Weapon X has never looked so fierce! The Wolverine designer toy by artist Jesse Hernandez is the next evolution in superhero style, fusing Adamantium strength with Aztec-inspired artistry.
Artist Statement: It was epic getting to mash up one of my favorite Marvel characters with Aztec and Mayan influences. Wolverine was re-imagined as “Wolvie Muerto” a Day of the Dead style Luchador. Masked up and ready to rumble.
