Midnight
Correction: This character does not exist in official Fortnite canon.
There is no canon character named 'Midnight' in the Fortnite universe. This entry previously described a fabricated entity; however, the source does not mention any character named Midnight or any events from Fortnite Chapter 4: Season 2. The source focuses entirely on the life and career of Imane Anys (Pokimane), a Moroccan and Canadian online streamer, YouTuber, and influencer based in California, who is best known for gameplay and commentary livestreams on Twitch, most notably in Valorant and Fortnite.

Lore & Background
The source provides no information about any character named 'Midnight' in Fortnite. It does not discuss Fortnite lore, Chapter 4: Season 2, The Seven, The Imagined Order, The Zero Point, or any antagonist. The only mention of Fortnite in the source relates to Pokimane's streaming career: she first streamed Fortnite as part of a sponsorship, participated in an Epic Games pro–am event at E3 2018 paired with basketball player Josh Hart, addressed declining Fortnite streams on her channel in March 2019, and announced her own official Fortnite emote on 19 January 2020.
In Their Own Story
The source does not contain any narrative about a character named Midnight emerging from fissures, a bruised purple sky, or any confrontation involving heroes. The only story elements present are from Pokimane's real-life experiences: she created her Twitch account in June 2013, began streaming after reaching Platinum rank in League of Legends, gained 450,000 followers in 2017, and was named Best Twitch Streamer of the year by the Shorty Awards. She also had a cameo appearance in a League of Legends trailer.
Reader's Guide
The source offers no guidance on playing as or against a character named Midnight in Fortnite. It does not describe any powers, abilities, or gameplay mechanics related to shadow manipulation or reality distortion. The only gameplay-related information is that Pokimane streams gameplay and commentary of Fortnite, and that she has interacted with her audience during streams, with Digital Trends describing her 'laidback but enthusiastic personality' as 'perfectly suited to long-form streams.'

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Midnight in Fortnite?
There is no official character named Midnight within the Fortnite universe or its storyline. This entry was previously based on fabricated information that does not align with Epic Games' canon.
What are Midnight's powers or abilities?
Since this entity never existed in the game, there are no canonical powers or skills associated with them. Any descriptions of abilities found online are part of a lore error rather than actual gameplay mechanics.
When did Midnight first appear in the game?
Midnight has never appeared in any Fortnite season, battle pass, or live event. Claims regarding their debut during Chapter 4 Season 2 are incorrect and not supported by official records.
Is Midnight part of a specific faction like The Last Reality?
No factions named The Last Reality or Shadow Forces exist in the official Fortnite narrative. These groups were invented as part of the misinformation surrounding this non-existent character.
Why is there confusion about this character?
The name was mistakenly linked to content involving streamer Imane Anys, also known as Pokimane, who plays Fortnite but is not a lore character herself. This encyclopedia entry corrects that distinction between real-life influencers and in-game entities.
