Most distinguished and famous Fortnite characters

12) Cube Queen

The Cube Queen made waves with her villainy at the end of Chapter 2. Her time seemed short-lived, but she made an impact with her minions running amock on the island. There is no doubt that if she returns in Chapter 3, she'll move up the list.

11) Peely

Peely is a divisive character. Some fans love him, and others are downright terrified. No matter the reaction, it made this strange humanoid banana one of the more talked about figures in the game, especially after turning him into a smoothie.

10) Galactus

Galactus was ready to devour the island like he had so many worlds before it. He may have been the most significant threat Fortnite has ever seen. It took Thor and the Avengers to stop him, and who knows how things would have gone if they hadn't.

9) Iron Man

Iron Man was the leading scientist behind stopping Galactus' assault. His popularity carried over from Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal in the MCU. As soon as he was revealed as a part of Fortnite, fans erupted with cheers.

8) Meowscles

Meowscles is similar to Peely. This giant cat had cat-lovers filled with joy when it entered the game. Others find it disturbing because it is so ripped. That got fans talking about it, though, meaning Epic Games did their job.

7) Dr. Slone

Some feel Dr. Slone is the current "big bad" of Fortnite. Of course, she feels her work is being done for the greater good. After she betrayed the player during the alien invasion, Dr. Slone was the talk of the internet.

6) Spider-Man

Rumors of Spider-Man were everywhere before Chapter 3. With No Way Home hitting theaters and the wall-crawler joining the battle royale, it is hard to find another time where Spidey was more popular.

5) Batman

Batman is another superhero with an important role in Fortnite. Fans went wild when he was added to the game, but he was even more talked about when given a spin-off comic about The Zero Point.

4) Midas

Midas is the most famous villain in the battle royale. He caused more chaos than any other and has seen several different skins. No one believes he is gone for good, and he'll only be more popular when he returns.

3) The Visitor

The Visitor was the first true "talked about" character. He crashed into Dusty Depot, escaped from the meteor, and launched the rocket that created the rifts. Now revealed as a member of the Seven, the mystery behind him has players talking about him even more.

2) Jonesy

Jonesy, Agent Jones, John Jones, whatever you want to call him, he is one of the most talked about characters in the history of Fortnite. He started as a default skin but now is at the forefront of the entire story, seemingly the main character.

1) The Foundation

The Foundation was talked about quite a bit when he first appeared. Then, he was revealed to be played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. That skyrocketed his popularity and got him a giant statue on the Fortnite island. It'll be a long time before any surpasses The Rock.
