Showcase: Fortnite x Fantastic Four Skins, Cosmetics, and Prices

Sure thing, let’s dive into this wild mashup of Fortnite and Marvel’s Fantastic Four and see if we can shake things up a little.

Alright, so Fortnite decided to buddy up with Marvel—again—and this time, they’ve roped in the Fantastic Four. Yep, those guys. No capes, sadly, but they’re jumping straight out of the movie, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” hitting the big screens July 25, 2025. Seriously, I remember when my old comic books literally fell apart with these four clowns on every page, and here they are again, but this time in Fortnite. The skins are out, and you’d probably celebrate too if you were waiting for Marvel’s First Family to hit the shelves. But here’s the kicker: you can snag one of them or blow all the V-Bucks and snag the whole family.

Now, I should probably dive into the “how-to” deal with these freaking skins, but I might get sidetracked. Whatever. Just stick with me here.

Remember before when they teased us with like a million different Superman skins? Kinda makes you wonder why they choose now to hit us with these. Some sort of cosmic fling? Who knows. Anyway—wait no, where was I? Ah! Back to skins: You got Mister Fantastic, absolutely no stretchy pants this round, Invisible Woman not really invisible (which is crazy OP if you ask me), The Thing in his iconic rock-pile look, and the ever-fiery Human Torch. All models look ridiculously like their movie versions—Reed Richards looks a lot like Pedro Pascal. I’m not kidding. Same glorious mustache and all. Who casts for these things?

Each character lands with their own toolkit. Freaking Reed gets this wacky Fantastic Fists thing going on where his hand stretches like chewing gum—only in Fortnite, right? But for everyone else, it’s just a giant hand. Hilarious. Invisible Woman tosses these Psionic Orbs like juggling air. No invisible style, though. Dang, right? Big Ben’s rocking a shirt-on, shirt-off vibe—really? That’s the best they got? Maybe. Lastly, Johnny Storm goes all blazing but—awkwardly—leaves his face untouched. Bet some poor dev missed that memo.

So, the rundown: each skin price dances around 1,500 to 1,800 V-Bucks—yikes. You think they’re golden? Nah, they’re just pixels and code, but fans can’t resist. And here’s the deal: if you’re feeling frugal (or maybe a Fantastic Four hoarder?), there’s this bundle going for 3,600 V-Bucks. It’s like Black Friday at my grandma’s but, for virtual outfits. Tempting.

That’s pretty much the spiel. Gotta love cashing out for, what, the thrill? Maybe. Sometimes these characters really do bring childhood nostalgia alive, even if it’s just for a ten-minute game session. Besides, there’s always that one friend who’s gotta flex their new skin, right? Let them have it. Who knows what Fortnite will pull next—maybe Doctor Doom dances in? I legit can’t predict these things anymore.

Anyway. Game on, true believers. Or whatever Stan Lee always said.

And there we go. Oh, and those pickaxe names? Yeah, weirdly dramatic—always something to snark about in the world of Fortnite aesthetics!
