Fortnite is finally adding Cyborg to its Teen Titans line-up, filling out the main roster from the classic 2003 cartoon in the process. While Fortnite doesn’t have nearly as many DC character skins as it does for Marvel, iconic heroes like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman have graced the Island to punish evildoers over the years. The most recent Fortnite crossover with DC was in honor of this month’s Superman movie, with the Man of Steel getting a pair of silver-screen-inspired new looks and Krypto the Superdog arriving to lend a helping paw to anyone offering him treats.
Meanwhile, the Teen Titans have seen plenty of representation in Fortnite, with Raven and Beast Boy being the first to appear in 2021. Raven, in particular, received three different skins inspired by her Rebirth costume, her classic attire, and a goth-style civilian outfit for her identity of Rachel Roth. Starfire then joined her teammates in September 2022, followed by Tim Drake in both his Robin and Red Robin personas earlier this year. This left only one member of the 2003 Teen Titans cartoon line-up, and now he is a part of Fortnite as well.

Fortnite’s Super Battle Pass Skins Make an Iconic DC Character the Odd One Out
Fortnite’s Chapter 6: Season 3 Battle Pass has added a DC character fans have been waiting for, but there is still one skin missing from a full set.
On July 20, Fortnite released its new Cyborg skin as part of Chapter 6 Season 3, and players can acquire it from the Item Shop for either 1,500 V-Bucks by itself or 1,700 V-Bucks as part of the new Cyborg Bundle. This version of Cyborg is largely themed after the one from the classic cartoon, with glowing blue panels on his head and arms. A LEGO version is also available to play as in LEGO Fortnite, and the designated bundle comes with a Cy’s Booster Pack Back Bling and a Booyah Emote.
Cyborg Joins the Rest of the Titans in Fortnite
As many Fortnite players and comic book fans have pointed out, Cyborg’s introduction doesn’t necessarily mean that the full 2003 Teen Titans team is complete. After all, the Robin Fortnite skin is based on Tim Drake rather than the original Dick Grayson, who helped found the team after parting ways with Batman and eventually adopted his Nightwing persona. Additionally, the only Raven skin currently available outside of a Battle Pass is her civilian attire, much to the dismay of those who would rather play as one of her superhero skins.
That isn’t to say that Fortnite won’t add a new Raven or Nightwing skin in the future, especially with the apparent focus on DC characters in Chapter 6 Season 3. In the meantime, fans who grew up watching Cyborg take down evil in either the old Teen Titans cartoon or any of his later appearances in movies, television, and video games can purchase his new Fortnite skin and jump into action alongside the other Teen Titans characters when there’s trouble on the Island.
