A recently uncovered voice line suggests that The Vision could be the next Marvel Comics character to be featured as a playable character skin in Fortnite. This isn't the first time that gamers will see The Vision in a game. The Vision has also been featured in a small handful of Marvel-based computer games throughout the long term, with his most recent appearance being in 2019's Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order.
Marvel has lent several of its most iconic and relevant characters to Fortnite throughout the long term, to the point where some players are starting to become tired of Epic adding too many comic book heroes and villains to its roster of character skins. The most recent influx of Marvel Fortnite guest characters started with the consistently famous Spider-Man at the beginning of Season 3, bringing with him his trusty web-shooters and a swinging mechanic that many players feel is actually superior to the ones featured in games like Marvel's Avengers. His insane chief nemesis the Green Goblin would come to Fornite in short request, trailed by Doctor Strange and The Prowler as part of Fortnite's new Season 3 Chapter 2 content. Fortnite's upcoming Marvel comic book crossover has some fans guessing that the tech-savvy Princess Shuri could be joining them, and considerably more leaks have guaranteed that Miles Morales could be swinging into Fortnite as well.
Presently, a seemingly random line of exchange uncovered by Twitter user and Fornite news seeker ShiinaBR hints that The Vision could be entering the multiplayer battle royale fight as well. Apparently, assuming a player speaks to the Metal Team Leader NPC with a Doctor Strange skin prepared, she will ask about Strange's "Synthezoid companion," an apparent reference to The Vision. While nothing official has been confirmed or even suggested by Epic at this time, some fans are starting to wonder assuming this line is a hint at future character skins based on The Vision or even his longtime love interest The Scarlet Witch.
While Marvel has been seeing the lion's share of guest appearances in Fortnite as of late, there have been plenty of character skins based on gaming characters like Aloy of Horizon Forbidden West, Ezio Auditore from the previous Assassin's Creed games, and Kratos of God Of War acclaim. Other Fortnite crossovers have included characters from famous TV shows like Rick And Morty, individual comic book publisher DC Comics, and even genuine celebrities like Ariana Grande and Lebron James. Fortnite's resident super-solider The Foundation would ultimately pull back his helmet to uncover the face and voice of renowned wrestler-turned-Hollywood uber star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and he is currently set to join forces with the X-Men in the aforementioned Fortnite/Marvel crossover comic.
Regardless of how one feels about Fortnite's abundance of characters from Marvel and DC, there's no denying that these crossover skins are quite well known among the game's fanbase. Assuming a seemingly throwaway line from the Metal Team Leader is of any indication, The Vision might just be the next Marvel legend to save the day in Fortnite.
