10 Best Alternate Marvel Superhero Costumes From Old Man Logan, Ranked

Wolverine is one of Marvel’s most popular and well-known characters, starring in many critically acclaimed stories, including “Old Man Logan” by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven. This story presents a future where Red Skull unites villains to defeat the heroes in a surprising attack. This leads to a world where villains rule the United States. “Old Man Logan” established this new setting, which has been expanded upon in sequels like Old Man Hawkeye, Old Man Quill, and Avengers of the Wastelands. This alternate Marvel Universe features a drastically changed landscape and very different versions of its heroes.

Costumes play a huge role in what makes Marvel stories so popular, and the world of the Wastelands is no exception. We’ve seen some incredible costume designs that really highlight how drastically things have changed in this universe. Here are ten of the best superhero costumes from Old Man Logan’s world, showcasing just how different it is.

10) Old Man Quill

Star-Lord became incredibly popular thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Marvel Comics tried to replicate that success in their comic books. While they didn’t fully achieve that goal – Star-Lord has largely returned to being a lesser-known character – this period did produce some interesting stories, most notably Old Man Quill. This storyline followed Star-Lord’s adventures after he became stranded on Earth. His outfit in this era was simple – a trench coat, chest armor, pants, and a mask – but it perfectly reflected the bleakness of his situation. It was a fittingly subtle design, hinting at a more glorious past.

9) Emma Frost

Emma Frost is famous not only for her bravery as a superhero, but also for her incredible sense of style. She’s particularly known for her striking white outfits, and one of her most memorable looks comes from the “Old Man Logan” storyline. In that future, she marries Black Bolt as the mutant population dwindles. While not her most revealing costume, it suits her perfectly. The full-body design cleverly reflects her use of telepathy to maintain a youthful appearance, making for a compelling narrative choice. It’s a regal look that perfectly embodies the character of Emma Frost, a queen in every sense of the word.

8) Ant-Man

A memorable scene in “Old Man Logan” features Logan and Hawkeye passing the giant skeleton of Hank Pym in Pym Falls, a reminder of his death. Though Pym was gone, the Ant-Man legacy continued. They later encounter Dwight Barrett, who utilizes Pym’s technology. Barrett is recruited by Dani Cage to join her new Avengers team and, with Forge’s help, creates a sanctuary for others, ultimately becoming Ant-Man. His costume is perfectly suited for the harsh Wastelands environment, boasting an armored design that feels true to the character’s history, while the helmet and color scheme maintain a connection to previous Ant-Men. It’s a fantastic update to a mantle known for its iconic looks.

7) Black Widow

Black Widow is a master of survival, honed by years as a spy during the Cold War. Given her background, she’s perfectly suited to handle the challenges of the post-apocalyptic Wastelands, and she arrived looking great. Her outfit wasn’t a huge departure from her usual style: a sleek black bodysuit with the signature red hourglass symbol. The addition of a shawl – or perhaps a robe, though I picture a shawl worn by older women – added a touch of color and made it one of her most striking looks.

6) Ultron-8

As a huge cinema fan, I always love seeing unexpected takes on classic villains, and the version of Ultron we got in “Old Man Logan” really surprised me. Forget the world-ending threats – this Ultron, designated Ultron-8, was actually one of the good ones! He ended up living a quiet life in Hammer Falls with Tonya Barton, Hawkeye’s ex, and together they raised their daughter, Ashley. Can you imagine? He was working as a mechanic, wearing normal clothes – a total departure from the genocidal robot we know. Honestly, he seemed like the most well-adjusted person in that whole post-apocalyptic wasteland, and he always looked great doing it!

5) Ashley Barton

Ashley Barton, the granddaughter of Spider-Man and daughter of Hawkeye, grew up in Hammer Falls and deeply resented the Kingpin’s oppressive control over the area. Inspired by her grandfather, she took on the mantle of Spider-Woman to fight back. After ultimately defeating and replacing the Kingpin, Ashley found herself drawn into a larger multiversal conflict known as the Totem War by the Superior Spider-Man. Her Spider-Woman suit is based on the classic Spider-Man design, but with feminine touches and unique modifications to make it her own.

4) Rocket Racoon

Rocket Raccoon wasn’t featured in the Wastelands comics themselves, but he did appear on the Old Man Quill podcast. We got a glimpse of his new costume in ads for the podcast, and it looks great! He has the rugged, weathered appearance common to Wastelands characters, and a cool, high-tech cane to aid his movement. It’s clearly a Rocket costume, and the futuristic design really suits him. Hopefully, we’ll see the costume in action someday.

3) Dani Cage/Thor

Dani Cage, the daughter of heroes Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, grew up to become a major figure in the post-apocalyptic Wastelands. She lived a relatively quiet life until Logan (Wolverine) entrusted her with the care of Bruce Jr., the Hulk’s son, before embarking on a dangerous journey. Logan later returned to the Wastelands, seeking a place to die, and Dani ultimately saved everyone by wielding Mjolnir at Hammer Falls, earning the mantle of Thor. Her Thor costume is a stylish update of the classic design, with a few extra details to make it really stand out – it’s considered one of the best looks in the entire universe.

2) Old Man Hawkeye

Hawkeye is famous for his great outfits, and his look in the Wastelands is no exception. It’s not a typical costume—more like everyday clothes—but he still looks incredibly cool. The best costumes tell a story, and Clint’s appearance in “Old Man Logan” perfectly reflects the harsh world he inhabits—a place where flashy displays of heroism aren’t tolerated, and the brighter days of Marvel’s past are long gone. It’s understated, but remarkably effective.

1) Old Man Logan

Old Man Logan is a popular and compelling take on the Wolverine character, and his outfit is iconic within the desolate world he inhabits. It became a defining image for that setting and is remembered as a classic design. After a tragic event, Logan abandoned his usual costume and adopted the simple clothing of a farmer, giving him a rugged, cowboy-like appearance that perfectly suited the Western tone of the story. Even when he briefly appeared in the main Marvel universe, he continued to wear this distinctive style, highlighting his contrast with the traditional Wolverine. It’s a fantastic and memorable look that truly defines this version of Logan.
