Ask yourself: What could possibly be better than your very own real-life
Batman-inspired leather motorcycle suit? Well now, that would have to depend on your particular comic book leanings, wouldn't it? If your affections lie away from DC and more towards Marvel, we have some particularly excellent news to share. Soon, you'll be able to pick up a functional motorcycle riding suit made up to look like either Wolverine or Iron Man. Oh, and a
Tron Legacy suit is also reportedly in the works.
If your desire is to dress yourself up as the adamantium-soaked Wolverine, you can head right on over to
Universal Designs to order your brand-new officially licensed riding suit, based on the actual movie suit used in the
X2: X-Men United. Sadly, go-go-gadget knuckle-mounted claws not included.
If you can't quite pull off Wolverine's dual-horned head of hair, no worries. UD reassures us that it's hard at work on a licensed replica of Tony Stark's Mark V Suitcase Suit that will be seen in Marvel's upcoming
Iron Man 2, which will be released in the U.S. on May 7.
In case you were wondering, there's actual safety built into these riding suits as well. According to UD, each suit "incorporates removable CE-approved body armor [and] gloves with built-in anti-skid Kevlar in the palm's leather lining." Finally, if you don't quite have a personal physique that matches your Comic hero of choice, you'll find solace in the news that there's "an interior, form-molded muscle suit sandwiched into the jacket's torso section." Hit the jump for the press release, and click on the image to enlarge.
