MODOK is one of the more well-known Marvel villains. So it makes sense that the character will be including in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.

Game director Arthur Parsons provided Game Informer with the following information regarding MODOK’s appearance:

“Doctor Doom is scouring the planet looking for the cosmic Lego bricks from the Silver Surfer’s board and enlists the help of A.I.M., who supply him with a purpose-built ship, the Doom Tanker. This navigates the seas looking for bricks and is crewed by A.I.M. Goons under the jurisdiction of MODOK. So as the player is tracking the cosmic Lego bricks – when they least expect it – MODOK turns up to rain on their parade. As sinister as ever, MODOK assaults the player and tries to slow them down allowing Doctor Doom to escape in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Research Submarine.”

You can find screenshots of MODOK, courtesy of Game Informer, in the gallery above along with a villains poster.
