Fortnite is one of the most popular battle royale games right now, partly due to the level of collaborations it has made with Epic Games. Especially when it comes to Marvel and other Disney concepts, the developer hasn't been tired of securing features and characters for his game. Now, a leaked Marvel hero X-23 for the game has been officially announced.
X-23, better known as Laura Kinney, is a character with Wolverine's DNA. The character was created for the TV series X-Men: Evolution in 2003, but has since gained fame as the main character in the movie Logan. Recently, players spotted the X-23 on one of the covers of Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War, which has led some to believe it will be coming to battle royale.
The character set will consist of four elements, including:
- X-23 Outfit: Weapon X clone and heir to the Wolverine name. (Includes the Unmasked alternative style.)
- Clone Cocoon Back Decoration: The birthplace of the perfect weapon. (Includes X-23 outfit.)
- X-23's Adamantium Claws Pickaxe: Bone limbs covered with a metal that is almost never damaged.
- X Symbol Overlay: Follow the schedule.

Some believe that the inclusion of a character in this way immediately after appearing on the cover of Zero War means that some of the other main characters shown may also appear. These can include heroes like Bucky Barnes, Captain Carter, Gray Hulk and more.
Epic Games doesn't seem to have a problem bringing many major Marvel characters from popular culture into the game. With a few exceptions, Epic and Marvel seem to stick to the classic comic book look for these characters rather than the actors playing them in the movies.
As Epic's partnership with Disney grows stronger, players will likely see more classic characters.
