FortniteIs Giving Spider-Man a Pretty Nifty New Armored Costume

Spider - Man has been throughmore costume changesand substitute case over the long time than most Marvel heroes , touch Iron Man for a closet that could fill out several floors of Avengers Tower . But his gibbousness in Marvel ’s upcoming Zero Warcrossover with Fortniteis give him yet another — and it ’s not half bad .

Ahead of tomorrow ’s release of the first issue in author Christos Gage , Epic Games chief originative officer Donald Mustard , and creative person Sergio Davíla ’s five - book miniseriesFortnite x Marvel : Zero War , Marvelhas formally revealedthat Peter Parker will don a raw “ Zero ” suit in the serial publication that reader will also be able-bodied to learn with the first print run of effect one to redeem in Fornite ( the suit itself will be useable at a later date in the game ’s store , because , well , it ’s Fortnite ) .

Zero War is n’t the first meter Marvel and Fortnite have team up out of doors of the secret plan before — a previous tie in for a Marvel - theme season of cosmetic unlocks in the metaversal shooter tossed amnesiac Avengers into the paths of original Fortnite characters and turned our brains into mush for the“Nexus War ” outcome , and ever since there ’s been mass of MCU or comic railroad tie - ins to bring a bevy of Marvel reference to the plot as enhancive skins . But Zero wants to emulate what Gage antecedently did with the game over at DC Comics with theshockingly unspoilt Batman / Fortnite : Zero point in time . Which does indeed mean a swanky new costume for Peter Parker at least , which you may check out below in Ron Lim and Israel Silva ’s court to Mike Zeck and John Beatty ’s Secret Wars # 8 cover reveal of Peter ’s symbiote lawsuit :

The Zero suit might not continue the bequest of Spider - Man ’s armored courtship being the latest Mk . model in a line of Spider - Armors in its name at least , but its lineage in Peter ’s history of comics armors is reasonably clear . Instead of being an all - armored case , the tactical suit vibes and the cushioned armour sections feel very evocative of a crew of the honest-to-god Spider - Armors , especially the anti - Sinister Six Mk . III , introduced in 1999 . Not too bulky for a nimble fighter like Spider - Man , but enough suitable padding for the world of Fortnite where the poor guy ’s gon na be shoot at , woof - axe , or occasionally lightsabered , it ’s a corking new flavor for Peter that fits both his own costuming bequest and the earthly concern he ’s going to get himself in Fortnite ’s ever - reset fight royale .

Fortnite x wonder : Zero War # 1 , and its included code to get at the Zero Suit in - game , is set to reach comics shelves tomorrow .
