Wolverine’s Default Character Design Is So Weird That Fans Are Convinced It Was Made To Ensure Skin Sales Post Launch

As Marvel Rivals gears up for its official release on December 6th, the anticipation and excitement among the community are palpable. While the beta test gave a good preview of its various mechanics and a diverse set of Marvel Heroes, one hero in particular has raised some concerns in the community: Wolverine.

After seeing the default design of the character, players have been discussing how strange and out of place the character looks in his current form. This speculation has led to a wave of theories and concerns, leaving many wondering if this was all part of a larger strategy to drive post-launch skin sales.

Players Don’t Like the Current Design of Wolverine in Marvel Rivals

For decades, Wolverine has been one of the most iconic superheroes in the Marvel Universe. Even if we look past the claws, he is recognizable by his distinct costume and signature look (best embodied by Hugh Jackman). His classic yellow suit, his rugged old-school tank top and blue jeans combo, and even his beard are iconic.

However, in Marvel Rivals, none of that is present. Instead, his default design feels surprisingly generic and very bland, making him lack the edge the character usually has. After seeing the design, fans are not happy and have taken to social media platforms to show their discontent.

While discussing the details of the character’s design and especially his clothing choices, fans are speculating that his default appearance might have been intentionally kept bland and unremarkable.

They believe these decisions are made in order to set the stage for the eventual release of iconic skins (post-launch), like his classic yellow suit, his tank top and jeans combo, and perhaps even his other looks from various comic books and movies (****** body suit from X-Men Movies).

post about the character’s design have been fairly mixed. While fans are excited about the game’s release, they can’t help feeling a little concerned about this apparent “cash-grab” strategy.

The frustration stems from the fact that Wolverine is a beloved character and has not one but various beloved character designs and costumes, so the current design in the game feels like a deliberate step away from what fans expect.

Fans Are Excited But a Side of Frustration

Despite the frustrations of the fans with Wolverine’s design, they are still incredibly excited for the game’s official release on 6th December. The game is looking at a good release, with various Marvel characters, exciting combat mechanics, and the promise of thrilling online battles.

Players are also hoping that the developers will either tweak the character’s appearance to bring him closer to his iconic self or offer an explanation that reassures (share some lore about where they adapted the design from) fans the current design isn’t just a ploy to make them buy future skins.

Whether or not the fans’ latest concern about character design will end up being just another case of internet overreaction ******** to be seen, but it has certainly added an intriguing element in the lead-up to the game’s release.

In the end, it’s still not clear if it’s just a temporary design choice or a calculated move to maximize revenue, fans will be keeping a close eye on how various character’s iconic looks are handled in the months ahead.
