Never-before-seen pictures of ‘Deadpool Killer’ Wade Wilson reveal he has had a dramatic transformation behind bars as he languishes on death row.
The 30-year-old slaughtered two Florida women during an hours-long crime spree in October 2019 in Cape Coral.
Dubbed the ‘Deadpool Killer’ as he shares a name with the Marvel character, Wilson was sentenced to death for killing Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, simply ‘for the sake of killing.’
He amassed a loyal and swooning fanbase among women who even wrote desperate letters to the judge in his case pleading for his freedom.
But jailhouse photos recently released to blogger Melissa Jade under a Freedom of Information request show Wilson’s appearance has shockingly changed during his time behind bars.
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.

Wilson strangled Kristine Melton to death inside her home in Cape Coral, Florida after meeting her at a live music bar
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.
DailyMail.com can reveal Wilson is currently 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.
It is understood he’s received at least 10 violations behind bars.
His appearance is a far cry from the look he displayed in court which initially attracted so many women, despite the gruesome crimes he was on trial for.
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.

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
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.
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.
Wilson added a number of tattoos since he was arrested, and his face includes several Swastika’s, menacing Joker-like mouth tattoos, and a neck tattoo reading: ‘Bred for war.’
A woman asked the judge to ‘impose a lighter sentence that reflects the possibility of recovery and rehabilitation’ (pictured: Wilson in court on June 3)
Wilson told his father gory details of how he killed the two women, including how he choked Melton after she fell asleep.
And yet, that never deterred the host of women who wanted to see the good in Wilson because of his appearance.
One woman from Canada told the judge she’s noticed that Wilson looks ‘healthier’ in prison.
‘If you look past his tattoos to his face structure since being in prison and medicated he is healthier, his face is fuller compared to his booking picture where his face is gaunt, pale and he looks unhealthy,’ the mother-of-two said.
A woman also asked the judge to ‘impose a lighter sentence that reflects the possibility of recovery and rehabilitation.’
