The recent addition of the Absolute Doom event in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 has introduced a variety of comic book-inspired skins and mythics. However, players were surprised to discover Easter Eggs featuring Marvel vs. Capcom.
Fans of the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise will surely appreciate these two throwbacks found by observant players. The initial Easter Egg, uncovered by perceptive fans, showcases a move used by Doombot that pays homage to the beloved fighting game.

In Chapter 5 Season 4 of Fortnite, the boss performs a move where he planks and thrusts his feet at the player. This action is reminiscent of the move seen in a screenshot of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, where Doom also executes the same maneuver.
Fans of this fighting-game franchise responded with joy to this discovery, with one commenter even noting, “This is probably the closest we’ve ever been to an actual MVC4.”
The video of the secret Iron Man bunker, shared by NickEh30, was also referenced by the majority of replies as a potential hint towards a Marvel vs. Capcom reveal in Chapter 5 Season 4.

When streamer NickEh30 revealed the appearance of the secret Iron Man bunker, he and his viewers noted that the television inside the bunker was displaying a game that bore a striking resemblance to Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
The comments on this video were equally amazed by the intricate Iron Man fan hideout. Despite being a subtle reference to the popular fighting game, it reflects the developers’ passion for Marvel, just like that of the players.
With the discovery of two distinct references to the vintage combat game, it wouldn’t be unexpected for a third hidden gem to surface. As the Absolute Doom event has only just begun, anticipate the unveiling of additional Easter Eggs.
