Fortnite is adding a huge DC Comics name to their lineup next week

Fortnite is making sure that Chapter 3, Season 4 hits all the right notes.
Chapter 3, Season 3 is almost over, and Fortnite fans won’t have to wait much longer for the start of the fourth season of Chapter 3. The next season is expected to start in about three weeks’ time, with Chapter 4 going live on Sept. 18, 2022. That date may always change but that’s the unofficial-official release date of the next chapter.
With rumors abound over all sorts of things to expect over the coming weeks, one of which may involve the arrival of Doom Guy, it appears as though Fortnite is doing everything it can to help bolster the arrival of the upcoming season.
One of those may include the arrival of fan-favorite DC Comics character, Starfire. A new leak has the DC Comics character arriving on Sept. 2, though no cosmetics have been announced. There’s also no word if she’ll be joined by any other of her Titan colleagues. Nor do we know what iteration of Starfire is actually coming. It’s expected to be the Teen Titans cartoon version but that’s not yet confirmed.
Starfire is most well known for her time with the American anime Teen Titans from the mid-2000s. She’s been given a few outings over the years, most recently in the DC Universe/HBO Max series Titans.
Who is Teen Titan’s Starfire?
Starfire, aka Princess Koriand’r is an alien from the planet Tamaran. She was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez in 1980, debuting in the 26th issue of DC Comics Presents. Despite the name of the comic, this was not only her introduction to the Teen Titans but the new version of the Teen Titans as a group.
The original group was created in the 1960s by Bob Haney and Bruno Permiani in the Brave and the Bold series. It would later go on to get its own book that would largely center around Robin, aka Dick Grayson.
The book would reach new heights in the 1980s, with what would be at the time the third revival of the brand. The title was most known for its introduction of Starfire and Cyborg, as well as Grayson’s second alter ego, Nightwing.
Due to the success of that era of the Titans, the three figures became huge, and Starfire would eventually land on the Top 25 DC Comics list of all time according to IGN, landing at 21st.
