10 best Marvel Rivals mods in 2026

Mods have historically been a great way to build up a creative core within a game’s community, and Marvel Rivals is no exception. With a competitive online game like Rivals, modding can be controversial, given that cheating with aimbots is almost always an issue with shooters. Still, there are plenty of great mods that add to the experience without giving players unfair advantages.

Marvel Rivals modding has led to a lot of fun and well-made community content, but do note that it comes with risk. There is always the chance that you become a victim of NetEase cracking down on mods; however, many still play the game with these mods without issue.

So, let’s have a look at the best Marvel Rivals mods in 2026, if you aren’t put off by the possibility of being temporarily or permanently banned.

There are a few different kinds of mods available for Marvel Rivals, including the following: 

These categories are broad and often bleed into one another. For example, Marvel Rivals skin mods are typically found in the Characters category of Nexus, but they can sometimes appear in the Visuals category too. Be sure to go through each category in detail if you can’t find the mod you’re looking for.

NetEase has yet to openly discuss mods, but has so far opposed their use. This has been the case since Marvel Rivals launched, and while you can still download mods through workarounds, there is a risk of being banned when using them for fear of cheating. The fact that skins cost money is probably a reason why players can be banned for using skins, too.

Below, we’ve listed the 10 top mods for Marvel Rivals as of writing, and while the scene isn’t as extensive as something like Skyrim’s, for instance, there is still plenty to choose from. The popularity is always going to be stifled because of the threat of a ban, but if you don’t mind the risk, you can find all these mods under Marvel Rivals on Nexus Mods.

The Pochita Jeff mod reimagines Jeff the Land Shark as the adorable chainsaw headed Pochita from the anime Chainsaw Man. It is one of the most popular Marvel Rivals mods on Nexus Mods, with–at the time of writing–92,238 downloads, 80,590 unique downloads, over 2,479 endorsements and over 300,000 views. It’s clear to see why this is so popular, as the Jeff model fits in perfectly with the Pochita design and textures. 

Next is a mod that is even more popular than Pochita Jeff, with over 300,000 downloads and over one million views. The mod is a visual one that optimises the game’s performance without sacrificing the quality of the graphics. It does this by disabling shades, reworking the destruction system and lighting, and disabling the fog effects. 

This is another popular mod choice that has attracted a lot of attention, with over 200,000 downloads and close to 600,000 views. The mod is an open-source app that allows players to manage their Marvel Rivals mods. Within the manager, players can see their enabled and disabled mods and turn them on and off while keeping track of what they have installed. 

Though not as popular as some of the others on this list, this next mod is certainly a fun choice. This mod replaces Galacta with J.Jonah Jameson as the Marvel Rivals announcer, which is a unique and funny idea that is a must for Marvel and Spider-Man fans (and fans of J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson). The mod was made via AI, with the mod creator using the Jameson voice lines from the game Spider-Man 3 to recreate Galacta’s announcer lines. 108 Galacta voice lines are replaced with Jameson, making for a thorough audio mod for Marvel Rivals. 

This mod is aimed at players who often get frustrated with the repetitive cinematics and introductions in Marvel Rivals. The All-in-One Intro Skips mod completely bypasses all the cinematics and introductions in the game, from the introductory cinematic to the small cinematics that appear at the beginning and end of games. The only cinematics that are not disabled with this mod are the click login screen and the initial shader caching screen, as these are essential to loading.

Punk Psylocke is an awesome skin mod, altering Psylocke’s outfit to give her a punky street vibe. This look suits Psylocke amazingly well, and it has been modelled and painted entirely by the creator ButchByte. Not only is this a great look for the character, but it has also been made incredibly well. This is a must for Psylocke players looking for a mod that changes her default outfit to something equally fitting for her character and design.

This is a popular Marvel Rivals gameplay mod that disables the acceleration of the mouse to allow for more consistency and smoothness when playing the game. The disabling of the mouse acceleration means that the cursor will move more directly with the player’s hand movements, reducing any lag and making everything feel more precise. It’s a must for players who favour precision.

This isn’t the first Marvel Rivals mod to have the viral Malas Dicisiones song playing during her ultimate, but after the original by TheTwinForces stopped working, this version by Hibiscus remains the best option. It’s a very funny mod, and given how Luna Snow’s ultimate has become a meme for a while, these are always good for a laugh. The Devil Trigger and Bayonetta replacers are also great fun, too.

If you want a bit of anime in your Marvel Rivals, then look no further than Vegeta as Iron Man mod, allowing you to take some Saiyan pride into battle. This changes Iron Man’s audio, too, making him sound more like the English dub of Vegeta. Despite the missiles coming out of nowhere, Vegeta as Iron Man works oddly well, with some different colour options for the bodysuit.

Last but not least are these character skin mods that reimagine The Punisher as Big Smoke and Winter Soldier as CJ from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. These mods are fantastically made, with the Big Smoke and CJ models looking almost exactly the same as in San Andreas, right down to their infamous, claw-like hands. This mod is an absolute must for fans of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas who enjoy playing as The Punisher or Winter Soldier in Marvel Rivals. 

These are some of our best mods in Marvel Rivals as of 2026, thanks to their humour, implementation, or usefulness. It’s impressive how good some of these mods are, considering that NetEase is largely against mods and that there’s only a small subset of the community working on them.

Note that if you want to get involved with Marvel Rivals modding, there is always a chance your account can get banned. NetEase doesn’t support modding, and while that doesn’t have to stop you from trying, there are risks involved.
