Fortnite has revived the classic Wolverine meme to subtly hint at its upcoming skin related to characters introduced this season. This article explores the meme and provides a first look at the new addition to the game.
In the Absolute Doom season, Fortnite received its significant update on September 4, which introduced two new mythic weapons and Doom quests. Data miners, like HYPEX, uncovered skins from the game files, including one themed around Sabretooth, featured in the season teaser.
The new skin, dubbed Meowtooth, merges the Marvel villain Sabretooth with the Fortnite character Meowscles.
What captivated fans was Epic’s clever use of the Wolverine meme trend, originating from the X-Men animated series, to tease the new outfit on their X page. The illustration showcases Peelverine’s hands above a portrait of Meowtooth, intended to be his most formidable foe.

Marvel enthusiasts quickly recognized the image and shared their excitement for the new character’s debut in the comments. One fan commented, “We will be together soon.” Another exclaimed, “I can’t wait, I literally can’t wait for it.”
On the other hand, some users responded with funny GIFs and memes. One requested a Shawarma-themed Iron Man skin, while others inquired about the release date for another leaked skin, Black Cat.
Epic has introduced a variety of original Marvel concept skins in the current season’s Battle Pass, filled with heroes and villains. However, this season has yet to capture the magic of Chapter 2 Season 4, which featured comic-accurate skins in the Battle Pass.
Additionally, three more updates are planned for this season, featuring returning LTMs, new mythic weaponry, and more Marvel characters joining the Fortnite universe.
