Brief Plot Summary
In issue #6, the Mercs for Money team undergoes a leadership shakeup as Domino steps up to command the chaotic mercenary squad. While Domino takes charge with her trademark cool and precision, Deadpool isn’t quite ready to step out of the spotlight—especially when it comes to their flashy, eccentric uniforms.

The comic balances explosive team missions with Deadpool’s irreverent antics, delivering a unique blend of action and comedy.

The revival of the “Rainbow Deadpool Squad” nods to Deadpool’s ever-evolving personality and his penchant for breaking the fourth wall.
Fan Theories or Interpretations
Fans speculate that Domino’s leadership hints at future shifts in Deadpool’s role—possibly stepping back from leading dangerous missions to a more strategic position. Some also interpret the Rainbow Deadpool Squad uniforms as a meta-commentary on Deadpool’s evolving identity and the comic’s self-aware humor. The contrast between Domino’s calm professionalism and Deadpool’s chaotic nature is often seen as a symbol of the team’s balance between order and madness.
Review Summary
