Marvel's Spider-Man PC mod brings back Peter Parker's original face

Swinging when you're winning.

Marvel's Spider-Man made its way to PC earlier in the year, and along with it a multitude of mods have swung onto the scene.

Now, one such mod has given the game a literal face lift, by replacing the new model of Peter Parker with that of the game's original PlayStation 4 one.
