Gwenpool in Fortnite: Release date and how to get the skin
Epic Games and the Marvel universe are set to cross over once again in the latest season of Fortnite, known as Absolute Doom.
Most notably, fan favourite Gwenpool will be making their debut for the first time.
The latest Marvel superhero's addition was confirmed in a new blockbuster trailer that showcased the return of Victor von Doom, aka Doctor Doom, to the battle royale.
We then see Jonesy masquerading as Captain America, with the likes of War Machine, Shuri, Emma Frost, Mysterio and Peelverine (Wolverine meets Peely) all featuring as well.
Above all else, though, the inclusion of Gwenpool is the most unexpected. For those who aren't aware of the character, we've broken down a brief synopsis, as well as how to get the new Gwenpool skin in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4.
Gwenpool is a relatively new character in Marvel that is an amalgamation of Gwen Stacy and Wade Wilson (Deadpool).
Created by Christopher Hastings, Heather Antos and Jordan D White, Gwenpool first appeared in Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars #2 in June 2015, and is from Earth-TRN565.
Obsessed with superheroes, Gwenpool acknowledges that she's a fictional character from a comic book, and is known for her hand-to-hand combat, reality manipulation, weapons training, fourth-wall breaking and inter-dimensional travel.
Gwenpool and Deadpool are not related in any way. MODOK serves as the character's main villain.
