Exactly my point.
MODOK have been a villain of to many super heroes.
Thats a role though that the character had for years but imo is not the best.
Power wise,MODOK have fought the Hulk so i think if MODOK got to be defined more to be the arch enemy of just one super hero his status could be better defined.
Let's talk Marvel's MODOK
Will We Ever See Marvel's Weirdest Character Join The MCU?
He and AIM make sense as Ant-Man villains. He’s a giant head who gets around on spider legs. It makes more sense than using the Ghost.
First, remember that MODOK was somebody to whom something horrible was done by his own people. They turned him into a freakshow exhibit to manufacture the cosmic cube.
Second, remember that he was NOT a good guy to begin with. He was a freakin' AIM agent.
Third, keep in mind that this is a guy who thinks the world owes him something, and that notion got megaphoned by the fact that he's way smarter now, and the fact that (although he won't admit it) he's ashamed of how hideous other people now to find him.
Finally, remember that he IS super smart.
- His schemes should be brain-bustingly complex
- His schemes should have an element of "yeah, we should do something about 'x'" to them
- His schemes should be horrific in looking at individuals as average data points instead of important beings
In otherwords, MODOK should be a commentary on how Industry treats and shapes all of us.
ETA: looking on my own comments, you can't juxtipose him against a pretty hero, like Captains America/Marvel. You need somebody with serious flaws, like Hulk or Iron Man.

MODOK is one of those characters that just screams comic book. He's super weird, embrace it, it's what sets him apart. Like people have mentioned already, just make him and AIM a serious threat again. The idea of AIM being out there should be terrifying to anyone who knows about it. Forget Hydra and take over the world stuff, AIM can create any manner of tech or genetic monstrosities. In a world were things like the Hulk and MODOK himself are possible, AIM existing should be keeping people like Stark, Reed and Cap up at night.
The only take on him I’ve liked is Jeff Parker’s MODOK Superior.
