The modding scene forMarvel’s Spider-Man: Remasteredhas so far focused overwhelmingly on the wall-crawler himself, with character mods coming thick-and fast. It’s not always producing the most aesthetically pleasing results:Saul Goodman’s character modelperched atop a skyscraper doesn’t look cool so much as like something from a J-horror flick.
But all the modders can pack up and go home, because no-one’s going to top the latest addition of Kermit the Frog,by one TangoTed. The beloved everyman muppet character fits into this world freakishly well, and unlike many of the more human-focused mods it doesn’t feel weird to see his limbs and body arc in that acrobatic Spider-Man fashion. That’s not to say he isn’t still terrifying of course:

The skin can be downloaded here and, as you can see, looks… absolutely fantastic in action. In both combat and when swinging around the city, Kermit fits over the Spider-Man movesets like a glove. Which when you think about it, Kermit kind of is.

Kermit takes the cake for me, but there are plenty of other leftfield mods replacing Spidey with everything fromOzzy OsbournetoUncle Ben’s gravestone(?!?), as well as a whole bunch adding variant suits and other superheroes.
The one character mod that must find its way into every game is, of course, CJ from GTA: San Andreas andhere he is. And there is one more perennial favourite: I’ll leave you with thisThomas the Tank Engine mod, guaranteed to make anyone lose their lunch at a glance.
