What's the Big Deal About Wolverine's Yellow Suit?
You've probably seen Wolverine rockin' his iconic yellow and blue suit in the comics, but did you know the movie Deadpool & Wolverine changes everything about why he wears it? It's a pretty cool (and sad) twist!
The OG Wolverine Comic Suit
- Way back in the comics, Wolverine, AKA Logan, was saved from the crazy Weapon X project where he got his adamantium claws. He met the Hudsons from Department H, Canada's superhero squad. They decided he was pretty cool and put him in a shiny, eye-catching yellow and blue suit to make him look extra official! The Hudsons wanted him to stand out as a superhero!
- Logan tried on a bunch of different Wolverine superhero outfits over the years. He wore a super cool brown and tan version for a while, too, which fans still love! But that yellow and blue number remains the king!
Why Did Wolverine Change into a Yellow Costume?
- In Deadpool & Wolverine, it's completely different! This time, his Wolverine X-Men friends tell him he needs a more epic suit! They design it for him because they think it'll look really awesome, especially for a big strong guy like Logan. But then they all, unfortunately, pass away...and that's where things get emotional.
- Logan ends up wearing that bright Yellow Costume to remember all his fallen friends, making the suit super symbolic. It adds so much weight to the story!
- It's interesting that Wolverine becomes such a powerful hero even after all his sadness and struggles, thanks in part to this big Yellow Costume he dons.
- And don't forget that Ryan Reynolds does a perfect job referencing the fact that everyone's been waiting FOREVER to see Wolverine in a Yellow Costume in live action.
This is such a cool little change from the original comic. I'm super glad they went with this tragic yet touching storyline! It adds some awesome depth to Wolverine's whole deal!
