Fortnite Chapter 5's Newest Spider-Man Iron Spider Skin

There will soon be a new Spider-Man costume skin available in Fortnite. For fans of Marvel, the most recent season of the game with a Marvel theme, Chapter 5 Season 4 - Absolute Doom, is jam-packed with intriguing stuff.

Characters including Gwenpool, War Machine, Shuri, Captain Jonesy, Mysterio, Emma Frost, and Peelverine already have skins available for purchase in the battle pass for this season.

Furthermore, it has been confirmed that Doctor Doom is a part of the mid-season tasks available to Battle Pass holders. Thanks to a recent leak, a new character is now expected to appear in the battle royale.

According to well-known leaker ShiinaBR

A new Spider-Man skin that pays tribute to the original Iron Spider costume will be available in the Fortnite Shop on Friday, August 23rd.

As another user, SpushFNBR, first noted, this partnership will feature not just the Iron Spider skin but also a skin, emote, pickaxe, guitar, and wrap.

Compared to the Iron Spider suit shown in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this one is inspired by its comic book roots, namely from Amazing Spider-Man #529 (1999), where Tony Stark first created the armour for Peter Parker.

Since then The Iron Spider Suit

Has seen numerous incarnations and been worn by a variety of characters, such as Mary Jane Watson in The Amazing Spider-Man #15 (2017), Tom Holland's Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and even characters from Insomniac's Marvel Spider-Man video games.

The new Fortnite skin features a high-tech red-and-gold armour that closely resembles the Insomniac games' outfit, along with a Peter Parker-like face sculpt behind the helmet, in keeping with the character's representation in the game.

It seems obvious that Mysterio's heroic counterpart would soon make an appearance, considering the new season of Fortnite, which launched on August 16th, has already seen Mysterio cause problems.

This also raises the possibility that additional potential Marvel characters will join the Absolute Doom season as it develops.
