The last person that readers would expect to be able to give a lecture to the living legend, Deadpool. However, this is exactly what happened, and Wade Wilson was able to call out Cap's hypocrisy as no one else did before.
In the run-up to the Secret Empire event, Deadpool is asked by the evil duplicate of Steve Rogers created by the Red Skull Deadpool's adoration for Captain America that made his life terrible (again).
Faced with Deadpool's frustration, Steve refuses to take any blame. He believes Wade shouldn't have followed the orders of "Stevil," because that's not something that real Cap would ever ask. Deadpool answers that assassination is a common occurrence when someone is working for top government agencies such as SHIELD. In fact, that's what he, Wade, has always been used for. He is a disposable tool to point at problems when other so-called heroes don't want to get their hands dirty. Captain America, despite his sanctimonious attitude, did exactly the same when he asked Deadpool to the Avengers Unity Division. Wolverine was dead and Cap needed a substitute, another "obedient torpedo." Steve's answer to these accusations makes his hypocrisy stand out even more. He says that Wade is "better and happier" when he is a soldier, working inside a regimented system, and he was only trying to give structure to Deadpool's chaotic world.
Captain America's words reveal a complete inability to empathize and relate with someone else's perspective. It is true that Captain America preyed on Deadpool's adoration and respect for him, and on the allure of being an Avenger, just as much as Hydra Cap did.
Steve's hypocrisy is exposed when Wade argues that if Black Widow had killed Coulson on what she thought were Cap's orders, she'd get a - a point Cap doesn't have an answer to, replying that he doesn't want to deal in hypotheticals. Deadpool exposed Captain America's inherent hypocrisy by making a pretty inarguable case that Steve enlisted him to be a killer, something he does in most of his Avengers rosters, and is now punishing him for being one.
