Destiny 2 Deadpool and Wolverine Costumes Bring Mutants to the Destiny Universe
Deadpool’s usual body-hugging suit comes across more like medieval armor thanks to the use of theFortniteKnightly Noire Helm(colored red by the Charred Plumage shader), the metallic Augmented Auspice Ornament for the Synthoceps Exotic arms (reddened by the Carminica shader), and theWitcherKaer Morhen Plate chest and the Photosuede Greaves legs colored with the Redjacked Shader. Deadpool’s pouch-covered utility belt is replicated by the Thunderhead Mark class item. The heavily armed and armored appearance is also augmented by the presence of visible “eyes” on the helm, allowing the character a level of expressiveness uncommon to typicalDestinyTitan outfits, and appropriate for Deadpool and his outspoken personality.
The Wolverine costume uses the Adamantine Rebirth ornament for the popular Loreley Splendor Exotic helm, colored blue-and-yellow with the Cargulo Bristle shader. The Lion’s Might Gauntlets colored by Cargulo Bristle place attractive stripes on the character’s arms, drawing attention and resembling some past Wolverine costumes. TheMass EffectN7 Plate (with Solar Shrapnel shader) and the N7 Greaves (with the Dawning Welcome shader), allow a uniform yellow aesthetic that enhances the rest of the costume and evokes the “superhero spandex” look. The Pathfinder’s Mark (colored by Dawning Welcome) provides a low-profile class item that doesn’t offset the rest of the costume.
Fans were quick to praise the Deadpool and Wolverine costumes. One commenter even called them “the best versions yet,” owing to the multiple times players have attempted torecreate characters like Wolverine inDestiny 2. One thanked iixVanquishxX for using a Titan to create the Wolverine costume, as the Strand Titan super is particularly suitable for players wanting to roleplay as Wolverine.
