Dragon Ball and Marvel Comics are home to what seems like an infinite amount of overpowered heroes and villains that fans can’t get enough of, with a new crossover cosplay turning the X-Men’s Wolverine into a member of the Saiyan race in an armor redesign that merges these two popular fictional worlds into one!

Recently shared on social media via Instagram by @mike_dd3d, this creative talent specializes in making comic-accurate 3D printed designs ranging from full bodysuits to sweet accessory gear to spot-on wearable helmets that have served @mike_dd3d’s passion for cosplaying well.

Dressing in Tony Stark’s all-white Superior Iron Man suit, the Spider-Man and Iron Man collab known as the Iron Spider, a futuristic Batman Beyond look, and even an impressive and wholly unique Batman: Black and White costume, @mike_dd3d excels when challenging himself to create something never before seen in the cosplay community, with this Wolverine x Dragon Ball design perfectly fitting that bill.

Wolverine Gets A Saiyan Makeover in New Marvel x Dragon Ball Cosplay

From being battle-hardened warriors who only get stronger the more they fight to having numerous overpowered and omega-leveled heroes and villains populating their ranks to taking on increasingly more menacing and deadly foes one after another, Dragon Ball’s Saiyan race and the fan-favorite mutants of the X-Men share more similarities than fans might have initially thought. And now, with Wolverine finally being inducted into the Saiyan’s ranks thanks to the professional artistry of @mike_dd3d, Goku can test his strength against Wolverine in a 1v1 battle for all to see!

Using a set of Saiyan armor as a base for this cosplay, it’s made immediately apparent that @mike_dd3d knows what he’s doing when it comes to making the jump to the live-action space, as the dimensions, colors, fit, and all-around manga-accurate design of this Saiyan-exclusive armor impresses on more levels than one. Coincidentally sharing the same yellow and blue color scheme as the armor he already wears, @mike_dd3d completes his Dragon Ball x Marvel costume by donning Logan’s iconic Wolverine helmet and adamantium -laced claws. Bringing this design full circle, @mike_dd3d adds two silver gauntlets for easy snikt-ing action and a set of all-white eyes that put a stylish, comic book-like exclamation point on a design that needs more attention as the idea of bringing to life a mutant Saiyan hybrid with pointy claws and a penchant for calling people “Bub” is a sound one.

Unfortunately, these franchises will probably never collide in an official capacity anytime soon, leaving fans to settle for seeing this mash-up in unique pieces of crossover fanart or inspired cosplay designs while wondering what other Marvel heroes would find success crossing over into Goku’s dimension. Wolverine becoming a part of the Dragon Ball universe is something fans need to take note of, showing that as long as talented cosplayers like @mike_dd3d are around, impossible nerd designs like this one are not only capable of being made on a professional level but are already a reality fans can appreciate.
