Red Dead Redemption 2's single-player content provides players with plentiful hours of memories and ties to the game's narrative. However, Red Dead Online gives Red Dead Redemption 2 players more freedom in an engrossing multiplayer service.
Fans have spent the last few years of the game's single-player and multiplayer modes experimenting with Red Dead Redemption 2's cosmetics and mods. Red Dead Online's customizations are not abundant, but fans have been entertained by attempting to manifest characters from other franchises. Using cosmetics from either Red Dead Redemption 2 or Red Dead Online, an inspired fan has been able to create a makeshift costume based upon an iconic superhero.
Blue_Moon_Cheese has recently shared their iteration of Spider-Man in Red Dead Online. The fan's Spider-Man is comprised of an Executioner's Mask and a red Union shirt with blue suspenders. Dark pants, boots, and gloves complete the look, with a lasso mimicking Spider-Man's webbing. Of course, the fan's creation could not perfectly emulate Spider-Man's traditional costume. But what the player lacks in webbing patterns and other Spider-Man signifiers, they make up in dramatic action poses.
The fan shares screenshot poses of their Spider-Man leaping from Blackwater Grand Theater with their lasso thrown, imitating Spider-Man's web-swinging. This mid-air pose for a Red Dead Online character is unnatural, and most likely led to the character's in-game death. But it works well as a Spider-Man silhouette nonetheless. Red Dead Redemption 2's lasso mechanic further imitates Spider-Man's webbing in a screenshot where the player has lassoed an NPC from a distance while on top of a shuttle carriage.
Interestingly, a fan points out that there is in fact a Spider-Man who belongs to the Wild West era, named Patrick O'Hara. O'Hara's outlaw Spider-Man bears a striking resemblance to ordinary Red Dead Online characters, and even wears a bandana face mask, a fedora hat, and wields revolvers. It may be simpler for fans to iterate O'Hara's Spider-Man design, but Blue_Moon_Cheese's work demonstrates a level of effort that requires the right articles of clothing from Red Dead Redemption 2 and an eye for the superhero's action poses.
Rather, even though the player's makeshift costume is an imperfect version of Spider-Man's classic outfit, the player's outfit emulates the Wrestler Suit featured in Marvel's Spider-Man. Fans also wish a brown paper bag cosmetic was available, so that players could emulate Spider-Man's Bombastic Bag-Man costume. Either way, Blue_Moon_Cheese's Spider-Man may perhaps give fans the inspiration to play Red Dead Online or Red Dead Redemption 2 and roleplay as the web-slinger.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and Read Dead Online are available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
