Marvel Comics' Deadpool started out as sort of a pastiche of DC's Deathstroke the Terminator. Although Deadpool still retains both eyes, the two characters' costumes are similar, as are their names (Deathstroke is Slade Wilson and Deadpool is Wade Wilson), and professions (mercenary/assassin).
Although Deadpool has evolved into a different character personality and storywise, both companies continue to make references of the characters' similarities as inside jokes, including Deadpool using his medium-awareness to comment on it, as well as Deathstroke's Earth-3 counterpart being very similar to Deadpool in terms of personality and powers.
