Evolution of Wolverine: Every Costume Logan's ever worn in almost 40 years (1974 – 2013)

The Wolverine movie starring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is coming out and it has been almost 40 years since Wolverine first appeared in the Marvel comics. HalloweenCostumes.com has produced this visual guide to the evolution of Wolverine's celebrated costume! I love infographics and even more so when it's about something I can relate to. Halloween Costumes had previously produced a Hall of Armor: The Evolution of Iron Man Info-graphic which I had posted on my toy blog HERE

So this is just a nice continuation of the same subject / topic. Click on the pictures below for a bigger and better view :)

This guy has answered to many names over the years, so it is only fitting that he has a similarly high number of costume incarnations, right? (Seriously though: Weapon X, Patch, James Howlett, Logan, Death...the list goes on!) 'Marvel' at the style journey of this infamous member of the X-Men as it moves from whiskered, to fanged, to spandex, to leather, to no shirt at all! (Bad boys don't have time for shirts.) Scroll down to see all the different costumes.
