Ryan Reynolds has tweeted out the first look at newcomer Brianna Hildebrand as the mutant called Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
In the comics, she was created by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. She was introduced during the “E for Extinction” story arc. She was a part of Emma Frost’s class for psychics on Genosha, and died during the storyline’s wild Sentinel assault on the island nation of mutants. She has psychic powers and got her interesting name from the Monster Magnet song.
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
Deadpool slices into theaters February 12, 2016.
