Fortnite can capitalize on some of Marvel and DC's most underrated characters, by adding skins for some of comics' most underrepresented heroes and villains. While some players would agree that it's wrong for Marvel and DC characters to be in Fortnite, with their use of the game's guns undermining some of their characters and leaving their unique powers unutilized, there is a benefit to these crossovers. Comic books are a crowded medium, with hundreds of heroes and villains headlining their own stories, each with unique powers, backstories, and relationships. As such, every one of these characters is somebody's favorite. While certain characters are more popular than others, even the lesser-known ones often have devoted followings, with many having starred in their own acclaimed comic book story-arcs.
Because of the diversity of comic book rosters, there are a lot of opportunities to make crossovers that work well. While characters like Hulk can't be playable in Fortnite, other heroes fit in a lot better. For instance, Black Widow (who is an expert with firearms) fits in perfectly with the rest of Fortnite's gun-wielding roster. Since often the more popular heroes, such as Batman and Spider-Man, are at odds with their characters shooting Fortnite's guns, it leaves Epic Games with the perfect opportunity to explore some of the superhero genre's lesser utilized characters. There are dozens of beloved characters that rarely (if ever) make their way into video games as playable characters, often because developers aren't sure if an expensive game surrounding a lesser-known character (even one with a cult following) will sell.
