Clever Destiny 2 Fan Turns Their Warlock Into X-Men's Wolverine

An inventive Destiny 2 player has created a custom character costume based on the look of iconic X-Men member Wolverine. The player used the custom parts and armor available to a Destiny 2 Warlock Guardian to approximate Wolverine's appearance.

The creativity of players using the customization options available to them in Destiny 2 is well-known.

ToadSmoothie created a video featuring their team participating in the Crota's End Raid using customized character builds themed after members of the X-Men, and though their Warlock, Duck, eventually used a Nightcrawler-based build, they briefly showed off the Wolverine costume that could have been.

The Wolverine character costume combines a series of shaders to match the character's color blocking, but the key item is the Hawk's Fury hood, which features a pair of wing-shaped protrusions that closely match the shape of Wolverine's mask. The Shadow Broker robes from the Destiny 2 Mass Effect crossover costumes bulks out the character's silhouette, while the Forbidden Visage boots from Beyond Light add the telltale flares seen on the tops of Wolverine's footwear. The character is also made «combat-ready» thanks to equipping a pair of exotic gloves: the Claws of Ahamkara, sporting the Beast Whisperer ornament.

Commenters praised the costume, paying particular attention to the color scheme, which
