Everything from Star Wars and Indiana Jones to Dragon Ball Z and Jujutsu Kaisen have received their own Fortnite skins and items. However, one comic book juggernaut has been particularly notable for its Fortnite collaborations.
Marvel has been one of the largest contributors to Fortnite's wealth of crossover content, featuring several of the comic book company's biggest characters. Beloved characters like Spider-Man, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and Dr. Strange have been among the characters to see skins added to the game.

The pickaxe was originally added in April 2019 as part of an Avengers crossover coinciding with the launch of Avengers: Endgame.
