Marvel just revealed Wolverine’s brand new Iron Man-like armor

The final chapters of Sabretooth War are incoming, and they’re giving Wolverine a brand new costume in the form of the Adamantium Armor.

Wolverine’s had a number of costumes and looks over the years, but there is one look that’s pretty unusual: armor.

Wolverine’s healing factor and adamantium skeleton mean he’s a tank, for better or for worse. He usually just takes a hit and shrugs it off, opting to keep trucking forward.

That’s why it definitely stands out when Marvel makes a big announcement, like the full debut of an all-new, Iron Man-like Battle Armor for Wolverine revealed in the latest collection of X-Men solicitations.

Wolverine gets new Adamantium Armor to win Sabretooth War

Revealed in the solicits for May’s Wolverine #49, Logan will be getting a brand new Adamantium Armor.

The suit, a gift from fellow X-Man Forge, is designed to help close the gap in his upcoming final battle with Sabretooth.

Armor up for the penultimate part of ‘Sabretooth War!’ Wolverine is powerless—but not defenseless. Forge made Logan one last invention, and with the lives of the X-Men and all mutants on the line, it’s time to unleash the ultimate weapon! COLLECTORS’ NOTE: Featuring the full debut of the Adamantium Armor!

It’s not the first time Wolverine has donned a suit of armor, though it is an uncommon site. He infamously wore the Ablative Armor when his healing factor was removed, but beyond that, most suits of armor for Logan are designed to sell toys or only worn for alternate-universe affairs.

Wolverine will get the armor for the penultimate chapter in Sabretooth War, a storyline meant to mark 50 years of Wolverine. Marvel advertised it as the bloodiest story yet, and so far, it’s lived up to that.

Wolverine himself has been through the wringer in the story, having to chop off his own hands and feet. It still wasn’t enough to save his son, Dakken, from being killed or to prevent Sabretooth and his army from kidnapping his clone, X-23.

Wolverine #49 and #50 both go on sale May 2024.
