Overwatch players want Reinhardt’s skin: Overwatch has only offered cross-skin options based upon other Blizzard properties. However, many players are pushing for outfits inspired by Marvel heroes.
An Overwatch player has asked for Reinhardt Thor. He also shared a fantastic piece of art that showcases the outfit’s potential.
Creative Overwatch fans, as mentioned previously, have advocated for a Marvel crossover a few times, demonstrating the potential of the cosmetics through fan art and skin designs.
One-off creations such as the one that shows Widowmaker transforming to Spider-Gwen have been part of this trend, as has a collection of art pieces by Xtremee_ghost.
This piece is from the Marvelwatch Madness collection, which recently viral on Reddit.
Reddit user and OverwatchfanSoft_Realistic asked for Reinhardt to get a Thor skin. He said that it would “suit him perfectly.” Both characters use hammers to their great advantage in combat.

Both heroes are proud warriors and share similar loud personalities. Soft_Realistic also shared a mockup of Xtremee_ghost’s collection of Marvel skin designs.
Reinhardt’s Thor design sees the Tank hero as the model. This is fitting considering Reinhardt’s long blonde hair. Mjolnir is the most famous weapon used by Thor.
Stormbreaker, however, would be a better choice for Reinhardt skins as it’s much more significant and would fit the hero’s tall frame.
Reinhardt-Thor can see Lightning in Reinhardt’s eyes. The Stormbreaker ax has a red cape and intricate armor fitting the God of Thunder. Reinhardt crown with Thor’s iconic helmet.
This art piece also includes mockups of Brigitte, Torbjorn, and other Norse-based Marvel characters. Brigitte transformed into Lady Thor by Jane Foster’s iconic winged helmet, red cape, and winged helmet.
Torbjorn is transformed into Odin by fan art, which gives him gold armor and horns. It’s nice to see old Marvel art get some love, even though it has been a while.
The positive comments and upvotes also show that there is still a lot of interest in a Marvel crossover event.
Although it is not clear if Blizzard will allow crossovers when Overwatch II comes out, it is something that fans want to happen. This fan art shows Reinhardt as Thor.
Overwatch is now available on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
