2-A Fortnite. No, this is not a joke.

According to Donny Cates, one of the creators and writers of the "Devourer King" run of Thor comics (Thor Vol. 6 #1-#6) and Nexus War #1, on Twitter,

Yes, It's the proper 616 Thor and Galactus from @NicKlein and I's Thor run. But then they go through a dimensional rift and into the world of FORTNITE.
So, yes. This all really happened.

The official Twitter of Marvel also suggests that Nexus War does fit within the 616 continuity, specifically during Thor Vol. 6 #4.
The Nexus War comic also references Thor Vol. 6 #1 after declaring Thor the Herald of Thunder.

The page at the end of Wolverine #5 shows Logan being wisped away by a rainbow-themed beam of light directed to him by someone with a suspiciously Asgardian font. In Nexus War #1, Sif answers Thor's plead for help and utilizes the Bifrost in order to summon a group of Marvel heroes and villains.

Feats displayed in the comics​

• The Black Winter would bring the death of all reality, and Galactus would be able to prevent it after eating "five special planets"
• The Zero Point possesses "infinite power" according to Galactus
• Thor has the Power Cosmic and the Odinforce coursing through his veins
• Thor's Ravens travel "across the universe" in the time it takes for a raindrop to fall

Jonesy injured Thor with his Shotgun, and the cast of Fortnite took several attacks from Thor while he was in an enraged and frenzied state.
And, the Players can fight against Galactus in the Battle Bus, even after he absorbed the Zero Point.

Aside from this, given the amount of explicit statements and implications, Nexus War should apply for Canon crossovers, meaning that the Fortnite characters would be 2-A scaling off of Herald of Thunder Thor and a Well-Fed Galactus.

sounds like outliers to me, For the players, unless they are boosted during the event or something

What did Galactus do?

 

[KieranH10]

There are multiple inconsistencies with Nexus War supposedly being canon to Marvel 616.

First off, Galactus' design changes slightly between Marvel and Fortnite, already indicating that this is a different Galactus. The designers could have very easily used Galactus' canon design during the comic for his appearance in Fortnite, but chose not to.

It also just kinda doesn't add up, in the event Galactus takes weeks to get to the island, only to be forced back through a rift to go back to his original reality. But the comic seemingly treats it differently. It just doesn't seem like the Nexus War Event took place with the main 616 Galactus.

Sure, the event could be canon to Marvel, but it doesn't seem like this is 616 Galactus, rather some other similar Galactus.

Thor being harmed by Fortnite Players is either an Outlier, or much more likely, this Thor is also not Canon Marvel Thor, so should only scale to his own feats. Which puts him at like tier 8 at most. Much like other heroes that got skins and powers in-game.

Likewise, the players tanking blasts from Thor are also either Outliers, or again more likely, this Thor is simply different.

As for the players harming Galactus with the Battle Bus, that's just wrong... Nothing the player could do would harm Galactus, Tony himself stated we couldn't do anything to him. But, countless Battle Busses could stagger Galactus and managed to push him through a portal, but we don't know if they did any major harm or just simply moved him, so that's also not worth a lot.

Zero Point having infinite power isn't really worth much tbh, could be High 3-A without more context.

Thor still likely isn't 616 Thor, so Odinforce doesn't mean anything.

I guess that would be valid for this Thor's Ravens. But that's about it.

Also, we generally don't use crossover feats unless both works are owned by the same writers/creators, as otherwise brand restrictions get in the way of the feats actually being viable.

Both Nexus War and Thor (2020) are published by Marvel and written by the same Donny Cates.
And, Donny Cates confirms that the Thor and the Galactus in Fortnite are the prime 616 versions and states that "[Nexus War] really happened".
Unless you want to argue Death of the Author, there is not much to refute this.

 

[KieranH10]

Pretty much everything in the event contradicts it being 616 Galactus and Thor tho. So yeah, I'm calling that Donny Cates is incorrect with this one fra.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Death of the Author is pretty easy to call on Marvel thanks to just how many people have written for it tbh.

 

[Confluctor]

I remember when Cates tweeted that and asked him about how that continuity is ignored. He then replied with it "It's comics".

But honestly 2A fortnite seems so wrong especially since Cates is involved. Dude has a terrible sense of power scaling. It's just all over the place and nothing make sense.

You can kill Thor with Storm, Doctor Doom, Wolverine etc in gameplay

2-A Everyone? I say y e h
