Hugh Jackman’sWolverinehas put on many costumes throughout his long live-action history, but some of them were more accurate to the comics than others. Before it was revealed that Wesley Snipes would appear as Blade inDeadpool & Wolverine,Jackman was the longest-running live-action superhero actor. The star has led a Wolverine movie trilogy, appeared in quite a fewX-Men films, and even joined theMarvel Cinematic Universefor one of theMCU’s best movies.
Jackman first played Wolverine in 2000’sX-Men, continuing to give life to Logan on the big screen to this day. While the actor has not been announced for any ofMarvel’s upcoming projects, many stars from Fox’s original X-Men franchise are back forAvengers: Doomsday, so he could make a surprise appearance there.The MCU has made Jackman wear most of his comic book-accurate costumes as Wolverine, and it could continue adding to the list, which includes these suits:
10Wolverine’s Tank Top Look
A Basic Costume That Has Become A Logan Trademark
WhileHugh Jackman’s Wolverine has worn many exciting suitsfrom the comics, not all of his costumes have been very creative or intricate. Still, just because a suit is simple, it does not mean that it can’t become iconic for Jackman’s version of the character, and that is why his tank top look makes the list.
Wolverine’s tank top look has been present in multiple movies, includingX-Men Origins: WolverineandLogan. Since it is a basic look, it ends up being one Logan has also been seen with many times in the comics, andit fits with the character’s personality. However, it ranks last due to its simplicity.
9Wolverine’s Leather Jacket And Jeans
Another Basic Costume That Fits Logan’s Personality
Like the tank tops Jackman’s Wolverine so liked to wear, the character also hada fondness for leather jackets in Fox’s X-Men and Wolverine movies. Again, the costume is too simple to be considered among the very best on the list, but it does feature an interesting connection to the comics.
Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine has inspired how Logan looks in certain comic book runs.
Wolverine’s leather jacket with yellow stripes was a way to pay homage to his classic costume from the comics. However, the look itself ended up being comic-accurate.2001’sNew X-Mencomics saw Wolverine don a leather jacket with yellow stripes, though it was black and not brown, and it made the movie look accurate to the comics.
8Wolverine’s X-Men Leather Suit
Hugh Jackman’s Classic Marvel Movie Costume
2000’sX-Mendecided to reinvent the team’s costumes. Instead of going for the colorful suits the X-Men had in the comics, Fox decided to match the heroes' look to that of The Matrix movies. That led toHugh Jackman’s Wolverine and the rest of the X-Men wearing black leather suitswith some accents.
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
It is undeniable that the costume isone of the most iconic in Jackman’s Wolverine history.Some connections can be drawn between the Wolverine costume and the one from Grant Morrison’s All-New X-Men run. Overall, the suit makes Logan imposing and cool, but it is not one of the most accurate to the comics.
7Wolverine’s Unused Yellow And Black Suit
The Suit That Hugh Jackman Should Have Put On
Deadpool & Wolverinemade history by being the first movie to feature Jackman’s Wolverine in his classic costume from the comics. However,Fox could have done so a long time ago, and came close to it. Jackman’s Wolverine donned a slew of different costumes in 2013’sThe Wolverine, but the best one was the suit he didn’t wear.
In a popularThe Wolverinedeleted scene,Jackman’s Marvel hero receives a yellow and black costume in a suitcase. It is a variation of his iconic comic book suit, complete with an accurate cowl. Sadly, he never got to wear it, which puts the suit below where it could have ranked.
6Wolverine’s Old Man Logan Suit
The First Of The Truly Comics Accurate Suits Worn By Jackman
Director James Mangold played witha version of the iconic Old Man Logan storyline from Marvel Comics inLogan. The movie featured Jackman as a grizzled version of the character, donning ordinary clothes instead of a suit. While that version of Logan does the same in the comics, his look is a bit different.
Well, I was happy to seeDeadpool & Wolverinego for an even more accurate representation of Old Man Logan. The movie featured many multiverse variants of the character, withJackman giving life to a comic book-accurate take on Old Man Logan, which saw him don an exciting costume that even included Old Man Logan’s fedora.
5Wolverine’s Age Of Apocalypse Suit
A Radical Difference From Wolverine’s Usual Look
One of the most interesting Wolverine variants inDeadpool & Wolverinewas the Logan wearing his Age of Apocalypse suit. He caught my attention due tohow different he looked from what Jackman is normally seen as when he is playing Wolverine. Marvel perfectly nailed the 1990s aesthetic for the suit and his world.
There are a lot of elements that Marvel Studios got right here. FromWolverine’s long, wild hairto the costume itself, with the red and black color scheme with no sleeves and the metal covering Wolverine’s missing hand. The only notable difference is the belt, which is red or yellow in the comics.
4Wolverine’s Weapon X Suit
Hugh Jackman’s Physique Gets The Spotlight
Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine had a main role in the younger X-Men timeline inX-Men: Days of Future Past. However, in the other films in the franchise, Logan either appeared in cameos or was absent.X-Men: Apocalypsefeatured Wolverine in an extended cameo sequence, bringing to life one of his best suits.
Logan has a dark origin story in Marvel Comics, being experimented on by the Weapon X program. The X-Men movie had Jackman appear as that version of the character.Wolverine’s Weapon X suit was comic book accurate, with his chest exposed, tattered shorts, and technological paraphernaliaall around him, making him look like a scientific experiment.
3Wolverine’s Patch Suit
A Unique Look For The Gruff Marvel Hero
Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine has mostly worn casual clothes through the years, with a few bona fide superhero suits sprinkled in there.Deadpool & Wolverinepresenteda Logan variant that dressed strikingly differently from Wolverine’s usual choices, and it was incredibly accurate to the comics. That was the “Patch” version of Wolverine.
In the comics,“Patch” is the alias Wolverine goes by when he is undercover or lying low in Madripoor. A white tuxedo and an eye patch make the Wolverine costume unique. Jackman’s MCU debut did a great job of adapting the suit to the big screen, as it looked simply pitch-perfect, making for a classy Wolverine variant.
2Wolverine’s Brown And Tan Suit
An Iconic Piece Of Comic Book History Put On The Big Screen
Designed by John Byrne, Wolverine’s brown and tan suit is one of the hero’s most iconic looks in Marvel Comics. I dare even say it is one of the best costumes any Marvel hero has worn. Sadly,Deadpool & Wolverinedid not have time to feature it more prominently, with the suit used for a brief sequence.
Still, it was enough to see Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine look fantastic in the classic brown and tan suit. The costume mostly looked like it does in the comics, featuring shoulder guards and other elements.The only item that was missing was Wolverine’s cowl, which could have helped it rank in first place.
1Wolverine’s Yellow And Blue Suit
Marvel Studios Succeeded With Wolverine’s Most Beloved Costume
Finally,the best suit and the most comic book-accurate one that Hugh Jackman has wornis the yellow and blue X-Men suit he donned inDeadpool & Wolverine. It only took the MCU one movie to use Wolverine’s most beloved suit. When I saw Jackman in costume for the first time, I knew the wait was worth it.
The actor started with a Wolverine suit that had sleeves and no cowl.
Deadpool & Wolverinehad a few variations of the costume. The actor started with a Wolverine suit that had sleeves and no cowl. Then, we got the yellow and blue Wolverine suit without sleeves before getting the comic book-accurate cowl to make the look whole. It was perfect, becoming the bestWolverinesuit Jackman has worn so far.
Wolverine
The human mutant Wolverine (a.k.a. Logan) was born James Howlett, blessed with a superhuman healing factor, senses, and physiology. Subjecting himself to experimentation to augment his skeleton and claws with adamantium, Logan is as deadly as he is reckless, impulsive, and short-tempered. Making him the X-Men’s wildest and deadliest member, and one of Marvel Comics' biggest stars. He’s played in Fox and Marvel’s movie franchises by Hugh Jackman.
