Fortnite has become a melting pot of crossovers and collaborations from all walks of life - Geralt of Rivia, Eren Yeager, and even superheroes from the DCU and MCU are present in-game. However, when it comes to modern-day misfits, the community at large has been begging Epic Games for a collaboration with The Boys. Given how popular the show has become, everyone wants to cosplay as their favorite hero.

Recently, three characters from The Boys were added to Warzone 2 at the start of the new season. Suffice it to say, the community was heartbroken as this meant that these IPs would not come to Fortnite anytime soon. Usually, when a particular collaboration occurs in one game, the same is not executed in another. Thankfully, one leaker/data miner came to the rescue in a huge way.

With an official collaboration being out of the question, leaker/data miner ponyraee, took the initiative to port Homelander & Black Noir into the game. Although these Outfits are from Warzone 2, they fit perfectly into Fortnite. If one were to not know any better, these could be considered official Outfits. That being said, while Black Noir looks a bit funky, Homelander looks perfect.

Then again, Outfits like Homelander are not unique per se. Given that other characters such as Superman and Black Adam have been featured in-game, seeing him float in the background is not something new. Nevertheless, the ports look amazing, even though they were not made for Fortnite. Here's what a few users had to say about the Outfits:

As seen from the comments, users are overwhelmed with this port. Given how popular The Boys has become, nothing less was to be expected. On that note, one has to wonder when Epic Games will get on the bandwagon and collaborate with them. The idea is truly fascinating, and it would likely be a win-win situation for everyone involved. However, as things stand, this collaboration may never happen.


The Boys collaboration in Fortnite may never come to pass, here's why

Simply put, The Boys is not a PG-13 show. The content is violent, adult-themed to an extent, and filled with gore. While certain collaborations such as John Wick and Batman were also not PG-13, The Boys take things to new extremes. This is the main reason why a collaboration may not be possible even in the future.

It's hard to tell how far Epic Games is willing to push the boundaries when it comes to collaborations. Maybe a few years down the line, issues like these will not matter, but for the time being, The Boys will not be coming to the metaverse anytime soon.
