How 'Deadpool Killer' Wade Wilson went from no face tattoos when he was arrested in 2019 to a head full of racist inkings including a Nazi Swastika -as expert reveals their meaning

As convicted double murderer Wade Wilson, dubbed the 'Deadpool Killer', appeared in court to be sentenced to death, he showed off his vast array of white supremacist tattoos that he did not have just five years ago. 

But while the now-30-year-old killer did have several tattoos across his neck and arms when he was arrested in 2019 after he slaughtered Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, his face was completely clear of markings. 

But as he silently smirked as he was sentenced to death for the women's deaths, the sickening tattoos, made up of swastikas, threats of violence and movie quotes, only added to the weight of his sinister crimes.  

His lawyer, Kevin Shirley, told Newsweek that Wilson 'created his appearance while in custody awaiting trial', despite tattooing being against prison policies in Florida. Shirley added: 'He has never expressed his reasons.'

Anti-Defamation League Research Fellow Christopher Magyarics told Newsweek that while none of the blatantly white supremacist tattoos could specifically tie him to any one gang, court evidence suggests that he got in with white supremacist prison gang The Unforgiven during his time in Lee County Jail in Fort Myers, Florida, where he was being held.

Several swastikas can be seen across his face and head. One was spotted under his right eye, while past pictures showed him with a large swastika tattooed on the right side of his scalp. 

As the symbol of Adolf Hitler's Nazi party, it has been one of the most 'significant and notorious hate symbols, anti-Semitism and white supremacy for most of the world', according to the ADL. 

Magyarics told the outlet: 'There is the number 14 on the right side of his neck for the white supremacist mantra known as the 14 words: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children".'

The mantra was coined by David Lane, an American white supremacist who died in prison in 2007, and is often followed by a secondary slogan which reads: 

'Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth.'

The 14 Words are seen as a reflection of the Great Replacement theory, a key tenet of many white supremacist ideologies, which wrongly claims that white people in the West are set to go 'extinct' in the face of a surge of ethnic minorities, in a plot that they claim is put forward by Jewish people. 

Magyarics added: 'He also has the number 88 on the left side of his neck which is the numeric code for the 8th letter of the alphabet, H, 2 times = HH for 'Heil Hitler". 

The 14 Words and the number 88 are often put together in a sick combination, which for adherents to white supremacy acts as a general endorsement of their racist ideals. 

The combination is so ubiquitous that many online will use them in online email addresses and social media usernames. According to the ADL, 'Some white supremacists will even price racist merchandise, such as t-shirts or compact discs, for $14.88.'

Several other tattoos can be seen across his face and neck that indicate a white supremacist stance.

One across his forehead that reads 'TTG' stands for either 'Time To Go' or 'Trained To Go', 'as in ready to fight', Magyarics said.

He also has the words 'Bred for war' underneath his chin, which again indicates his willingness to get violent, the expert added. 

Other tattoos, however, are less directly indicative of white supremacy but speak to his propensity for violence.

In the film, Ledger's next line after this is: '[My father] sticks the blade in my mouth and says "let's put a smile on what face".'

His tattooed face was stony as the judge told him he would die for his crimes. Others in the courtroom, however, cheered and clapped as the ruling was handed down.

'Bye Wade,' one woman said as he was escorted out of the court room by five police officers. 'Forever,' a man sitting next to her added, according to Newsweek. 

A jury voted in favor of the death penalty 9 - 3 in Melton's case and 10 - 2 in Ruiz's murder. Under Florida law, only eight out of 12 jurors need to recommend a death penalty for it to be considered by a judge. 

The jury found that the crimes involved aggravating factors, including that the crimes were especially heinous, atrocious or cruel, committed by a person convicted of another capital felony, involving the use of threat of violence to the person, and committed by a person previously convicted of another capital felony and under the sentence of imprisonment or placed on community control or on felony probation, the Independent reports.
