Superman Soars Into Fortnite: A Mythic Update Like No Other
It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s Superman, and he’s crash-landed straight into Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3. After weeks of leaks, teases, and skyward glances, the Superman update is here – and it’s way more than just a cape and tights. From a jaw-dropping mythic transformation and exclusive rewards (even if you don’t have the Battle Pass) to a mysterious live event and an incoming Deadmau5 concert in Battle Royale, this is easily the biggest flex of Season 3 so far. Let’s break down everything entering orbit right now!
The Mythic Drop: Become Superman (Literally!)
About three minutes into every match, players can spot a bright rift opening in the sky, followed by a meteor crash-landing somewhere on the map. Inside? A glowing hunk of kryptonite called Superman’s Call – your one-way ticket to go full Kryptonian and dominate the island.
Only one player per match can grab the crystal and transform into Superman, but if the Man of Steel gets eliminated, the mythic can be reclaimed. This creates insane hot drops and mid-game fights centered around one of the strongest transformations Fortnite’s ever seen.
Superman Mythic Abilities:
- Flight – Zoom across the map like a heat-seeking eagle.
- Laser Eyes – Straight-up fry builds and melt opponents.
- Super Punch – Smash the ground with a shockwave that clears out squads and structures.
“Laser eyes, baby. Boom. Thanks for playing.” — Top Five Gaming
The downside? Superman mode is timed for four minutes, so use that power wisely. Perfect for clutch rotations, escaping the storm, or turning the tide in endgame showdowns.
Suit Up: Free Rewards + a Hidden Glider Variant
Cosmetics are part of every great crossover, and Epic did not disappoint. The Superman bundle is loaded with themed gear – from the timeless Superman skin to flashy back bling and pickaxes.
Many items are tied to Battle Pass progression (you’ll need to level up around 24 times), but Epic is also spoiling every player with free rewards – even if you skipped buying the pass.
Totally Free Superman Loot:
- Confrontation Loading Screen – May hint at the upcoming live event.
- Super Cape Back Bling
- Superman Banner Icon
- Crystal Smasher Pickaxe
- Daily Flight Glider – Comes with a secret variant: one with handles and one without!
“Epic Games blessed us with a totally free bonus Superman reward.” — Top Five Gaming
Whether you’re looking to rep Superman with brag-worthy cosmetics or just stack your locker, there’s something in it for everyone.
What’s Next? The Fortress of Solitude, Krypto & Deadmau5
The Superman update doesn’t stop here. Part 2 drops this Tuesday, bringing even more heat (and maybe some beats):
- Fortress of Solitude POI – Replacing Lakeside Laboratory, this icy monolith is a full send into Superman’s lore. Expect a new base, hidden secrets, and possibly some lore bombs.
- Superman NPC Relocation – He’s packing his bags and moving into the new POI, potentially as a hirable ally or quest-giver.
- Krypto the Superdog – Fortnite’s cutest leak so far! Krypto is teased as a companion pet and could be arriving as a cosmetic or gameplay follower.

Oh, and Fortnite’s getting
Live Event Teased: Things Are Heating Up at Demon’s Domain
With Superman arriving, the Zero Point storyline is taking a dark turn. The mysterious Overlord Spires – those massive energy towers – are creeping toward Demon’s Domain. Fortnite’s own TikTok teased these movements with subtle visuals.
