Professor X is coming to Fortnite [THEORY]

Before I get into this. This is just a THEORY and my delusions, so please don't take this so seriously. I made this for funsies. I'm gonna try my best to explain this!!

[CAUTION] SPOILERS FOR XMEN 97'

On March 20th 2024, Xmen 97' got released and later in the eps, we can see that Prof x came back. With the return of him, I believe that he would play some kind of important role in season 2. For this we might get a Professor X skin.

After 4 months->

We all know that Magneto got released in the fortnite battlepass on July 2nd 2024.

As a teasing for more Xmen skins and the Marvel season coming to Fortnite. In his game description "Master of Magnetism, leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants and one time friend to CHARLES XAVIER." Which might indicate, that Professor X is coming to Fortnite.

Later at the end of July (27th July 2024) came the Deadpool and Wolverine bundle to Fortnite for the film Deadpool and Wolverine. August 10th came 2-3 Xmen bundle 1. (the newest one) which includes: Julibee, Cyclops, Colossus. With other xmen bundle. I think, there were 2 old xmen bundles that returned (As far as I can remember. I can't find a web where it shows fn shop history). Rogue and Gambit as a bundle and Domino, Cable and Psylocke as a bundle (both old bundles) and with the return of Jean Grey (telepath) in the shop. On the 15th of August, the 2nd season of Marvel got released. In the battle pass, Emma Frost (telepath) and Peelverine (wolverine) got added into fn.

Fortnite has a lot of xmen related skins on fortnite (if someone is missing then pls inform me!!):

X-23, Wolverine (new), Wolverine (battlepass), Peelverine

Emma frost, Dark Phoenix, Magneto, Jubilee, Cyclops, Colossus, Rogue, Gambit, Deadpool (and all his variants), Meowtooth (Sabretooth), Mystique, Storm, Cable, Domino, Psylocke

We have 3 telepaths in game (psylocke, Jean, Emma). Why shouldn't there be a Professor x skin? He's literally the OG xmen, the founder of xmen and a well known character in the Marvel/X-Men community. A lot of ppl grew up watching the xmen series/movies and definitely know about prof x.

Timeline & Prediction of his release

I do not know for sure, what Marvel will do in 2026 with xmen. But it's rumored, that a xmen film will be released.

His skin will probably release after the X-Men 97' S2.

"But how is fortnite gonna add him into the game??"

I'm pretty sure that fornite can figure it out themselves. They are literally a million dollar company.

I have a few ideas how they might add prof x in the game.

1. Krakoa Professor X

The obvious one being Krakoa Charles. This is literally perfection, an amazing skin for Professor X. If they were to add this version of Professor X, I think they would want to add Krakoa Magneto too, as a bundle together.

We have seen adaptation of this version in game. For an example: Contest of Champions and Future Fight (mobile game).

They can also add the cerebro sword as Charles's pickaxe in game.

They can also add for both of them the krakoan Flower pot and that one tea pot (idk what's it called again correct me if I'm wrong), which Magneto used in POX, as their backbling.

Problems that might appear:

"Magneto already has a skin in the game. Why would they add him again?"

I'm pretty sure that fornite has added variants of skins in game. For an example: Deadpool [Deadpool pen & ink, Cuddlepool, Fishpool, ...]

"Didn't the krakoan age come to an end? Why would they want to add the skins?"

Yes, it did. I'm pretty sure that fornite has added Marvel comic skins, on which the series already ended.

"They wouldn't make much money off it"

I think that they would make a lot of money. Since the release of the new movie Deadpool and Wolverine, a lot of ppl (including myself) starting to get into Xmen and are interested in the comics. Most ppl recommends the krakoan age for newer xmen fan, who's trying to get into xmen comics.

In 2019 Marvel has sold 185,630 copies of HOX/POX.

Mind you that it was only in 2019, we do not know for sure. How many copies they've sold at the moment and there are many ppl reading it on marvel unlimited or on some illegal web.

2. Young Charles

(When he first met Erik)

Or

This version (idk if he's young in this one or not and what version this is. Pls inform me if you do!!)

3. The OG Professor X

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS VERSION OF HIM IN FORTNITE💔💔

Fortnite is adding anything BUT Professor X. I FEEL ROBBED

Personally I don't want to see a skin of James Mcavoy as Charles Xavier. I can not imagine Charles with hair, I'm sorry😭😭 I would feel disappointed, if James Mcavoy as Charles get added into the game. I would still buy it regardless. 😓

Anyways that's all!!

The First Age of Krakoa (2019 - 2024)

Oh, Krakoa. You were wild and messy and innovative and swung for the fences and were one of the most exciting things to happen to the X-Men franchise in ages. Did you misfire? Yes. Was there tons of untapped potential? Yes. But you got me through covid and left me with a few new favorites (Kwannon, Sinister, Lactuca, Bei), you knew how to write Magneto and Storm well, and you canonized Mystique and Destiny.

So, I salute you. Once more, for the mutants of this world.

I'm not crying, you're crying
