Superman’s Takeover of Chapter 6 Season 3

From the moment Chapter 6 Season 3 launched, players knew Superman would be a central character—but his impact on the season has been far greater than expected. From his presence as an NPC at Supernova Academy to his loyal pet Krypto, a Mythic dog treat to summon him, and the introduction of Superman sprites that grant unique powers, it’s safe to say the Man of Steel is officially dominating the island.

But it doesn’t stop there. A new icy biome recently appeared on the map, teasing the arrival of Superman’s home base, the Fortress of Solitude. Scheduled to fully launch on July 11—the same day as the new Superman movie—players are gearing up for one of Fortnite’s most iconic crossovers yet.

What to Expect From the Superman Update

The Superman update will be Fortnite’s biggest mid-season content drop. Here’s what’s included:

  • Fortress of Solitude POI: Replacing the Lakeside Laboratory, this new snowy area has already begun expanding, hinting at its transformation into Superman’s icy HQ.
  • New Mythic Item: Called the Kryptonian Form, it will allow players to transform into Superman mid-match via a portal—just like the Godzilla and Star Wars mythics before it.
  • New Abilities: The Kryptonian Form will include laser eyes, flight, and super strength, all teased through in-game trailers and leaks.
  • Free Rewards: Several Superman cosmetics will be unlocked through challenges, including sprays, loading screens, and a banner icon—even if you don’t own the battle pass.

One of the best teasers came in a loading screen called “Look Up”, which shows Superman flying above the island with his Fortress in the background—a clear preview of the mythic abilities players will soon wield.

Superman’s Mythic Abilities Explained

Once the update goes live, Superman’s mythic will spawn through mid-game portals—similar to the system used in past seasons. Entering the portal triggers a transformation animation where your character becomes Superman, complete with a cinematic mid-air scene.

Here’s what the Kryptonian Form mythic gives you:

  • Flight: Soar across the island at high speed for rotation or escape.
  • Laser Eyes: A damage-dealing beam that functions similarly to the Superman sprite attack already in the game.
  • Super Strength: Deliver powerful melee punches capable of destroying structures and launching enemies—perfect for close encounters.

Players have already been able to preview these abilities through the Superman NPC and sprite powers, although currently the NPC is invincible—unless hit with a fishing rod or formerly, a boogie bomb, which temporarily caused him to fight back.
