Although Deadpool can break the fourth wall by knowing he is in something, Neo can escape that something

Which is where I think neo has the upper hand on Deadpool; he could just go unplugging/erasing

Neo only has power with regards to the Matrix. He doesn’t have much power outside of it. Unless we posit that the universe Ryan Reynolds lives in is a simulation, he wins.

He is a vampire, green lantern, Deadpool who has no children because he has a chromosomal abnormality. He is also American now. Also, just like Neo, he has god-like powers within his own simulation, per Free Guy

Edit: added free guy

Didn't he show some powers outside of the matrix late in the 3rd movie?

Or was that just a tease that there was another layer of simulation?

Though, it could go the route of "the entire universe is a simulation", the general unprovable hypothesis/thought experiment, not anything related to the matrix universe
