Marvel Comic 's Deadpool might have the sarky quips and heroic violence down to a tee, but there's a new kid on the superhero block spreading some Welsh love - Daipool.

The friendly superhero, who we believe hails from Newport originally, has been featured on popular comedy website, Funny Or Die, and answers questions about his modus operandi and how he got his superpowers.

Unlike Deadpool, who has accelerated healing powers after a rogue experiment goes wrong, Daipool is a bit secretive about his creation.

He said: "I'm not sure how much I can delve into that, but I used to play rugby in Wales and I used to work in steelworks."

He also reveals that he "doesn't have a Lois Lane at the moment," but it seems that the people in LA have taking to his mood-altering cwtches.

Come back to Wales Online for more on Daipool as we get it.
