* OddFriendship: Monica and Bruce Banner still have some fondness for each other. Monica has even helped Banner even when there's no benefit for her doing so.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Beneath the veneer of the selfish, seething, dissident psychopath is an OmnicidalManiac who secretly believes that life makes no mathematical sense and serves no purpose, and should therefore be wiped out. And deeper than that you have what remains of George Tarleton, a scientist weak-willed and amoral enough to join A.I.M. of his own volition.

Added DiffLines:

* GoneHorriblyRight: Tarleton was subjected to a process intended to accelerate a billion years worth of evolution in a single moment to create a hyper-intelligent life form that would be smart enough to create cosmic cubes and help A.I.M. achieve even greater feats. Short of pledging fealty to the Scientist Supreme, all these goals were largely met, but the experiment also turned George into a bloodthirsty lunatic with a recurring murderous contempt for all life. What's more, "M.O.D.O.K.'s 11" reveals that in a billion years [[spoiler:at least some of humanity will have evolved to resemble M.O.D.O.K.]] [[TranshumanAbomination in both appearance and ethics.]]

M.O.D.O.K. is a Creator/MarvelComics super-villain created by Creator/StanLee and Creator/JackKirby. Making his [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] debut in ''Tales of Suspense #93'' (September, 1967), M.O.D.O.K. has been featured in over 40 years of Marvel canon. While originally a foe of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, M.O.D.O.K. is not tied to a single hero's RoguesGallery. He has battled the likes of ComicBook/TheFalcon, ComicBook/NickFury and ComicBook/{{SHIELD}}, ComicBook/IronMan, [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]], the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]], rival villains Mad Thinker and Yellow Claw, ComicBook/MsMarvel, the Champions ([[ComicBook/WarrenWorthingtonIII Angel]], ComicBook/{{Iceman}}, ComicBook/BlackWidow, Darkstar, ComicBook/GhostRider, and [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Hercules]]), [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the Thing]], and the Serpent Society. The latter group managed to assassinate him back in 1986. But M.O.D.O.K. was revived in 1995 and has remained a prominent villain since then.

Update article


A lowly technician working for Advanced Idea Mechanics, George Tarleton was nothing special. One day, Tarleton is picked by A.I.M.'s Scientist Supreme to be genetically altered into a living computer code-named M.O.D.O.C.: '''M'''ental '''O'''rganism '''D'''esigned '''O'''nly for '''C'''omputing. The experiment was a success: Tarleton's brain became enormous, granting him superhuman intelligence and vast psionic powers. Driven mad by the procedures performed on him, M.O.D.O.C. kills his masters in cold blood. Enjoying the slaughter, M.O.D.O.C. renames himself M.O.D.O.K.: '''M'''ental '''O'''rganism '''D'''esigned '''O'''nly for '''K'''illing. Having eliminated the existing command structure, M.O.D.O.K. takes over A.I.M., declaring himself the new Scientist Supreme.

M.O.D.A.M. makes clear that her working for Superia was a business arrangement, and Dr. Wentworth may have bought her services, but not her allegiance.
