He fights people with guns with a weapon that fires *slower* than guns. He thinks he's a liberal crusader when he's really a condescending jerk (see: any time he talks to Black Canary, espeacially when he calls her "pretty bird"). Worst of all, he walks around like he's the world's greatest super-hero. He can't see just how hard he sucks!

The evidence bears out this conclusion. A quick search through your site yields remarkably little on the character and none of it positive. Your few comments on Deadpool are not satire, snarky, critical, or insiteful. Your comments on Deadpool aren't even interesting. The subtext is your disbelief in his popularity. Why would you hate Deadpool? He is a Spiderman rip-off. Deadpool is Spiderman with ninja swords and pistols instead of webshooters. And you think you are the only one who can see that or the character wouldn't be so popular. Sir, you hate Deadpool more than you had Spiderman. The evidence bears out this conclusion.

Because as much as Spiderman whines about his life, he does have some real issues. Is he dealing with them well? Maybe not, but there are some. Rick Jones, though? Rick Jones walked into it all, so his whining is completely unjustifiable. That test site he snuck into that ended up making the Hulk? He went in on a dare to play the fucking harmonica. If Bruce Banner hadn't been turned into the Hulk, he would have been INCINERATED. Good job, Jones! Then he sticks around with the Avengers when the Hulk leaves, because it's easier than trying to find someone who can jump a mile, and attaches himself to Captain America like a lost puppy. "Hey, Cap, check me out in this trauma-causing outfit! Do I resemble your dead sidekick any?" Then he puts on some alien jewelry and starts bitching about the fact that Captain Marvel wants to spend time saving lives, instead of letting Rick try to pick up women and play terrible, terrible folk music. Yes, your guitar licks that you stole from Bob Dylan are surely the higher priority, Jones. But more important than that is the essence of Rick Jones. He is the hanger-on. The guy who is nothing alone, and thus tries to latch onto anything he can. That and dumb luck are the only reasons he's still alive. He is not somehow a cool guy with one writer, and an annoying one with another. He is, fundamentally, the person you barely tolerate in your group, and you're not even sure why you do that much. It doesn't matter how old he gets, how skilled he gets, or how much he tries to act like he's his own person. A super hero rolls by, and he's trying to attach himself to them like a leech. Rick Jones should die. Rick Jones.
