Fortnite Introduces Superman Mythic Powers July 11

Fortnite is launching a highly anticipated Superman crossover starting July 11, 2025, introducing a new Mythic item called Superman's Call that allows the first player to obtain it in Battle Royale or Zero Build matches to transform into Superman, gaining abilities like flight, heat vision, and super strength. This power-up makes the player a high-value target, as defeating them reverts them to normal, though concerns about its potential overpowering effect have been raised, recalling similar issues with previous Mythics like Doctor Doom. On July 15, the iconic Fortress of Solitude will be added as a new point of interest on the map, where players can interact with Superman and purchase items using in-game currency called Bars. Alongside these gameplay additions, a Super Battle Pass will offer unlockable cosmetics including the Superman outfit, glider, cape back bling, pickaxe, and emotes, with a special Pen & Ink style designed by Jim Lee available by reaching higher account levels. The update also adds new exotic weapons and a Surging Speed boon that enhances sprinting efficiency, while introducing additional DC characters like Mister Terrific and The Engineer to the item shop. The crossover has sparked mixed reactions among fans, with some excited about the new content and others calling for more diverse DC character representation beyond Superman.
