Deadpool & Wolverine Xbox controllers are extremely hands-on

Comic book superheroes and their live-action counterparts have always put impressive physiques front-and-center… but never has the objectification of superheroes been so literal as in the latest promotional Xbox controllers.

For the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine threequel, Microsoft will let fans get their hands on the goods, so to speak. With unique designs inspired by the costumes and, um, assets of the two co-leads, these controllers take “ergonomics” to a new level.

The rear panels have been custom molded to evoke the bodacious booties of Deadpool and Wolverine, going so far as to match the textures and seams of their figure-hugging suits. Microsoft’s promotional material says that they’ve both been “designed by Deadpool,” which tracks.

The controllers are brash, stupid, functionally questionable, and perfectly on-brand for the Deadpool movies. Considering how many anime waifus I’ve seen on PC parts, up to and including mousepads that I wouldn’t recommend Googling at work, I’d say that portraying the enviable behinds of male heroes in sculpted plastic form is long overdue. A DC-flavored Nightwing variant can’t be far behind, pun absolutely intended.

Sadly, if you want to get your hands on these curvaceous controllers, you’ll have to be almost as lucky as a superhero’s significant other. According to the Xbox Wire post showing them off, they’ll only be available via an upcoming sweepstakes run by Microsoft on Instagram. The hashtag is #MicrosoftCheekySweepstakes and it’s responsibly limited to gamers who are 18 and older.

Something tells me Etsy sellers are warming up their 3D printers as you read these words, preparing to sell customized controllers to those who can’t find this XXX-rated version of a Wonka Golden Ticket.
