MODOK

MODOK (also written as M.O.D.O.K.; an acronym for Mental/Mobile/Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

The first MODOK is George Tarleton, a former employee of Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.), an arms dealing organization specializing in futuristic weaponry, who undergoes substantial mutagenic medical experimentation originally designed to increase his intelligence. While successful, the experiments result in him developing a freakishly overdeveloped head and a stunted body, causing the character's signature look and use of a hoverchair for mobility. After the experiments, he kills his creators and takes control of A.I.M. Following Tarleton being split from MODOK, the new independent being dubs himself MODOK Superior. Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books, MODOK has appeared in over four decades of Marvel continuity and starred in the miniseries Super-Villain Team-Up: MODOK's 11 #1–5 (cover-dated September–December 2008), the self-titled one-shot issue MODOK: Reign Delay #1 (November 2009) and the ongoing series MODOK: Head Games (December 2020).

MODOK has featured in other Marvel-endorsed products such as video games, animated television series such as Marvel's M.O.D.O.K., a Hulu-exclusive animated series featuring Patton Oswalt voicing the titular character, and merchandise such as trading cards and toys. IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time ranked MODOK as #100.
