Summary
AFortniteplayer recently discovered a special interaction between Marvel characters T’Challa (aka the Black Panther) and his sister Shuri.Fortnitegives players a wide variety of character skins to choose from, and some of them can even trigger interactions with NPCs or other players. For example, equipping the Ascendant Midas skin fromFortnite’s Greek-centric Chapter 5 Season 2 can lead to unique dialogue with characters like Jules and Meowscles, with one exchange even revealing that Midas is Jules’s father.
More recently,Fortnitehas shifted its focus from gods to superheroes for Chapter 5 Season 4, which is centered around the dreaded Marvel villain Doctor Doom attempting to conquer the Island with the help of nefarious foes like Mysterio and Emma Frost.Fortnite’s ongoing Absolute Doom eventis filled with Marvel references, from locations pulled from the comics to grizzly Easter eggs detailing the many heroes who have already fallen to Doom and his forces.
Black Panther is one of the remainingFortnitecharacters taking a stand against Doctor Doom’s tyranny, and it seems like he can share a tender moment with his sister Shuri between battles. Reddit user AStealthyPerson noticed this and shared a screenshot of the interaction betweentheFortniteversion of Black Pantherand Shuri on r/FortNiteBR, with Shuri telling her brother how good it is to see him while giving the iconic “Wakanda Forever” salute. While Black Panther is shown from behind in the screenshot, AStealthyPerson noted in a comment that they are performing the emote back, which granted the “Emotional Intelligence” Accolade.
T’Challa and Shuri Share a Special Fortnite Interaction
Throughout the comment section of the related Reddit post, otherFortniteplayers are finding the special interaction between Black Panther and Shuri sweet, and are curious to see what other ones can be discovered usingcertainFortnitecharacter skins. Some even hope that they could be added to boss characters in the future, with possible ideas being a tense confrontation between Spider-Man and Mysterio or an exchange between Cyclops and Emma Frost.
The newly-discoveredFortniteinteraction between Black Panther and Shuri has also struck an emotional chord with some MCU fans due to the death of T’Challa inBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever(itself a result of the real-life passing of actor Chadwick Boseman), as it at least allows brother and sister to share the screen one more time. Despite this, the Black Panther will live on inat least two upcoming Marvel games, and is ready to lend his Vibranium claws to the fight to freeFortnite’s Island from the clutches of Doctor Doom.
