Alright, let’s dive into the chaos of Fortnite and Marvel’s latest shenanigans, shall we? So, the Fantastic Four crash-landed into Fortnite, right from the MCU. Weird timing, but hey, they’re here just in time for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” flick hitting theaters on July 25, 2025. Honestly, it feels like they took their sweet time.
Now, here’s the deal: these Marvel bigwigs finally got their skins up for grabs in the game. Before this—zilch, nada, a complete void in the Fantastic Four department. But ho ho, now you’ve got options. Four skins—pick one or grab them all, if you’re swimming in V-Bucks. Why didn’t they show up before? Maybe Marvel got sidetracked by Spider-Man or something—who knows?
Okay, shifting gears, how do you snag Mister Fantastic in Fortnite? Reed Richards—he’s got this superhero vibe but with a price. Yup, 1,600 V-Bucks. Comes with four things: his suit, some LEGO style—honestly, who’s this for anyway?—and a nifty pickaxe called Fantastic Fists, which is basically his oversized glove. Kind of cool, but maybe not for everyone. Oh, and there’s this emote where he stretches his arm to grab a coffee mug. Why a mug? Beats me.
Susan Storm, she’s the Invisible Woman. No, you can’t be totally invisible in the game—would be a tad OP, right? Priced same as Reed, 1,600 V-Bucks. Vanessa Kirby’s her lookalike this time. Comes with Psionic Orbs—those are her pickaxes. The animation’s more handsy if you’re using her but turns into wrist gauntlets for others. Go figure.
On to the big guy—Ben Grimm, aka The Thing. He’s got a couple of styles and a shirtless version for the classic fans. Costs 1,500 V-Bucks. Does he have a LEGO style too? Yup. His emote “It’s Clobberin’ Time!” is a throwback. Very nostalgic if you ask me.
Now we get flashy with Johnny Storm, The Human Torch. More expensive—1,800 V-Bucks. Guess you pay more for setting yourself on fire. He can switch to full flame-on mode. Kind of like Joseph Quinn, who plays him in the movie. His emote? “Flame On!” makes you toggle between suits. Pricey, sure, but who doesn’t want to look like a beacon? Right?
The cosmetics—oh boy! You’ve got the Fantastic Four Space Craft Glider and various back blings. Fantastic’s got enough gear to clog up the item shop until you’re broke. But hey, if you’re a die-hard MCU lover, that’s a financial risk worth taking—or not.
Wrapping up—you’ve got a bundle offer, 21 items for 3,600 V-Bucks. That’s a steal compared to buying separately. Maybe they’re playing mind games with the pricing—trying to lure hardcore fans in. Clever? Sneaky? Who knows. But if you’re into the Marvel universe, it sounds like a playground. Honestly, the whole set could empty your imaginary wallet faster than you can say “flame on.” But, that’s Fortnite for you, keeping it fun and mildly chaotic.
