While some people are fans of movies, others seem turn their admiration to real-life murderers.
Wade Wilson, from Florida, found infamy after he murdered Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, on separate occasions in 2019.
The murderer was given the nickname the 'Deadpool Killer', as by a strange coincidence he shares his name with the alter ego of the Marvel character.
In a chilling police interview after the killings, Wilson reportedly told officers that he would 'do it again'.

The killer sports multiple tattoos on his face, including a swastika underneath his right eye, and has received love letters from thousands of women around the world.
Aged 25 at the time, Wilson carried out both of the brutal murders in a single day and would go on to be convicted of two counts of first-degree murder in June 2024.
Where is the 'Deadpool killer' now?
Well, after his conviction, a Florida judge handed him two separate death sentences, one for each of the murders.
Now, Wilson is said to be residing on death row in the Union Correctional Institution, where he will spend the rest of his life if his appeals against the death sentences do not succeed.
According to People, the inmate is held under strict conditions, with the majority of his time spent in his cell and having limited contact with the external world.
Bizarrely, he has received thousands of letters of admiration from women, as well as money to support his appeals process.
Part of this went towards paying for a suit for him to wear to court.
Some admirers of Wilson have even had his name tattooed on themselves.
The outpouring of support for Wilson was met with disgust from state attorney Amira Fox, who works on the 20th Judicial Circuit of Florida.
Fox said: "It has not gone unnoticed that this defendant has been is being idolized by some people who are somehow proud to mix their name with his through public comments, fundraising for him or holding him up to be some sort of positive representation of a man, ignoring that he is nothing more than a vicious killer and about the most poor representation of a man there could ever be."
She added: "He murdered a woman in her own home who did nothing to harm him, Kristine Melton, as she simply slept in her bed, murdered another woman, Diane Ruiz, who was simply walking to work.
"Both these women physically suffered tremendously due to his decision to kill and due to his horrible actions."
Such is the attention that Wilson has received that a documentary has even been made about him, exploring what it is about the double murderer which has captivated people so much.
Handsome Devil: Charming Killer was released on Paramount+ on January 20.
