Marvel Rivals Season 1 was released on January 10, 2025, and reportedly, it completely removed modded skins from the game. Soon after the release of the NetEase Games title, mods went viral. Generally, different interesting skins were seen being applied to characters. For instance, mods where Iron Man looked like Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z were rather prevalent.
However, with the Season 1 patch, NetEase Games may have done away with this customizability previously found in Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals reportedly does away with mods with Season 1 release
The Marvel Rivals Season 1 patch brought about a plethora of interesting changes, including new heroes, hero balances, as well as new maps and modes. However, perhaps the potential removal of mods is the biggest new feature.
According to the popular online source, @X0X_LEAK, asset hash checking has been introduced to the game. Hash checking basically helps developers to ensure that the intended assets are not tampered with or somehow altered without authorization.
Therefore, players implementing various mods will no longer be able to create different skins for heroes. This change may have been a direct result of hero skins being rapidly created by players worldwide. While many skins are harmless, some inappropriate content is also found on the web often.
According to the data miners at @X0X_LEAK, mods will not work in the game anymore. The leakers have previously been associated with reliable information about the state of the game.
