I’m something of a modder myself

It’s taken mere days since the release ofMarvel’s Spider-Man Remasteredon PC for players to crack open the game and noodle with its insides. Thus far the result is a slew of reskin mods which let you replace Spidey with other characters and play while looking like Kingpin, Miles Morales, Mary Jane, or - as pictured above - Stan Lee.

Note that these really are just reskins, and are designed to replace one of the alternate outfits you can put on Spider-Man in-game. You might be able to look like Vulture, but you’ll still have Peter Parker’s standard abilities.

Still, after years of replacingGrand Theft Autoprotagonists with models of Marvel characters, it’s nice to do the same in an actual Marvel game. I’d recommendKingpin,Norman Osborn,Mary Jane,Vulture, all by Robin, plusMiles MoralesandPeter Park in a labcoatby tiffsomniac,Harry Osbornby Exilekk (made better by the pole glitched through his head),Blackcatby GraviT, andRhinoby JPSkywalker98.

Most of all I’d recommendStan Lee, also by Robin, because who better to school young punks in Spider-Man Remastered’s many melee fights.

All of these mods are available via Nexus Mods and you’ll also needthe Spider-Man PC Modding Toolby jedijosh920 in order to install them. The tool allows you to “extract and replace any asset in the game’s asset archives”. There are instructions on where you need to place each asset file through on the Nexus Mods pages.

If you missed it before now, Spider-Man Remastered came to PC last week andis a grand time, according to Alice. Mods make everything a little grander, according to me.
