Superpowers

Superpowers are a special type of item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. These items grant the player abilities based on different Marvel superheroes and villains, as well as Predator. The first of these were added in Chapter 2: Season 4. All of the Superpowers are currently vaulted, with the exception of Spider-Man's Web Shooters.

Functionality
Superpowers fill various different roles, and are used for offense, mobility or support. Each superpower falls into one of these categories, and some of them offer multiple at once.


 * Main Abilities are presented in a square shape, with these weapons being used to attack opponents instead of a regular weapon. They have no cooldown.
 * Side Abilities are presented in an upside down triangle shape, with these abilities being used alongside other weaponry. These powers have a cooldown on them.
 * Support Abilities are presented in a circle shape, with these abilities being used to heal oneself, protect others or deflect attacks. These powers also have a cooldown.
 * Misc. Abilities aren't presented in a specific shape, and are things that don't necessarily fit the criteria of the other abilites. They may or may not have a cooldown.

Trivia

 * In Arena, the only Superpower that was available was Doctor Doom's Arcane Gauntlets.
 * Superpowers are only of rarity, however in Marvel Takeover and Marvel Standoff, the powers are actually of differing rarities, such as, , or.
 * The only Marvel character in the Chapter 2 - Season 4 Battle Pass to not get an associated ability was Mystique. An Unrelased Weapon named Mystique's Dual Machine Pistols were leaked, but never appeared in the game. They were likely cut due to them not following the same trend of Superpowers, as they would have been a regular Weapon instead of an ability.
 * These pistols would’ve likely make Mystique a boss on the Map. These would have also been the second dual-wielding Weapons (the first being Deadpool's Dual Hand Cannons.)
 * For an unknown reason, Thor's Mjolnir Strike and Storm's Whirlwind Blast were referred to as a consumable when viewed in the inventory, while no other Superpowers were.
 * This was likely a mistake by Epic Developers.
 * Predator's Cloaking Device was referred to as a power when viewed in the inventory, making it a Superpower.
 * This is the first and so far, the only Superpower to not be related to Marvel.
 * The Carnage Symbiote and the Venom Symbiote are the first Superpowers to have the exact same abilities.
 * They are upgraded versions of Venom’s Smash & Grab.
 * As of v18.00, The Carnage Symbiote and the Venom Symbiote are also not referred to as Powers, with no item classification whatsoever.
 * Epic Developers may have forgotten to add the classification.
 * As of v19.00, The Spider-Man's Web Shooters are not classed in the inventory as a power, with no item classification whatsoever.
 * Just like with the Carnage Symbiote and the Venom Symbiote, Epic may have just forgotten to add the classification.
