DEADPOOL co-writer Paul Wernick revealed to The Playlist some interesting information about what it took for 20th Century Fox to make a full-overhaul on Brianna Hildebrand’s Negasonic Teenage Warhead character.
“We were looking down the list of the 400 [‘X-Men’] characters that Fox owns, and NTW jumped out and we were like, ‘yes,’” said Wernick. “‘I don’t care what her powers are. She’s gonna be in the movie.”
In the comics, Negasonic (real name Ellie Phimister) is a gothic pre-cog with telepathy, but in the film, Wernick and Rhett Reese wanted to change a lot about the character, from her visual representation to her power-set. This required Fox to make a deal with Marvel.
“Kurt Russell [‘s Ego the Living Planet] in the new ‘Guardians [of the Galaxy Vol. 2]’ movie was the character that Fox swapped with Marvel to [change] Negasonic Teenage Warhead powers,” he explained.

It shows a stark one dimensional lack of creativity that they felt it necessary to change her powers. Her powers never fit her name they were never supposed to fit her name & it shows a much greater range in creative nomenclature. How boring would it be if every hero just fit their name? The fact they looked at her name & their eyes just lit up with visions of pandering titsplosions is pathetic childish & boorish.
