Ellie’s Deadpool Outfit Keeps the Classics but Makes It Her Own
What’s remarkable about the ultimate design for Ellie’s take on Deadpool, shared in a more detailed final design byTaurin Clarke on X, is how much it pays homage to her father’s run as the character.She still maintains a lot of what has made his suit one of the most iconic in Marvel history.From the mask with emotive eyes to the bright red spandex, it’s almost like she put on her father’s suit to take his place following his upcoming death. However,it’s the little touches she makes that put it up there as one of the most unique designs for the character.
For starters, the red hood overtaking the mask is a nice switch-up for the character. It calls back to her mutant costume design where she donned a red hood over a black mask. On top of this, the brown coat adds a nice change in color to make her stand out in the crowd, which will make for nice visual flair during action sequences. Plus, with various blades at her disposal, she’s clearly as ready as her father was to take on crime with her own weapons of choice to rivalDeadpool’s iconic katanas.
