My first time seeing Wolverine was his Secret Wars action figure in the 80s. I bought it even though I didn't know a thing about him, but with his costume having darker, more muted colors to it made him look more bad ass to me. plus it reflects his character better than the blue and yellow
Jim Lee wanted it, IIRC. I wish I could find it but Byrne told a story that Jim Lee came up to him and said that he put Wolverine back in the real costume or original costume or whatever, and it got awkward because Byrne was the one who designed the brown costume.
>Wolverine returned to the yellow and blue long before Quesada came on the scene. When I followed Chris as writer on UNCANNY, one of the first things Jim Lee so proudly announced to me was that he was putting Wolverine back in his "real" costume. Apparently he was unaware of who it was who had made the change in the first place.
>(Or perhaps he thought I'd been "forced" to change Logan's suit. There is so much myth-making behind the scenes!)
I know the is a Cinemaphilentrarian take but Wolverine is like one of the few comic characters where it makes more sense for him to not wear a costume.
The only characters where it makes sense to wear a costume are the one's who get power from it, or the one's for who it's an actual uniform. But that's irrelevant, all supers should wear costumes because it's cool.
Came Anon, in which universe is a flamboyant multicolored bright colored costume with odd accessories and odd spikes the most practical way to cover your identity?
Storm never wore anything that covered her face and hardly ever wore a costume that matched the other X-men (talking uniforms and what not as justification)
It's fashion statement at best, maybe a joke, or terrible taste at worst.

Simple: people are so used to seeing someone larger than life that they'll never guess that the normal person next door is actually that superhero.
>People could never imagine that their next door neighbour could ever be one of the thousands upon thousands of people with superpowers that live in that world >Except when they totally do in those comics in which they persecute some mutant or another.
Storm's is nobody's neighbour either, she lived in the School at that time, but the point is that the costume is not for saving their identity and your comet doesn't actually help that argument.
Costumes are just a meta thing for looking "cool" and for tradition; IRL nobody would dress like that, nor could dress like that because it doesn't work as in a drawing. We just need to accept it and move on, but pretending it really is functional is taking it a step too far.

IRL nobody has the powers of a storm goddess who can fly and shit lightning as she pleases, so who gives a frick.
I like this costume, but I also like the torso-stripes from the blue suit. I say, combine them. fill out the titty windows a little, make the shoulders a little bigger (but rightly leave the armpits open), separate them from the main torso color (leave the quadriceps in dark brown, but change the primary torso color to a slightly lighter brown like the boots)
then add in the blue suit's stripes in that dark brown.
Why does he have sideboob windows?
Because you're a homosexual.
Because capeshit is for homosexuals
Ventilation.
Not hairy enough

what's holding down those shoulder parts
Pure sexual energy
I never understood why Marvel went back to the bright yellow and blue costume in the early 90s. The 80s brown suit was perfect.

Lee is a dumbass. Just look at the state of DC.

True but it helps him stand out and makes a target to draw away the fire from anyone. Especially when on the X-Men or Avengers.

superheroes wear brightly colored costumes to alert predators that they are poisonous and not good to eat.
Not even for secret identities?

is ti weird that Sabertooth was wearing the same costume? Except with more fur?
No because “Muh ying and yang”
I think it is weird how Wolverine has the same mask as Hawkeye, Batroc, and Birdman. And the same hair as Beast, Feral, Wolsbane, Owl, and Starfox.
I chuckled

>ucanny
ucanny make a mistake like that!!
>arrow pointing to his junk
I hate it OP it's appealing to the female gaze
This is the ideal Wolverine
How he bend him arms wht retracted claws?
They turn liquid like inside his body
OMG THAT FIXES EVEYRTHING
Wolverine should be permanently dressed like a total weeb.
he likes it there because he feels tall
What is the in-universe explanation/origin to Wolverine's costume anyway?
he became a wrestler to make money, similar to spider-man. except he spent a lot more of it on beer.
Department X/Alpha Flight Uniform.
Canada's government wanted superheroes
Plus they Michigan Wolverine fans so they stole his color scheme
I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
Jim Lee did the design better for Wolverine
