Spider-Man and The Foundation are the clear masthead mascots forFortniteChapter 3’s first Season. There are plans to add other Spider-Man-related content this Season in the Item Shop as well.
Fortniteplayers are told to “look out for new Spideys” later on in the Season, which likely refers to alternate costume skins from the source material.
