A Fortnite fan has an incredible idea to bring back the Marvel skins with a Silver Age of comics twist. Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 introduced a Marvel-themed Battle Pass, but this player has an idea to bring the skins back in a unique way.
Each season of Fortnite includes a Battle Pass that features its own cosmetics that are separate from the Item Shop offerings. Because these Battle Pass skins aren't added to the Item Shop, many new fans regret missing earlier seasons with Battle Pass skins that they desire. With how popular Marvel movies and shows are, one key Battle Pass in this conversation is the Marvel-themed Chapter 2 Season 4. One gamer has an idea for releasing these skins again, but with a retro touch that will feel familiar to long-time comic book readers.
Reddit user DaimaoOfTheGreen recently shared three images highlighting their idea for retro Marvel Fortnite skins. The concept includes Battle Pass skins like Dr. Doom, Deadpool, Iron Man, and Wolverine, as well as Item Shop cosmetics like Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, and Thanos. Spider-Man also makes an appearance, and although the main version of the character was in a Battle Pass, alternate looks occasionally cycle through the Item Shop. Taking it one step further, the Reddit user has also included Loki, which was a Fortnite Crew exclusive skin in 2021.
These Marvel skins feature an aesthetic akin to the Silver Age of Marvel comics which began in 1956 and concluded in 1970. While this look may be considered old by a chunk of the community, a lot of Marvel merchandise continues to focus on this era. DaimaoOfTheGreen noted that the unique concept was inspired by the inability to acquire many of these cosmetics today and the release of the Invincible skins. This idea may be possible given that Fortnite OG added variants of classic skins that were locked to Chapter 1 Battle Passes. Instead of locking these Silver Age skins to one season, they could be listed in the Item Shop to become available to all players.
DaimaoOfTheGreen's idea could be an ideal middle ground for players who already have these skins and ones who have lamented missing out on prior Battle Passes. As Epic Games continues to add new cosmetics to the Fortnite Item Shop, Marvel skins like this could be added in the future. Because some players may have already bought these characters, they could be added as variants to the existing iterations for no additional charge.
