The new issue of Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War features an appearance from Doctor Doom, one of the most notorious villains from the Marvel universe. Doctor Doom is best known for being the Fantastic Four’s greatest antagonist, but he frequently fights with the larger Marvel universe. He is an incredibly layered character that has been to hell and back, literally, resulting in him being a seminal Marvel character. Although he has done some good, he is typically seen as a villain, and it appears that the new Fortnite comic may call upon both sides of him.
