A New M.O.D.O.K. For a New Year!

M.O.D.O.K. is one of those rare creations that are so completely luducrous they only work in comics.  He's just some big, floating head.  Once the perfidious villain enters a story, any sense of realism is kind of thrown out the door faster than a speeding bullet.  But he's always had that certain charm about him that has given him semi-iconic status.  The thing's name stands for Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing.  Only in comics, my friends.  Only in comics.

But after 40 or so years, M.O.D.O.K. needs a bit of an update.  And here's your first glimpse at some creepy new concept art for the classic villain.

This won't be the only look, and M.O.D.O.K. will be boasting a more modular armor this time.  The new design is decent.  I can see it being executed well, but it doesn't have that instant charm of the classic .  Nevertheless, I'm happy that Marvel decided to update a great character.  Although Marvel has it's share of timeless villains, many heroes have relatively lackluster rogues galleries.  Even if the designs aren't perfect, at least they're trying to fix the issue.  I have to respect the sentiment.  And here's something extra to brighten your day.
