Background: George Tarleton worked as a technician at A.I.M. in Pennsylvania. He was experimented on by the Scientist Supreme, which resulted in a mutation of a large head and dramatically increased intellect. Once the experimentation was complete, George was dubbed M.O.D.O.C (Mental Organism Designed Only for Computing) and placed in a weight-assisting vehicle to support his comically oversized head. Because of his vastly superior intellect, M.O.D.O.K. quickly overthrew his former boss and changed his name to reflect his murderous mindset. M.O.D.O.K. has since been depowered and returned to a normal human state by Amadeus Cho (aka Totally Awesome Hulk).
