Marvel Rivals: Wolverine's New Skin has Sparked a Debate on the Game Being Sexist
Ever since Marvel Rivals came out, the game has been branded as 'gooner bait' for the sexualization of several characters; but on the flip side, some fans argue that both men and women are equally sexualized in the game, so it's all fair. However, the recent release of Wolverine's Weapon X skin seems to have proven that men get more of a pass when it comes to being objectified. First, let's check out the reveal: 🆕 Wolverine: Weapon X Coming to the #MarvelRivals in-game store on Thursday at 10 PM EDT. — Miller Ross (@mmmmmmmmiller) June 2, 2025 Immediately, a lot of fans are outraged that the skin would have Wolverine wearing long shorts. Anyone who knows their X-Men history knows that this look often has Wolverine in trunks or completely naked. Even the Fox movies knew they had to show as much skin as they could: Admittedly, they did give Weapon X shorts in X-Men: Apocalypse , but everyone agrees that was a bad movie. Already the reveal of the Weapon X skin is getting spammed with complaints about Logan wearing pants and not being fully naked. I mean, I get why they can't make him naked, but they could have at least settled with trunks. Invisible Woman and Emma Frost have skins that are as revealing as they can get. Meanwhile this is the Weapon X in other media… Rivals truly isn't beating the misogynist/Gooner allegations with this one… — Kendra Targaryen (@UncannyKendra) June 2, 2025 Seeing how conservative NetEase is (when it comes to men), it's possible that they wouldn't be 'fixing' this anytime soon. Either way, it does seem like some fans are pleased with the look, and that's all you really need. Marvel Rivals is now available for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. The Weapon X skin comes to the store on June 6.
