With a week under its belt, the ModNation Racers community is thriving. It seems Hot Lap times are being set every second, casual races are packed, and – even though you have to wait quite a while sometimes – XP races have a healthy group striving to max out their levels.

But all of that pales in comparison to the thousands of racers known as Mods, karts and tacks that users like you have whipped up. There are comic book characters, cars from famous TV shows, and so much more. It seems you can search for the most obscure references – there are already a number of Karl Pilkingtons live – and find something to satiate your appetite.Rather than set you adrift in this sea of created crazy, we've decided to start up a semi-regular feature detailing some of the coolest creations you can possibly find on the ModNation Racers servers. Now, we're not saying these are perfect Mods and karts, but we are saying that they're rad and deserve your download. Still, we can't do this on our own. When you find something awesome in ModNation Racers,. We don't care if you submit your own stuff. We'll sort through them and pick the best for the next installment of IGN's ModNation Racers: The Coolest Content.Until then, stick these in your creation station…

DraxaasYou can't throw a pink lightning bolt in ModNation Racers without hitting a comic book-inspired character, but what makes this Cyclops special is that he looks so good. The separating lines on his straps and gloves aren't just stickers; they're real indentations. The visor has that reflective look to it and isn't just a red line, and that mouth is perfect. If Jim Lee's Cyclops could be ModNation-ized, it would be this Mod.

BalornA lot of people are trying to make the time machine from Back to the Future in ModNation Racers, but without the ability to have vertical doors or those crazy vents, some karts really don't cut the mustard. Balorn's DeLorean, however, captures the feel of Doc Brown's design. The paint is the right kind of flat silver, the famous logo looks awesome on the grill, and the meticulously recreated "OUTATIME" California license plate is a beautiful example of fan devotion. Get this one, sing "Power of Love," and make some flaming tire tracks.

MykleHYes, we can! OK, OK – talking politics really isn't the best way to unify large groups of people, but we can all agree on how good MykleH's Barack Obama looks, right? He's got the big grin, the wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, and a close cropped hairdo that's showing just a bit of gray thanks to reflection. If you love the Commander in Chief, download this Mod to race for your country. If you despise him, download this Mod and ram him into walls.

Bourne_LegacyWhen the evil Shredder attacks, these turtle boys don't cut him no slack. Sure, we're only profiling Leonardo today, but Bourne_Legacy has whipped up all four heroes in a half shell if you'd rather go pick your favorite. Using a three-dimensional prop, Bourne_Legacy has managed to give the turtles the traditional, lumpy head we all know and love. Beyond that, the creator's dropped in slick shell detail on the front and back, elbow pads, and basically everything else you'd expect a Ninja Turtle to rock. Excellent work.

GimmeADWe expected a lot of obscure Mods and karts when ModNation Racers made its way to the public, but we never expected to see a Mod honoring Alan – the creepy, soon to be brother-in-law from the movie The Hangover. If you missed the 2009 comedy chronicling a trip to Vegas, this Mod pretty much is EXACTLY what Zach Galifianakis' character looked like – the goofy shirt, the black eye, the man purse. The level of detail here is crazy, and it's totally worth your time to download.
