Thanks to the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, these characters have returned to their peak popularity. Which has players looking back throughout their history, leading to some unique findings.
In a recent Wolverine comic, a reference caught fans’ attention because it somehow featured a weapon from the Halo universe within the comic. The iconic weapon in this game appears briefly in the comic, but it’s clearly the assault rifle always seen in the game series.

Recently, in a Wolverine comic, comic enthusiasts found a reference to an Xbox franchise. One of the most well-known assault rifles from Halo made a quick appearance in one of the comic’s panels.
