Marvel’s Wolverine: Explaining the Origins of the PS5 Game’s Suits
We break down every costume confirmed to appear in Marvel's Wolverine and how Insomniac's new game draws on decades of X-Men lore.
Marvel's Wolverine introduces a variety of costumes for players to choose from as they navigate through the Marvel Universe. The game's designers have drawn inspiration from classic Marvel Comics storylines, X-Men cartoons, and movies, while also incorporating some original designs. One such costume is the Battle Reborn suit, which pays homage to Wolverine's classic yellow and blue Tiger Stripe and Astonishing costumes, while adding a rugged and functional overhaul.
Another notable costume is the Ablation Armor, inspired by Logan's suit from the 2013 Wolverine comic, where his healing factor was compromised. The Age of Apocalypse alternate reality introduced a dystopian era where Wolverine sports a red and blue costume and is missing his left hand, which has been retained in the game. The Astonishing X-Men storyline brought back the spandex look for Wolverine, and the game includes a recreation of this iconic design.
Additionally, the game features a Brown Costume, which is Logan's most iconic look, introduced in 1980's Uncanny X-Men #139.
