The worlds of Marvel Comics and Fortnite are colliding once again in the current season of the smash hit video game, dubbed 'Absolute Doom'. Now, just as the game is introducing yet another new game mode which pits Marvel heroes and villains against each other in a massive clash along with even more Marvel themed weapons, Marvel Comics is bringing a bit of Fortnite into the Marvel Universe with a line of variant covers featuring some of the current Fortnite season's Marvel x Fortnite mash-up characters.
First up there's Captain Jones, who combines Fortnite's familiar Agent Jones character with Captain America. Then there's Meowtooth, a mash-up of Sabretooth and the cute kitty-faced Meowscles. Next up is Ghost Ri-Durr, a combination of Ghost Rider and Durr-Burger who has a flaming hamburger for a head.
