Here's how to unlock Deadpool in 'LEGO Marvel Super Heroes'.
While many of the characters in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes can be unlocked via normal progression or even using cheat codes, Deadpool is one of two secret characters who can only be unlocked via a special method and cannot be accessed in any other way.
Players must collect 11 Red Bricks scattered throughout the game in order to unlock him as a playable character. According to outlets like GameZone, there are actually 15 Red Bricks, but four of them are available at the start of the game.
But obtaining them is no easy task. Many of them are locked behind special challenges and story content that you'll have to take care of first in order to properly collect them. You'll have to progress through much of the main story to even access those challenges. Luckily, the game makes it worth your while with a special reward for each brick obtained.
Here are the locations for each Red Brick used to unlock Deadpool.
