Overview

Bluevin the Cube[1][2] is a rogue Corruption Cube who was Rebooted by Loopers and sided with them in the war against The Last Reality, rebelling against its mother and siblings.

Bluevin is a major character in Fortnite: Battle Royale, initially serving as a supporting antagonist, before turning a protagonist.

Personality

Personality[]

Originally as malevolent and destructive as its siblings, Bluevin underwent a transformation after being rebooted by the very Loopers it had once sought to destroy. Grateful for their intervention, it turned against its own faction—betraying its mother and siblings—to become a protective force for those who had saved it. Although its true intentions and thought process remain shrouded in mystery, Bluevin consistently sought to aid the Loopers. It first attempted to save them from the impending destruction of the Mothership after Doctor Slone’s betrayal, and later defended them during the assault of The Last Reality. Ultimately, Bluevin fought until the very end, sacrificing its life to ensure their survival.

Appearance

Appearance[]

Initially, Bluevin was identical to the other Cubes. However, when The Looper Rebooted it alongside the other members of IO Strike Team, all evil was purified from it, turning it Blue and altering its personality.

History

History[]

Operation: Sky Fire[]

Rebooting Cube - Operation Sky Fire - Fortnite

A Corruption Cube was sent to the Abduction Chamber Window by The Last Reality to eliminate The Looper and their team in order to cut off Doctor Slone's plan. It rose from the water, and started zapping the loopers, but Slone weaponized Loopers' Alien Jetpacks and made the cube dormant. After Slone betrayed the Loopers and left them to die on the mothership, they touched The Cube to reboot it which turned it Blue. It then activated the elevator, moved the loopers far away from the bombs and revealed the Cube chamber. Slone's bombs detonated, and it fell to Apollo just like the other cubes.

Chapter 2: Season 8[]

Blue Cube (Overload) - Entity - Fortnite

Blevin's arrival in Camp Cod resulted in the land becoming a 'Friendly Forest' due to its power, which no longer takes life but instead gives it. Before The End, it formed a shield around the Guava Fort to protect the the Loopers as The Cube Queen and The Last Reality began their assault. However, the shield was eventually destroyed by the onslaught of shots from the waves of Saucers.

Then, Caretakers were summoned through a Cube Barricade by The Cube Queen and some time of resistances from Loopers and Blevin, the warriors had their weapons abducted by the Saucers, before being left at the mercy of the Caretakers and Saucers, slaughtered one by one. Blevin, trying to protect them met its end at the hands of an Abductor under the sadistic laughter of its mother. However, the Bluevin's demise was not in vain, as it gave The Seven enough time to save some of the Loopers, flip the Island and defeat the Cube Queen and stop the assault of the Last Reality.

After The Looper was sent drifting into the ocean, after the flipside, a fragment of Blevin encountered them, unconscious.
