Deadpool killer Wade Wilson complained about being ‘pushed to the edge’ in prison as two fellow death-row inmates – including his former cellmate – have continuously threatened his life behind bars.
The 30-year-old double murderer, sentenced to death for the brutal 2019 killings of Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, has a devoted fanbase fervently trying to save him.
Known as the ‘Deadpool Killer’ because he shares a name with the Marvel character, Wilson embarked on his hours-long crime spree in Cape Coral ‘just for the thrill of killing.’
His supporters – some of whom have called themselves the ‘Wade Wilson Wives’ – write him letters and advocate his innocence despite having never met the killer.
On Wednesday it emerged that Wilson had complained to one of these women, who runs an online community in support of him, about how unsafe he feels behind bars.
‘Threats… coupled with isolation, has driven him to the brink,’ she wrote.
The woman issued an urgent plea to correctional facilities, naming two other inmates – Daniel Craven and Peter Avsenew – as direct threats to Wilson’s safety.
Craven is on death row after he murdered his cell mate with the intention of starting a race riot in prison. He repeatedly stabbed the man with a makeshift shank.

Craven was already serving a life sentence for the murder of his lover’s husband, handcuffing him and drowning him in a dog bowl.
And Avsenew was convicted of a brutal 2010 double murder in which he beat two men beyond recognition and shot them several times, before sealing their car and credit cards and going on a shopping spree.
According to prison documentation seen by DailyMail.com, a review of the duo’s conduct was completed and authorities determined there was ‘no confirmed threat’ which would require Wilson to receive additional protection inside the prison.
The woman who raised the initial complaint argued in her response to the prison that ‘the systemic issues of violence and the dismissal of inmates’ complaints have plagued Florida’s correctional facilities for decades.
‘We are witnessing how the system deliberately allows inmates to be eliminated by the hands of others, creating conditions where survival is nearly impossible.’
Wilson’s terror behind bars comes shortly after revelations of his lengthy disciplinary record since arriving on death row.
According to a 163-page disciplinary report, Wilson has repeatedly broken prison rules to wind up in confinement, barred from visitors and access to the outside world.
He allegedly tried to smuggle out an autographed, handmade drawing to a woman he referred to only as ‘Sweet Cheeks’, with instructions to auction it off to the highest bidder.
‘Due to my fame and the rarity of my signed work, this should sell quick and rake in the $,’ he wrote.

Pictures of ‘Deadpool Killer’ Wade Wilson reveal he has had a dramatic transformation behind bars as he languishes on death row
DailyMail.com previously revealed Wilson was being held in ‘disciplinary confinement’ inside Union Correctional Institution after he was transferred from Lee County.
As per his disciplinary confinement, he’s currently not eligible for regular guests or visitation rights.
This has also been a point of contention among his loyal followers, who have bombarded the prison with complaints he is being treated unfairly.
These women have turned the other cheek to the gruesome manner in which he carried out his crimes.
Wilson’s crime spree began on the afternoon of October 6, 2019, when he met Melton at a live music bar and went home with her.
Wilson strangled her to death inside her home in Cape Coral the next day, where her body was found.
The same day, Ruiz was reported missing after she was seen being asked for directions by Wilson while on her walk to work.
He was driving a car he stole from Melton’s home after he murdered her, which Ruiz got into before she was also strangled to death.

Wilson ran Diane Ruiz over ‘until she looked like spaghetti.’ Her body was found three days later in a field behind a Sam’s Club
The killer was arrested on October 8 2019
In testimony from Wilson’s father, it was said that he went on to ‘run her over until she looked like spaghetti.’ Ruiz’s body was found three days later in a field behind a Sam’s Club.
Wilson was also convicted of a number of charges, including the battery of his ex-girlfriend Melissa Montanez, 41, the burglary and theft of two homes, and the grand theft auto of Melton’s car.
Even still, Wilson’s swooning fanbase wrote desperate letters to the judge in his case pleading for his freedom, and have stood by him even through the recent release of unflattering jailhouse photos which prove his appearance is a far cry from before his arrest.
A trove of photos taken from the killer’s Lee County jail approved tablet show Wilson is missing teeth and has gained weight in custody.
The pictures were taken on his tablet, which snaps a picture every time it is accessed to ensure it is only being used by the inmate approved to use it.
In one of the photos, Wilson’s jaw appears to be out of alignment as he displays his missing and cracked teeth.
And in another he wears what appears to be a bandage around his head, with a white bandana in a separate photo.
The pictures, which were taken between 2023 and late 2024, show Wilson in a disheveled state and from unflattering angles, documenting a range of hairstyles, from a shaved head to longer curly locks.
