- [Narrator] The last time we made a skins in real life
video, you all seemed to really like it,
but there were loads of comments,
telling us that we had missed a whole bunch of references
in our list.
So because of that,
we decided to take a look at all of your comments
to see which ones made the most sense.
Hey, guys, Arcade Cloud here,
and today we're counting down our list of
ten more "Fortnite" characters in real life.
If you're new to our channel, go ahead and
subscribe and hit that bell.
Give this video a thumbs up and share it with some friends.
It's free.
Number ten: Leviathan, "Megamind".
The Leviathan skin is a pretty odd one.
Basically, what we have here is a fish inside of a fishbowl
that's been attached to a spacesuit
that lets it walk around on the land.
It was released as part of the Space Explorers set
and was bundled with the Fish Tank Back Bling.
Now, if you think you recognize this fishy character,
it's probably because you watched the 2010 superhero movie,
"Megamind", a movie about a blue alien refugee
and reformed supervillain.
Minion was Megamind's best friend
and was basically a fish in a suit,
just like the Leviathan skin in "Fortnite Battle Royale".
The "Fortnite" skin is a much slimmer suit,
but you can pretty much tell from the type of fish
that they're meant to basically be the same character.
Number nine: Carbide, Frozone.
When the character, Frozone from "The Incredibles",
was asking where his super suit was,
he probably didn't expect it to turn up many years later
in the game, "Fortnite".
Okay, now I don't 100% think that Frozone and Carbide
look exactly the same,
but you guys posted about it so often in our comments
that I really couldn't not put it in.
I suppose I can sort of see the similarities, though.
Both of them have the same color scheme going
with their outfits,
especially with the white arms and the blue body.
Number eight: Skull Trooper, "Karate Kid" Johnny Lawrence.
One reference that we can for sure say is in "Fortnite
Battle Royale" is the Skull Trooper skin.
This skin is clearly a reference to
the original "Karate Kid" movie,
in particular the scene where the main character is
chased by a bunch of bullies in Halloween costumes.
Now, you may think that skeleton costumes like this are
pretty much found everywhere, and you would be right.
The main distinctive feature about this type of
skeleton outfit is the white hood.
It's incredibly rare and is basically only found
in "Karate Kid",
which kinda implies that the
skin is a direct reference to the character in the movie.
Number seven: Zoey, Harley Quinn.
Are you ready for some candy-coated chaos?
Because Zoey is pretty much Harley Quinn.
And if you know anything about the "Batman" comics,
then you would know that Harley Quinn is
a notorious supervillain or
hero if you include her adventures with the Suicide Squad.
Now, in the comments a lot of people were saying that
Zoey is actually Vannelope Von Schweetz
from the famous animated film, "Wreck-It Ralph",
but when I look at Zoey, pretty much all I get is that
she's the candified version of Harley Quinn.
From the hair to the skirt, she just screams the same
personality and style as Harley Quinn does in the comics.
Number six: Leveled-up Carbide, Ironman.
So Carbide has already been on this list once,
but we kinda have to put him in twice
because of the nature of his skin.
Carbide is one of two skins that has the ability to
upgrade itself as you level up,
and a lot of commenters seem to think that
Carbide looks a whole lot like Ironman
when he's leveled up to his maximum.
Many people call this form of Carbide:
the Blue Ironman skin,
and, again, I guess I can see why.
As opposed to the slick skintight suit
he wears at the beginning,
his upgraded version really does look like
he's in some kind of powered mech-suit,
especially with the armored screen in front of his face.
He doesn't have some of the classic symbols of Ironman
like the Arc Reactor on his chest,
but enough people mentioned it, and it's close enough
that we thought we would mention it in this video.
Number five: The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe, Paragon, Nevermore.
That's the classic call of the raven in Edgar Allan Poe's
classic poem, "The Raven",
and it's also the name of the set that the "Fortnite
Battle Royale" Raven skin is from.
But allusions to old writers isn't the only thing that
the Raven skin references.
The whole skin is actually a reference to another game
by Epic Games.
I am, of course, talking about the game, "Paragon",
which has since been shut down by the company
because "Fortnite" basically stole all the players
from the rest of their content.
The Revenant was a ranged assassin in "Paragon"
and had a skin that looked just like the Raven
if you managed to get to master with him.
From the feathers to the glowing purple eyes,
there's no question that the Raven
from "Fortnite Battle Royale" and the Revenant master skin
are basically the same character.
Number four: Renegade Raider, Tank Girl.
You probably wouldn't expect a skin
as simple as the Renegade Raider
to be a reference to anything,
but that's where you'd be wrong.
"Tank Girl" is a British comic published by Titan Comics,
which went into production back in 1988.
It follows the story of Tank Girl, obviously,
real name Rebecca Buck, as she drives a tank,
which also happens to be her home.
Move over, tiny houses, we got tanks now.
She takes on a bunch of missions for an evil, secret
organization, but eventually gets thrown out
for a whole bunch of reasons.
From here, this punky comic follows her and her boyfriend,
Booga, who also happens to be a mutant kangaroo.
Tank Girl became pretty popular at the time
and was in publication for five years total
between '88 and '93.
The character is faded these days,
and pretty much no one remembers her.
Well, except for the people who play as the Renegade Raider
in "Fortnite".
Number three: The Black Knight, Monty Python.
If you only take 25 damage in "Fortnite",
can you basically call it a flesh wound?
Because if I was using the Black Knight's skin,
that's exactly what I would be doing.
If you don't get it, "It's just a flesh wound",
is one of the most iconic quotes from a character
called the Black Knight.
If that name sounds familiar to you,
it's because "Fortnite" literally used pretty much
the same exact character in the Season Two Battle Pass.
You can unlock the Black Knight character
at Season Pass Level 70,
and it looked exactly like the Black Knight
from Monty Python's famous film, "The Holy Grail".
The most iconic part of this character,
other than the fact that his armor is completely black,
is the bright red crest on his chest.
Now the Black Knight skin in "Fortnite"
doesn't really have a red crest on his chest,
but he does have a smear of red where the crest should be,
almost as if the character's been in a bloody fight,
and that's all that remains of his enemy.
Either way, this character's a clear reference
to the Black Knight from Monty Python.
Number 2: Liteshow, Light Balance Dance Group.
The Liteshow and Nitelite skins
are new editions to "Fortnite Battle Royale",
and they're basically two different skins
that are covered from head-to-toe
in glow-in-the-dark ink, making them brightly shine
in a whole bunch of really cool colors.
I'm pretty sure that these guys are a reference to the
"America's Got Talent" act Light Balance.
These guys are a dance troupe from the Ukraine,
who are now based in London,
and are most well-known for all of their appearances
on competition shows.
Their style is pretty much the same as the skins
in "Fortnite" with big, bold colors, covering their bodies.
Their dance moves are really awesome, too,
earning them fourth place in "Britain's Got Talent"
and third in "America's Got Talent".
While they may never have won in the televised talent shows,
they must have at least captured an Epic Games' developer
eye because the skins are totally a reference,
and, I mean, if you make it in one of the biggest games
on the planet, I would count that as a win.
Number one: Omega, The Black Panther.
So we've already mentioned Carbide twice now, but--
Okay, no, I'm just joking.
We're not talking about him again.
This time we're talking about Omega.
You get Omega by getting to Tier 100 in the Battle Pass,
and even though he's meant to be a villain,
this un-upgraded suit just looks like Black Panther.
Well, actually that's a bit of a lie,
but I'd have to say spoilers
for "Black Panther" are totally ahead.
In "Black Panther", there were actually two suits.
The one King T'Challah wears
and the one that the evil Killmonger wears.
T'Challah's Black Panther suit has purple trims,
but Killmonger's are already orange,
and that looks a lot like Omega.
That would make even more sense, too,
because Killmonger is a villain,
and Omega is meant to be a villain, too.
And there you have it,
our second list of ten "Fortnite" characters in real life.
