Mods

Only this version of the PC port supports modding. Mod Installation Guide.
The Marvel Mods forums feature various different mods ranging from Custom characters to Remastered UI textures and much more.
  • Official Characters Pack: Features every character from every version and the cast of the X-Men Legends series along with the Simulator Missions from the "next-gen" versions, an extensive list of bug fixes and miscellaneous features. Necessary for Vital/36/50 Character Roster Hacks.
  • Vital Roster Hack: Increases the roster size to allow for every character to be accessible at once. Ability to toggle between 36 (all characters from all versions) and 50 (all characters from all versions + most of the cast of the X-Men Legends games). 50 characters is the absolute maximum and by default Cannonball, Dark Phoenix, Sunfire, Toad and X-Man from X-Men Legends are cut.
  • 36 Characters Roster Hack: Increases the roster size to allow for every Marvel Ultimate Alliance character to be accessible at once and adds even more miscellaneous features, tweaks, etc.
  • 50 Characters Roster Hack: Increases the roster size to allow for every Marvel Ultimate Alliance and all but 5 X-Men Legends characters to be accessible at once and adds even more miscellaneous features, tweaks, etc.
  • Open Hero Select: Edit the playable roster
  • Remastered Interface: A mostly complete conversion of the HD Interface from the 2016 remastered version.
