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!!

Random 6 AM speculation on the Fortnite story, involving the stars, since they've been mentioning them a lot since Chapter 3, and now there's the whole constellation thing in this update.

[chrisavt]

how will this affect the trout population?

Well, seeing as it goes up in the air, and trout (to my knowledge) are in the water, i think maybe only 3 died because of it falling. RIP 3 trout.

A stream-of-thought essay about why Epic always misses the mark when it comes to rendering concept art - (it's deliberate)

Someone sent me this tiktok in Discord. https://www.tiktok.com/@squid3363/photo/7400670204356791582 It is a common gripe in the Fortnite player community: Epic seems to have a hard time rendering community concept art into in-game skins. Some renderings are spot-on - many are not. The first skin that ever made me go "WTF?" was Lorenzo from the Chapter 4: Season 3 Battle Pass  (not in the TikTok). The final render is on the left. The original is on the right.

I wasn't thrilled with the render. I would have liked gray skin. It would've matched better. But then again, I never squinted at the concept art hard enough. I deadass thought - hoped - Lorenzo would have cat ears.  To be fair, much of the concept's flair relied on that money-shot - seemingly with strategically-placed fans-in in the studio during the photo shoot.

I mean, I wouldn't mind having my coattails and tie ever defying gravity during a match. (My main is an anime skin - I know I'm seen from across the map. I've accepted my fate u.u ).

But I understand if Epic anticipated that most players would not appreciate gravity defiance.

Moving on...

The next WTF? moment I felt was with Medusa. I wasn't head over heels for the concept, but she was passable. But I knew a friend that was. The final render... made me feel bad, even for said friend :/

So I thought "Maybe it's the poly count?". I mean round corners = more faces, right? Epic manages to break something new with each update, we can't afford a buggy battle pass item, no?

Aphrodite? Maybe it's the polycount and they want to stay on-brand as Fortnite. Maybe they don't want to be confused with League of Legends? Maybe fantasy-esque drip isn't allowed?

And the parade of misses go on. It's all in the TikTok slide. I tried to look for a pattern. For some of them, it seems to be the face meshes. Namely the sausage lips.

Maybe it takes research to re-rig a new facial mesh for all of the emotes to work properly. As someone whos dabbled with animation in IMVU, which has a jillion different head meshes as far as the eye can see, I can concur - making the same "move this around instructions" look good on "everyone" is a royal pain in the ass. Virtually possible without making unique animations for each skeleton/mesh)... ...or maybe the department head just really likes sausage lips. I'm not one to judge. Some like 'em older and milfy, I dunno. Except some heads seem to have smaller lips, to negate that... And then there was Vikora.

She is from a summer quest - the same season one of the Lorenzos came out, (there's a couple of those). I can't recall which, but I have her. Something always seemed off about this one, Like, it was unique. It was fun - but in the OC-unique in the way that you sort of felt half of the flair was tamed. Maybe the proportions? I dunno. Whatever. I just wanted her set's wrap. I'd never seen her concept before seeing the tiktok today, and now, I want to fight someone. W.T.F. The hair. Just the hair. The original artist had made sure to put the bigger tuft on her left so that it would not interfere with aiming down sights. There was no reason to remove her hair. And why change the stockings? What was wrong with her stockings? Fortnite has multiple female outfits with fishnet stockings - "PG" arguments will fall on deaf ears.

And her belt chain? Changing the chain links from hoops to squares seems arbitrary AF. It was the chain that gave me the passing thought: "This is the behavior of an artist that got smitten by someone else's design, but doesn't want to get accused of stealing... but also really really doesn't want to give credit, either".I'm not against those that get smitten. I have gotten smitten. You cannot fight the smitten - you can only crawl for months - if not years - making changes that you will only ever 70 percent comfortable be with until you just...get used to your abomination, to the sacrilege you've committed against someone else's perfect design, just to make it "your own" and avoid cancelation, (Or in my case, I just didn't know how to 3D mesh, but IMVU allows what's essentially crude kitbashing. I know what my global PFP was supposed to be)... ...But those are little artist problems. It's just weird that a big company would do this while little artists are literally throwing their designs at you to be rendered. Then the possibility struck me: All of Epic's misses are deliberate, but for entirely legal reasons. Possible reasons:

1. Fear of Future Royalty Demands

Artists are human. Sometimes, those humans want money. Sometimes, even when humans agree on how much money should be exchanged for a good or service, (even if it is no money at all), some of those humans still want more money. They will take you to court to get said money.

In a somewhat related tidbit, I vaguely remember VivziePop, the creator of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, was once quoted as saying that she won't allow cameos of her fan's OCs in her shows specifically for this reason.

Legal issues can be an annoying little thing that can dismantle an empire. Epic is no different.

Epic might be "missing" the mark on purpose with its concept art in order to meet some nebulous" internet common law"  "30% Rule" in order to protect themselves later down the road.

The laws around art are changing, which bring me to my next proposed reason for missing the mark:

1. Fear of AI

Now, please hear me out: I am not accusing any community concept artists of doing anything. I'm just saying that in the age of AI, the possibility of this happening is becoming more likely.

It is entirely possible that some of the concepts presented to Epic could be AI-generated. I am not saying the concept art themselves are AI, mind you - I'm guessing by the consistent art style used in the surveys, that these images are all rendered in-house by the same team at Epic (But hell - someday, I could be wrong on that assumption).

I'm suggesting the general designs could be AI generated.

Is design separate from the art depicting that design? I dunno. I'm not a lawyer. IMO, seeing as how most AI models at the time of writing struggle to create a consistent character sheet, I would think not. Design requires consistency, which most models seem to lack.

In the US, AI-generated images cannot obtain copyright protection - not without some human element.

If Epic makes the mistake of accepting a concept from the community that turns out to originate from an AI generation, they run the risk of losing the rights to said character.

Epic HAS to make human changes to the concept art, in order to cover their arses from bad actors in the future.

I just wish they were visually "good" changes.

Ok. That's the end of that theory-essay. Time to go shower and gently pet my plants

Hello there on this fine Christmas eve. Originally, by now we'd be completing wrath's story and having warm fuzzy character moments by now, but my throat and headaches- mainly throat illness weren't letting go.

Bleak horizon will launch very, very soon. Miraculous 19/20 should also launch today as well as my pre made randy cunningham 12. I'm hoping to finish wrath's arc before new years, so we get happy moments again. First, the O.A reckoning must occur. Which does remind me:

I'm not expecting any really big numbers, but I'm at the point where I'm expecting hardly any at all.

P.S. that image is the official Lego bumpy dino. She's adorable. 50 votes, and I'll make it my new pfp in all social media I have.

Question: In the Weapon X lab, we see Slone and Jones on the screens. What are they doing there?

Luckily, I have a theory. I believe that Slone made Weapon X out of a Snapshot of Logan, before the adamantium enhancements, and made him into something that could help her reclaim the island for the IO. However, Peely was also being experimented on (via the banana peel in one of the test chambers), causing Jones to recruit Magneto to free his friend, inadvertently releasing Weapon X upon the island. Doesn't explain why Jones is on the screen, but I believe Slone is on the screen because she directed the experiment on both Peely and Logan.

Game Theory: Fortnite's Default Skins are Taking Over the World, OUR WORLD (Fortnite ARG)

[moonlightrift]

theory time

If Kinetic Ore glows the same way as the CUBEs when struck, and they're using it to power the Rift Gate, which thanks to AMIEs test, we know leads to The Last Reality in some way.. Is this proof the CUBEs are made from Kinetic Ore?

[snakegills]

is there a particular reason you hate montague or do you just have a grudge against the french? /gen

So i know I'm a hungry hungry hypocrite when I talk about Montague considering I wrote 71k words detailing a story in which he gets a happy ending and then say I hate him because it's true. I didn't write YAKATT (damn did not expect that acronym to look good) because I like Montague. I wrote it because I had a story to tell and that story involved a villain getting a happier ending than he deserves because people generally contain multitudes and there is always something about someone that you can understand. Even if I choose to make it up for fortnite man

That being said, i dislike Montague because he is a yuppie who uses his power to oppress what he considers the lower class. As a native american woman who grew up in poverty,  it leaves a certain distaste in my mouth that will never go away or change. I think the society needs more haters, especially in the fortnite Fandom bcs I find the love of the society and general ambivalence to the underground odd considering it is SUCH a cut and dry story of evil vs good. Not that we have to love heroes for being heros but yknow, grew up poor can't respect a yuppie yadda yadda. At the end of the day tho it is fortnite and I really don't care if others like Montague/the society, hell *I* like the version of Montague i made up in my fic. It's fun to hate on a guy who deserves it and is not real and is also French

Tl;DR: its fun to be a hater and ive chosen Montague. Sorry for the long winded response

I havta write em down when I wake up, so most of da time it’s a jumbled mess… but You’re always in these dreams I have.. I find it so weird, since I’ve had these dreams for awhile. I never really knew what it meant. I know that we were friends… close friends.. i… den something happened and……
