vortex. She stands inches away from it and gazes at it with a mix of awe and horror on her face.
*Kraken: When the man at the Edge gives us the power we need we'll finally be able to fulfill all of Hydra's goals! Like eliminating the jews or the blacks!
*Gwenpool: Eliminating...? Wait, did you just call African-Americans "the blacks"? Are... are you guys nazis?
A giant tendril bursts out of the vortex and grabs Gwenpool, dragging her inside. On the other side of the vortex, she floats above a massive stone ring. Inside of the ring is a massive purple beam with TV screen-like displays of different parallel universes.
*Gwenpool: Whoa...
*???: I know. Overwhelming, isn't it?
*Gwenpool: Huh? Who's there? Who're you?
*???: I am.
*Gwenpool: Did you just quote God...?
*???: I was there when Marvel NEW was around. When it was created, it sealed me away.
*Gwenpool: So are you just going to talk at me instead of to me?
*???: Marvel NEW was responsible for my entrapment.
*Gwenpool: Guess so.
*???: I lived inside of Marvel NEW without anyone knowing. When it died, I thought it was finally my time to come. I could finally devour the multiverse like I was created to. I gathered my strength and then, the moment I finally had my power back... Marvel;Re was created. And I was trapped once again.
*Gwenpool: Eh?
*???: I was content waiting for Marvel;Re to die just like I did with Marvel NEW but it's not dying fast enough. I can already feel my strength fading once again. So I decided to burst into Marvel;Re and wipe out all of its characters. It'd be impossible to keep Marvel;Re alive if all of its characters were dead, right?
*Gwenpool: Who the hell are you?
*???: I thought that was obvious.
A giant Ego the Living Planet-like entity covered in vines, flower petals, and more appears in front of Gwenpool.
*???: I AM EGO! THE LIVING PLANT!
*Gwenpool: You... you're... what!? The most powerful entity in the Marvel;Re multiverse is a... demonic entity that's taken the form of a meme created by a spelling error!?
Ego the Living Plant smiles.
*Gwenpool: That's stupid!
*Ego the Living Plant: Think what you want, your opinion means nothing to me. Oh, and before I forget, thank you, Miss Poole! Without your superhero luck Hydra would've never been able to steal the reactor and I'd never be able to escape! I hope you have fun taking my place in the edge of the Multiverse!
Ego the Living Plant flies towards the vortex and Gwenpool more or less swims through the air, trying to stop him.
*Gwenpool (narration): Why... why is my heart pumping so fast...? I'm gritting my teeth in determination... my brain's overcome with the urge to beat him. What's happening to me...? Is this... oh my god, is this it?! This is it, isn't it?! This is my superhero moment! This is the moment I have my superhero epiphany! Hell yeah!
Gwenpool manages to make it in front of Ego the Living Plant, who opens his mouth in an attempt to swallow her. Gwenpool pulls out a gun and aims it down his throat.
*Gwenpool: Dead meme...
She fires her gun. It doesn't manage to kill Ego but the force from firing her bullet sends her flying forward through the vortex. On the other side, Ego's vine/tendril bursts from the vortex yet again but Gwenpool manages to close the portal by shooting at the reactor, shattering it. The portal closes and cuts off Ego's tendril, trapping him once again in the edge of the multiverse.
*Kraken: ...What the hell just happened?
*Gwenpool: You wouldn't get it... Oh, and also, I don't wanna join Hydra.
*Kraken: You don't?
*Gwenpool: Nah. You guys are nazis and I'm not really into that.
*Kraken: Well, if you ever change your mind we'll always have a door open for you.
*Gwenpool: ...Yeah, I don't think I'm ever gonna change my mind.
Gwenpool walks out of the building.
*Grim Reaper: ...Are we actually nazis?
*Kraken: Yes.
*Grim Reaper: Oh geez... No wonder I'm always put in prison without a trial.
Outside, Gwenpool walks down the side of the road. She takes her mask off and sighs, reflecting on the recent events of her life.
*Gwenpool: Welp, it wasn't a traditional superhero story but at least it taught me a good few lessons. I probably should still look for a new place to live, though... Or maybe I shouldn't. Maybe I could be the world's first homeless superhero. Or... world's first to my knowledge at the very least... Nah, I should definitely find an apartment or something. Hm... wonder if anything that happened in this story will be referenced in somebody else's story... Nah, probably not.
Gwenpool walks off into the moon rise. However, there is one final panel of Gwenpool talking to the reader.
*Gwenpool: Thanks for reading my story! Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as the writer did making it! It took a while to finally finish because the creator kept coming up with ideas for his other stories, but I think it turned out pretty good, personally. (Though I guess I'm biased cause I'm the main character, right?) See you next adventure, everybody! Keep being creative and have a good one!
