The rebellious Spider-Punk fromSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verseis now swinging throughSpider-Man: Miles Moralesthanks to a new mod. Marvel’s multiverse is filled with interesting Spider-Man variants, many of which have been featured in the two animatedSpider-Versemovies. Better still, some of their costumes are included asunlockable skins inMarvel’s Spider-ManandSpider-Man: Miles Morales, allowing fans to navigate through Insomniac’s version of New York City as their favorite Spider-hero.One such variant is Spider-Punk, aka Hobbie Brown. In the comics, Hobie was bitten by a mutated spider and used the powers he gained from it to rally the people of Earth-138 against the corrupt President Norman Osborn and his V.E.N.O.M. soldiers. This hard-rock version of Spidey eventually made his way to the big screen inthis year’sSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, where he was voiced byGet Outstar Daniel Kaluuya. He has quickly become a fan-favorite due to his anti-establishment attitude and unique visual style that is just as vibrant and memorable as the hero himself.RELATED:Prowler’s Music From Spider-Man: Miles Morales Has Become a MemeWhile there already is an unlockable version of Spider-Punk’s costume inMarvel’s Spider-Man, a recent mod is introducing a take more in-line with Hobie Brown’s animated counterpart. Twitter user and artist Galan posted a clip of a Spider-Punkmod forSpider-Man: Miles Moralesthat they helped work on. Using a character model created by fellow Twitter user DeadGunned, this mod captures Spider-Punk’s signature rock-inspired look with a leather jacket, various anti-authority symbols, and plenty of spikes across Hobie’s head, shoulders, and armbands.
TheSpider-Versemovies have been represented in Insomniac’sSpider-Mangames before, with the cel-shaded Peter B. Parker being included as a skin in the originalMarvel’s Spider-Manand the animated version of Miles Moralesbeing unlockable inSpider-Man: Miles Morales- complete with a special suit mod that recaptures the movie’s stylish frame rate. WithMarvel’s Spider-Man 2set to launch on PlayStation 5 this October, there is a good chance that some of the other Spider-heroes featured inAcross the Spider-Versecould be introduced as unlockable character skins - including Spider-Punk.
In the meantime, Galan and DeadGunned’sSpider-Man: Miles MoralesSpider-Punk skin does a great job of capturing Hobie Brown’s animated counterpart in all of his punk-rock glory. Galan states that they are working to recreate Spider-Punk’s signature character outline and occasional freeze-frame effects, meaning that this mod could become even more likeAcross the Spider-Versein the future.
