A newFortnitebundle has seemingly been leaked, revealing that skins of iconicX-Menheroes Cyclops, Jubilee, and Colossus could be on the way.Fortniteand Marvel Comics have crossed paths many times before, often to promote an upcoming MCU movie or series with a new character skin or two. Recent rumors have suggested that even more Marvel xFortnitecontent is on the way throughout Chapter 5, with a return appearance from Galactus and the arrival of the infamous Doctor Doom as yet another character skin.
Meanwhile, the mutants of theX-Menfranchise have been getting plenty of love from Epic over the past couple of years, with fan-favorite power couple Rogue and Gambit making theirFortnitedebuts back in 2022. Their legendary arch-nemesis Magneto would find his way onto the Island later, complete with a new Wastelander outfit that has proven to be a hit with players. Late last month,Deadpool and Wolverine received new costumesof their own to commemorate their recent big-screen team-up.
Now they could be joined by a trinity of other famous mutants, at least according to an image shared by reliableFortniteleakerShiinaBRearlier this week. Said image featuresFortniteversions of classicX-Mencharacters Cyclops, Jubilee, and Colossus, alongside a collection ofX-Men-themed pickaxes, Back Bling, and other items. All three characters sport looks inspired by their appearances in theX-Menanimated show of the 90s and its recent revival seriesX-Men ’97.

Gaming-wise,X-Menheroes like Wolverine and Storm lent their mutant abilities toMarvel’s Midnight Suns, theX-Men-centricMarvel vs. Capcomtitlesare getting a rerelease in the form ofMarvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, and Logan will once again step into the spotlight in Insomniac’sMarvel’s Wolverine. Recent leaks from the developers also indicate that Insomniac will use this upcoming game as a springboard for a full-onX-Mentitle in 2030.
With all of this excitingX-Mennews, it should come as little surprise that Epic is diving back into the mutant well for newFortniteskins, especially sinceMarvel characters like Cyclopshave been highly requested by fans.
