This armored suit pays homage to Hugh Jackman's latest appearance as Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine. Wolverine usually isn't seen in armor, considering his super-healing powers! This armored version though, has the classic yellow and blue scheme but incorporates an awesome armored look, like a battle-damaged superhero.

The attention to detail is simply incredible! It even pays homage to other Wolverine looks. Like his all adamantium armor and some truly interesting items he wore!

The pictures, taken by Aarica Brittany (@_aaricabrittanyphotography_), show off every angle of this phenomenal costume. You get to see the textured fabric, those battle scars and everything that looks just like it jumped right off the screen. There’s one image with those awesome adamantium claws ready for action.
