The worlds of Marvel Comics and Fortnite are colliding once again in the current season of the smash hit video game , dubbed 'Absolute Doom'. Now, just as the game is introducing yet another new game mode which pits Marvel heroes and villains against each other in a massive clash along with even more Marvel themed weapons , Marvel Comics is bringing a bit of Fortnite into the Marvel Universe with a line of variant covers featuring some of the current Fortnite season's Marvel x Fortnite mash-up characters. First up there's Captain Jones, who combines Fortnite's familiar Agent Jones character with Captain America.
Then there's Meowtooth, a mash-up of Sabretooth and the cute kitty-faced Meowscles. Next up is Ghost Ri-Durr, a combination of Ghost Rider and Durr-Burger who has a flaming hamburger for a head. And finally, the icon among icons, Peelverine, who combines none other than Wolverine with Peely for a version of Logan who is - you guessed it - a giant banana.
If that sounds ridiculous, it is - and it's meant to be. Marvel's latest Fortnite collab has everything that's great about the smash-hit game, and the mash-up skins embody the wild fun that comes from seeing all kinds of characters meeting up in one place. Here's a gallery of the covers, including Meowtooth on the cover of X-Men #7 and Ghost Ri-Durr on the cover of Spirits of Vengeance #3, both by Afu-Chan, along with Peelverine on the cover of Wolverine #3 by Iban Coello, and a cover for Avengers #20 featuring an image of the actual Captain Jones outfit taken straight from the game: "The Marvel Universe has collided with the world of Fortnite once again in the hit video game’s latest Season - ABSOLUTE DOOM!
