What should be done with Modok?

It seems like Modok is written differently depending on the writer, some writers present him as deadly serious, while others present him as a joke.

In other media, he is often a joke in cartoons, but I have seen novels present him as pure evil.

So should he be a joke or serious, should he just be evil or have redeeming qualities?

1) Scrap the hover chair. Go with the creepy Spider-Legs.

2) Make him the AIM Supreme once again.

3) Rebrand AIM as a bunch of completely amoral science-wizs. No more "lol, funny nerds", I'm talking "Ultimate Children" level. Smaller numbers but a bigger threat.

4) Focus on just how terrifying he actually is. I mean, hell, he's a giant brain inside a huge head. A head that's about the size of a big closet. That's damn scary and not something to be laughed at.

5) Give him a fixed personality.

I don't even remember the last time MODOK did anything important in a major book (when was the last time he even lead AIM?). He always seems to be stuck in tertiary books like Secret Avengers or Gwenpool.

It feels like the cartoons have done more with him as a villain then the comics have in decades.

I think MODOK is a very goofy character, but it's because he's goofy and because he can be a major threat in-spite of it that he's so entertaining as a villain .

Give him back the giant mechanical body that matches his head again

MODOK is best when he's a schemer and doesn't try to fight his own battles.

Wasn't there a Secret Wars with Modok? How was that and should it be brought into the main Marvel?

Give him back the giant mechanical body that matches his head again

Didn't they do that before?

[Derek Metaltron]

I liked the take on him in Secret Wars in Killville where he could be utterly ridiculous and over the top yet terrifying and highly dangerous at the same time, because in that universe MODOK is a genuine threat.

Doesn't Modok have telepathy and potent mental blasts as well as hypnosis and computer fast analytical mind?

2 words, john hodgeman.

make him modok in the mcu.

once you got this base, the character will be more popular in the comic verse.

then have him build a macguffin that becomes a crossover event.

they did it when he first appeared. and they did it in the animated series. that's why I wrote "give him back the giant mechanical body that matches his head again."

he has a base? I just know him as the not quite funny guy on the old Daily Show.

^it was those ridiculous appearances and that utterly confusing Secret Avengers stuff that ruined his image, imo.

Bring back M.O.D.O.K. Assassin as an anti-hero. Even better, make him an anti-hero either on battleworld so we can rediscover that (it came back after the contest of champions), or in 616 dealing with Doom Patrol-esque plots and environments.

[comicscollector]

Define him to be a arch enemy of just one super hero.
He have been a enemy of too many super heroes (Captain America,Shield,Avengers,Iron Man,Hulk...)
The best stories i remembre enjoying of MODOK,were old Hulk stories way back.
