Spider-Man: Aww, look at this scene. It's like I'm watching Two and a half men with Lassie instead of Jake. You dudes still aren't funnier than me though.

Spidey is like the forefather of these two. Only Replace Spider Sense with Guns, Swords and Forth Wall Breaking.
...wait, what? That's like saying Hulk is based off Wolverine, except replace the adamantium claws with green rage. I don't get how you can say that, since you don't provide any evidence that proves or even suggests that Deadpool and Dante were designed off of Spidey.

HAHAHA--no. Spidey's basically "Prepubescent Schoolboy gets bitten by a radioactive bug, and gets superpowers all of a sudden." Dante has always been a badass half-demon who fucks people up just by busting a few holes in their asses, and slicing them up like a pack of uncut swiss cheese. Deadpool is, basically, a little mixture of several different heroes(and villains). He's got an imperfect healing factor, extensive martial arts training, teleportation powers, and he's insane enough to actually be more sane than the rest of the Marvel Roster. I mean, he actually KNOWS he's in comics, games, and movies. He may just have some kind of "super-sanity" that the world doesn't know or care about. He'd be like the Joker from DC, in that regard.
According to Marvel, Deadpool's age is actually older than the Webhead, and Deadpool was actually kind of based on DC's "DeathStroke". Or Slade, for you Teen Titan cartoon fans. However, it's a bit of a trademark of Marvel's to have characters that like to talk shit, hence the existence of wise-crackers like Iceman, The Human Torch, Deadpool, Spiderman... And even The Thing used to crack a little witty insult in after kicking ass.
So remember! Just because a badass superhero fucks someone up, and TELLS them they just fucked them up, it doesn't mean that somewhere in the creators of said superhero's head, Spiderman was jerking off in the "idea" portion of their brain. It just means the hero knows they're badass, and they just fucked some bitch up. Thank you. e u e
Spider-Man: *Sniff* What do they got that I haven't got? Also the recipie for any unoriginal action hero. Just add douche, guns, swords and stir one liners until the mix is made into a super badass wannabe.
Dante is like spidey in accordance to fucking bitching about everything going wrong.
Other than that, nothing in common.
You don't even need to try with Deadpool even his creator said Deadpool was meant to be the anti Spidey.
Deadpool and Spiderman because Deadpool is the counterpoint to Spiderman. He is what would have happened to Peter without the loved ones and positive influences he had in life. They both are men who experienced great loss in life, but Spiderman had help to deal with it, while Deadpool didn't. So, while with Spidey, we have a sarcastic joking hero with a strict moral compass that uses humor to keep himself sane, Deadpool is a sarcastic joking antihero who has succumb to insanity and has little to no moral compass. Think of Deadpool as a twisted version of Peter. Similar costumes, similar attitudes, just tragically warped. Deadpool even had an twisted Aunt May figure(Blind Al), a Mary Jane(Siryn), a clone/identity crisis(Agent X), and other things similar to Spiderman, just warped.
And this picture illustrates how much they relate as concepts.
Dante talks shit and plays around because he views life as a party and slays demons for a living, but was made tragic in the process and has shut himself off in the outside world in shop that he lives in alone.
Deadpool acts like a psycho comedian and kills people for shits and giggles, but has lead a lonely and miserable life and gave his normal life up and apperence for a life of killing.
Spidey acts like a goofball, is light hearted, cracks jokes and acts like king of the world due to his Spider-Man powers also is a professional hero, but is entitled to serve his purpose due to losing his loved ones and hanging in there in life struggling to save people and protect everyone all the while making sure he keeps his civilian life in check.
All of them are pretty similar, but Spidey is the influencial wisecracking cocky superhero trope before any of them.

Seconded, especially since 9 times out of 10 the person making the claim or rebuttal is wearing their bias on their sleeve without substance. We've already exhausted every possible notion of originality ages ago; we can only build upon existing ideas in a hopefully interesting and innovative way.
Like it or not, Dante's withstood the test of time if the Ninja Theory reboot debacle is any indicator of that.

Well not everything..... Huh? What do you mean theres already a dating sim based around dis-abled girls, well there goes my idea.
Rumor has it that Deadpool became popular because he was basically a black-humor version of Spiderman, who was angsting back then. (kind of like OMD)
The costume is directly based on Spiderman too, especially the idea to use a design that would cover the face. The artist who drew Deadpool first said that people who drew Spiderman would always brag about how much easier it was to draw him, because they didn't have to draw a human face. So he drew Deadpool with the same design.
Also, in Deadpool's first appearance (somewhere in New Mutants, I think) he uses a technological WEB to disable one of the mutants.
He's a walking shoutout to Spiderman and Deathstroke. Now, if only his comic series weren't going downhill...
Yep. Ironically, Dante's creator doesn't let him smoke, because it says it makes him cooler. I guess Ninja Theory just doesn't care about making a cool Dante.
