All The Marvel ‘Fortnite’ Skins And Everything New In The Chapter 5, Season 4 ‘Absolute Doom’ Battle Pass

Must read

Updated 8.17.24

Fortnite’s Chapter 5, Season 4 ‘Absolute Doom’ Battle Pass is now live alongside the rest of the season and it comes packed with new Marvel skins that range from the Avengers to the X-Men and Fantastic Four. This is the first big Marvel-themed season since Chapter 2, and the first since Disney’s $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games.

The new season will apparently involve some kind of Hero vs Villain player-choice event similar to the Spy vs Spy season that first introduced Deadpool to the game back in Chapter 2—one of the best seasons in Fortnite history.

Here’s the new Season 4 map:

The coolest new location on the map is definitely the Doom Castle, Doctor Doom’s ominous fortress, looming over the village of Doomstadt:

I’m also curious about the Fractured Four landmark:

Here are all the new skins in the Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4 Battle Pass. More Marvel-themed content will come to the game as the season progresses, but many of these skins have in-game powers and special weapons as well.

Tier 1 — Gwenpool

Hot on the heels of the success of Deadpool & Wolverine, Gwenpool makes her Fortnite debut, in her classic pink and white suit.

Speaking of Deadpool, I miss his Fortnite debut, which came with such fun little secret challenges and a great sense of humor. That was during the Spy vs Spy themed season, one of the best of all time.

Level 15 — War Machine

Iron Man’s right hand man, War Machine blasts into Fortnite as the second unlockable skin in the Battle Pass. Not only will you be able to play as the superhero, there will be in-game turrets and other War Machine powers you can use as well.

Level 30 — Peelverine

Much ado is made in Deadpool & Wolverine about how Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine replacement is the worst Wolverine. I’m sorry, but Peelverine is clearly the worst Wolverine and it’s not even close. Wolverine’s Claws make a return to Fortnite as well.

Level 45 — Emma Frost

Emma Frost is originally a bad guy on Doctor Doom’s team, but falls for Cyclops and joins the X-Men. Cyclops would also make a cool Fortnite skin.

Level 65 — Captain Jonesy

Jonesy is awesome no matter what skin he turns up in, and that’s the case once again as he grabs Cap’s shield and dons the classic suit. Captain America has never looked so Jonesy. The Shield throw also makes its way to Fortnite in Season 4.

Level 80 — Mysterio

Wait, Mysterio looks nothing like Jake Gyllenhaal! What gives? Just kidding. This Mysterio is way cooler than the one in that Spider-Man movie. His illusion powers come to Fortnite as well.

Level 100 — Shuri

The final Battle Pass skin this time around is Shuri, the new Black Panther. Like many of these other skins, Shuri will have variant skins and other cosmetics to unlock. Vibranium Claws also make their way as a special power to the Fortnite island. You can check out the new Season 4 map right here.

Special Skin — Doctor Doom

Is that . . . Robert Downey Jr. behind the mask? This special skin is unlockable later in the season when the special Doctor Doom quests drop. This is in many ways our first (re)introduction to the new MCU supervillain that has replaced Kang going forward.

See all these skins in action in the new Season 4 trailer below:

The new Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks and will include 1,500 V-Bucks to unlock.
