Episode 5: Wade Wilson: The Deadpool Killer

In episode five of The Astrology of the Underworld Podcast, Coco and Chris cover Wade Wilson, also known online as the “Deadpool killer.” Born May 20, 1994 (Sun in Taurus), Wade Wilson was convicted of the murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz in Cape Coral, Florida on October 7, 2019, and was sentenced to death in 2024. We walk through the timeline of the crimes, the attempted attack on his girlfriend, the call to his biological father where he confessed, and the arrest that followed. This episode also looks at the unsettling fanbase phenomenon: how his looks, charm, and performative persona have attracted a wave of supporters sending him money, gifts, and attention even after conviction. We discuss the psychological pull of the “outlaw” archetype and why people project redemption onto men who have shown none. Astrology-wise, we don’t have an exact birth time, but Coco guesstimates a Gemini rising to explore the “charming monster with two faces,” placing Mercury and Venus in Gemini in the 1st house as a signature of persuasion, dual presentation, and magnetism. We also talk about the bigger patterning in the chart: the Sun at 29° Taurus, the Moon and Chiron in Virgo themes, the Pluto polarity, and the Uranus-Neptune conjunction in Capricorn, especially as it relates to chaos, drugs, and harm. We also wrestle with the moral tension of Wade’s history of multiple childhood concussions and what that might mean for impulse control, responsibility, and accountability. Content warning: graphic violence, domestic violence, sexual violence references, and death. Next episode: Brian Laundrie.
