Ever since, Marvel andFortnitehave often collaborated to bring new skins and outfits, limited-time modes, andeven entire battle passesto the hands of fans.
The best Marvel collabs inFortnitearen’t just the skins that appear in the Item Shop, but the strong history that veterans might remember from years prior.Fortniteand Marvel work so well together, and a list of Limited Time Modes, weapons toshake up the Battle Royale loot pool, and Marvel skins help to prove just whyFortniteremains on top.
5Nexus War
Chapter 2 Season 4’s First Marvel Season
As collabs became more common acrossFortnite, none could expect that an entire Battle Pass would be dedicated to some of Marvel’s best characters. The Chapter 2 Season 4 Battle Pass sawthe Nexus War come to theFortniteBattle Royale island, and with it, some true icons entered the game for the first time. The Nexus War was the first time players could own skins like Wolverine, Iron Man, Doctor Doom, She-Hulk, Groot, Thor, Mystique, and Storm.
The Nexus War didn’t just have an incredible Battle Pass still used by veterans to this day, but it also had one of the best live events out there. Players were tasked with teaming up with the Avengers and driving Iron Man-created Battle Buses into Galactus before he could eat the Zero Point. It was a real fun time to be a Marvel fan inFortnite.
4Deadpool, the Secret Skin
Chapter 2 Season 2’s First Marvel Secret Skin
Some players might have been a tad underwhelmed with previous Marvel skins, in which there was a mash-up betweenFortnite’s characters and Marvel aesthetics. Luckily, Chapter 2 Season 2 was here to save the day by having none other than the Merc with a Mouth ripped straight from the fourth-wall-breaking comics into the lockers of those who unlocked him during this season’s Battle Pass.
Deadpool holds the title for the true OG, the first actual Marvel character to debut inFortnite. Deadpool was a really fun part of Chapter 2 Season 2 and proved thepotential for Marvel characters in the game. It’s just a shame he’s now forever locked behind a Battle Pass from 4 years ago.
3Endgame (LTM)
The Avengers vs the Chitauri
To promoteAvengers: Endgamehitting theaters in 2019 and becoming thehighest-grossing comic book movieever,Fortniteonce again teamed with Marvel to bring forth icons of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Endgame Limited Time Mode saw two teams battle against each other, where the Avengers must eliminate 150 Chitauri players, all while the Chitauri must gather the Infinity Stones to disable the Avengers from respawning and summon Thanos to become the inevitable.
This was an LTM that was a lot of fun, as the Avengers hadaccess to some iconic weaponsfrom the MCU, like Thor’s Stormbreaker, Captain America’s Shield, the Iron Man Repulsors, and Hawkeye’s Bow. These weapons were incredibly fun to use around the Battle Royale island against the Chitauri, who had access to jetpacks and Laser Rifles to make for a balanced experience fun for both sides.
2Spider-Man and the Web-Shooters
Swing Around the Battle Royale Map as Spider-Man
Movement items can be a tad annoying for games likeFortniteBattle Royale, in which players have the perfect exit if they dare get shot once. Yet, there’s something immensely fun about the mobility items of Chapter 3 Season 1, where players could use Spider-Man’s Web-Shooters to thwip away, swinging from buildings and trees whilst doing flips with exaggerated swagger.
Joining the Web-Shooters was none other than Spider-Man himself, who debuted on the Battle Royale island to those who unlocked him through Chapter 3 Season 1’s Battle Pass. It was agreat time to be a Spider-Man fan, and both the skin and the Web-Shooters were immensely fun to see.
1Infinity Gauntlet (LTM)
Conquer the Battle Royale Island as Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet
The first Marvel collab is its most iconic, as to promote the blockbuster Marvel Studios filmAvengers: Infinity Warin 2018, Marvel collaborated with Epic Games to bring Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet toFortnitefor a Limited Time Mode which saw a meteor drop into the Battle Royale map. Landing on the map was the Infinity Gauntlet itself, and those who equipped it were transformed into Thanos to return to the island andlay waste to every Looperon it.
Those who became Thanos would have the ultimate power, and a Victory Royale was easy to work thanks to powerful punches, beams from the Power Stone, destructive super jumps, and regenerating health and shield from eliminations. Becoming Thanos in Battle Royale was a true power trip and one that is sorely missed.
