So here’s the deal. The moment the Fortnite player finally got the Superman unlock for the account, that was when the game truly scorned him. The clip, which u/CelestialCam_ shared, is the moment in which everything goes awry. Instantly tragic to be-going through: the ability activates; animation begins. The game just froze there. No fancy flying; no grand rescue—just that utmost snub from the Fortnite gods.
Gamers in the comment section were NOT sugarcoating it! One, Triumph Games, humorously exclaimed, “Even Superman has kryptonite,” while another, PocketGlave, attested to how useless the ability was after nearly all of their health got stripped away in the middle of the cutscene. And honestly? Could not have put it better. Imagine putting in tons of time grinding for that unlock to be met with a bug.
The responses went from rage to the fully comedic. Some of the others uninstalled the game outright, with SwayArtz citing, “It’s dumb bs.” Moreover, Chief said that they would be “1000% justified” to ragequit and smash their setup. Then you got Kapisch who was just flabbergasted that Superman would be in Fortnite to begin with. Fair enough. The game got some really wild collabs in it by now.
…But here’s the thing: These glitches that keep showing up in Fortnite aren’t that new. From the very first day, bizarre bugs have interrupted us. This one, though? It’s just on another level of disrespect. As Anonymous B.S remarked, “Even Krypton wouldn’t pull that level of disrespect.” How true! Where Superman should be unstoppable, the coders of Fortnite staunchly disagree.
Subsequent to that clip emerged much debate over the game itself. JK_316 asked if Fortnite is “even a game anymore or just an animated storefront,” and truly? That might very well be thought about. Skin after skin, crazily unexpected crossovers, and now, a buggy-ass ability to top it all off; it’s almost impossible to keep up with anything.
The weird frustration aside, some gamers did find humor in the situation. Ai-Mi said, “He unlocked Supercap instead of Superman,” while MrUnknown.eth observed the irony: “Always saving the world but can’t even save himself from game bugs.”
These are just good old-styled Fortnite shenanigans. One minute you are hyped to finally use a legendary ability; the next, you are staring at a frozen screen wondering why you even bother anymore. Will Epic Games fix it? Most likely. But till then, gamers are stuck with the most unstoppable villain yet—glitches.
If you have been thinking about going for the Superman unlock yourself, might want to wait for a patch. Or just accept that Fortnite’s real final boss is these pesky bugs. Either way, good luck out there; clearly, there is no help even for the superheroes.
