If you aren't a fan of comic book capers, then chances are that the current season of Fortnite probably isn't for you. Hoping to top the superhero showstopper of Chapter 2 Season 4, Chapter 5 Season 4's Absolute Doom has given your battle royale favourite a Marvel makeover.
As the name suggests, Doctor Doom is the big bad of the current season, spreading his villainous tendrils across the map with the help of villains like Emma Frost and Mysterio. While the Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass is full of familiar faces from the pages of Marvel comics, the ever-stacked Fortnite shop has us splahing the V-Bucks.
Fortnite's Black Cat skin is serving 'cake'

We've had plenty of Spider-Man and Spider-adjacent skins over the course of Fortnite's run. Although we're still waiting for Doctor Octopus, Miles Morales, Peter Parker, and Gwen Stacy have all been given their time to shine. You might remember Chapter 3 Season 1's Green Goblin going viral for his *erm* assets, and now, it's Black Cat's turn.
As one of Spider-Man's infamous adversaries and occasional girlfriends, Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat, has been a much-requested Fortnite skin. She's supposedly coming to the Item Shop on September 14, with noted leaker ShiinaBR showing off Felicia's look. As you can imagine, Fortnite fans are only thinking about one thing.
Given Fortnite's family-friendly aesthetic, the designers have been accused of 'nerfing' some of the more sexualised comic book designs. Black Cat is about as sultry as they come, and although her Fortnite design features a zipped-up catsuit instead of her sometimes plunging neckline, some of you are still drooling over her.
Notably, players are cheering that the Black Cat skin is perhaps more sexualised than many of the game’s skins. While we don't condone the sexualisation of any video game character, the comments suggest that the Black Cat skin will be very popular. Responding to the leak, one player cheered, "She got that Velma dumptruck on her."
When another said, "SHE HAS AN ASS?!," someone else replied, "For the first time in foreverrrrrrrr." A fourth concluded, "What you're telling me she doesn't have an unnaturally flat ass like 99% of the female skins since chapter 3?? is Epic listening??" You might remember when the Fortnite community lost it over the 'thicc' Heroic Hope skin paired with the Party Hips emote.
Chapter 5 Season 4 has become known as the season of the nerfs as Epic has struggled to balance the Marvel Mythic weapons and Isle of Doom, but if you nerf Black Cat's posterior, there are sure to be riots among the ever-horny FN fandom.
