Superman and the Man of Steel’s Many Secrets

Superman’s emote in the new season directly mirrors his pose in the upcoming movie trailer. But this isn’t the first time he’s wowed fans—his original Skin had to be unlocked via phone booth, a nod to his comic book origins.

His glider and flying animations even change mid-match. And of course, don’t forget the Superman sprites that shoot laser eyes when collected—a diabolical callback to “The Boys.”

Marvel Mastery: From Doom to Deadpool

Deadpool’s classic popcorn emote? A cheeky nod to his fourth-wall breaking antics. And don’t forget the Wolverine emoticon showing the sad banana meme from the 90s X-Men cartoon.

Wolverine’s spray replicates his Berserker Barrage combo from Marvel vs Capcom. Meanwhile, Doom has secret dialogue with other heroes, and the Hulk skin wears default Fortnite clothes, raising suspicions it might just be Jonesy in disguise.

Crossovers, Cameos, and Cultural Callouts

Eminem’s Rap Boy is based on Robin, appearing years before we got Tim Drake in the battle pass. Star-Lord’s back bling even has a tiny Groot keychain. And Spider-Gwen’s emote drops her FPS to match “Into the Spider-Verse.”

Invincible, Drax, and Even Minion from Megamind

Alan the Alien’s back bling shows he misnavigated to Fortnite instead of “Fort Nate”—a gag lifted straight from the show. Invincible himself appeared in the show holding a Fortnite sniper, explaining his later appearance in-game.

The Leviathan skin? Straight up based on Minion from Megamind. Tribute or coincidence, it still counts.

Deep DC Details: Gotham, Joker, and the Monarch Theater

When Gotham replaced Tilted Towers, it brought Ace Chemicals and the Monarch Theater—where Batman’s parents were killed. A direct origin reference, complete with vats of acid.

The White Widow emote mocks the iconic Black Widow pose, while her sauce bottle is from a Hawkeye episode (yes, really).

Meta Marvel: From Snap Emotes to Secret Seasons

Using Captain America and drinking shield gives you the quote, “If I don’t Bucky, I’ll die”—an obscure comic reference. You can even find Thanos-exclusive snap animations in-game, long before the Marvel rarity tag existed.

Epic’s Love of Marvel vs Capcom

Fortnite devs have filled the game with nods to MvC, including Doom’s pose, Cyclops’ handshake with Ryu, and Stark fans watching in-universe matches on TV.

From Risky Reels to Reload: The Legacy Continues

Back in 2018, fake movies like “Carbide Returns” parodied Superman Returns. And in Chapter 2, reaching level 220 turned you into a “True Believer”—a tribute to Stan Lee’s nickname for Marvel fans.
