X-Men’s Jean Grey is playable in Fortnite with the new Dark Phoenix skin and Phoenix Force set. A wide assortment of Fortnite Marvel skins like Carnage’s have been added to the game over the years, including an entire season’s battle pass being fully dedicated to the comic book superheroes. While some of the Marvel skins that have been introduced to Fortnite are based on their respective comics, others were inspired by the characters’ movie adaptations. Regardless of which version of the characters they’re based on, Fortnite’s Marvel skins have always been altered to varying degrees to help them better fit with the game’s visual style.

Fortnite is currently in its 18th season. Officially called Chapter 2 Season Eight, it started in mid-September and has already seen its fair share of interesting crossovers. These skins have brought the likes of Ariana Grande, League of Legends’ Jinx skin, and an MCU Venom skin to the game, just to name a few. More recently, Epic Games revealed it’s launching a major Fortnite Naruto crossover event with the massively popular anime franchise.

Revealed in a surprise announcement, Epic Games has added a Dark Phoenix outfit to Fortnite, letting players go into battle as more powerful version of popular X-Men character Jean Grey. The new skin is part of the new Phoenix Force set, named after the power behind Grey’s alternate persona. The set includes the Dark Phoenix skin, Phoenix Force back bling, Wrath of the Phoenix loading screen, and Rising Phoenix emote. While the skin, back bling, and loading screen can be purchased as a bundle, the emote is sold separately in the Fortnite item shop.

Just like many of the other Marvel skins that have been added, the Fortnite Dark Phoenix skin differs a bit visually from the X-Men comics and is a complete departure from the character’s most recent depiction in the the Dark Phoenix film. As for the Phoenix Force back bling and Rising Phoenix emote, the former is basically a small fiery phoenix while the latter sees the character float up into the air while they raise their arms in a classic Dark Phoenix pose before flames explode from behind them in the shape of a phoenix.

While Disney may be one of the battle royale’s closest and most popular partners, it’s not every day that Fortnite adds a new Marvel skin without warning or a specific cross-promotion tie-in attached. With the X-Men movie franchise currently in limbo, it’s not surprising that Epic would release a version of Dark Phoenix based on the comics instead of the recent film, which was a box office bomb. The skin looks fantastic as fantastic as the heroine, and the Phoenix Force’s flaming emote and back bling will likely be a dazzling sight in-game.
