New images of the 'Deadpool killer' have emerged following his imprisonment on death row.
Wade Wilson - who's nickname is in reference to him sharing the same name as the titular character in the Marvel series - was found guilty of murdering two women, Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz, in 2019.
Wilson strangled Melton, 35, to death in her Cape Coral home and stole her car before kidnapping Ruiz, 43, who asked him for directions.

He then invited Ruiz into the vehicle before strangling her and throwing her out of the car, running her over repeatedly.
“I choked her out until she couldn’t breathe anymore,” Wilson told police. “I came across my mind to murder, just kill, kill, kill.”
In court, 10 out of the 12 jurors voted for Wilson to receive the death penalty and he's now been imprisoned in the Florida Department of Corrections.
From 2023 to 2024, the New York Post reports that a tablet was previously given to Wilson in his Lee County jail.

During that time, he took a series of selfies on the device, which have been shared by vlogger Melissa Jade on YouTube, which, according to The Daily Mail, was obtained via a Freedom of Information request.
The outlet reports that the prison-issued tablet takes a photo every time the inmate uses it.
In one of the images shared by the YouTuber, it shows Wilson with a thick bandage wrapped around his forehead, with a lot longer hair.
Another photo shows the inmate missing some teeth and appearing bloated.

Now, as things stand, Wilson is waiting for his appeals process to reach its conclusion as the Florida Department of Corrections states that an average death row inmate spends on 13.22 years incarcerated there.
In court, Florida County's Circuit Judge Nicholas R Thompson called Wilson's crimes 'heinous, atrocious and cruel', adding that 'the second murder was cold, calculated and premeditated'.
Wilson also appeared to show no emotion when he was being sentenced, however, Dr John Paul Garrison has suggested that his 'casual' and nonchalant reaction was an indicator that the killer was feeling 'a lot of anxiety and stress'.
Following his sentencing, his legal team stood up to repeat Wilson's final request to the judge.

Wilson's lawyer explained: "I understand he has other cases pending here and elsewhere... but Mr Wilson asked me to ask the court within whatever authority you have to get him to death row as soon as possible."
The cases being referred to by his lawyer related to an unrelated attempted escape from jail, which the judge said could only be heard on 16 September at the earliest.
