There’s one small issue with using mods to become a superhero in GTA V, and it’s that the biggest criminal (you) vanishes, leaving the superhero you’ve transformed into without a major villain to defeat. Thankfully, some of the mods here provide a suitable superpowered enemy you can spawn and battle. But even without a supervillain to super-fight, it’s still tons of fun to use incredible powers in GTA V. If you think blowing up cars with a rocket launcher is fun, just wait until you’re doing it with your bare hands.
Plus, you can always pretend the Los Santos Police Department are the bad guys. Considering their general recklessness and tendency to react to minor fender benders with a barrage of gunfire, it’s not much of a stretch.
But let’s be honest: As a superhero you’re probably going to wind up killing a bunch of innocent or at least semi-innocent people. To ease into that concept, it’s a good idea to start out by becoming a superhero who doesn’t just fight crime, but fights anything that’s willing to fight back—the Hulk. The green behemoth isn’t exactly known for self control, and historically he spends just about as much time fighting US Army soldiers and his best friends as he does fighting criminals. Hulk smash! And Hulk not really concerned all that much who Hulk smash! Right?
