M.O.D.O.K.

## How M.O.D.O.K. joined the Tourney

Before George Tarleton became M.O.D.O.K., he was a scientist of average intelligence. He was working on an experiment to unlock mental potential for the Advanced Idea Mechanics, or A.I.M. for short. Somehow he became the next test subject and became M.O.D.O.C., or the Mental Organism Designed Only for Computing. Tarleton would eventually overthrow A.I.M. and go on to be a major problem for the likes of Captain America, S.H.I.E.L.D., Iron Man, and more recently, Seong Mi-na, who was waiting for his revenge at the Smash Bros. Tourney.

## How to Unlock

The player must complete one of the following requirements to unlock M.O.D.O.K.:

* Play 22 matches in the Versus Mode.
* Complete Classic Mode while using no continues.

For both of these options, the player must brawl M.O.D.O.K. on the A.I.M. Factory stage. After defeating M.O.D.O.K., the announcer will say "Someone else has joined the Tourney!" after a Smash Ball appears on the lower-right corner of the screen with a message saying "You can now use M.O.D.O.K., master of the Mental Arts.". You will then see him to the left of Evil Red, to the right of Sakura, above Hitmonlee, and at the very top of the Character Select Screen.

### Killer Illumination (Final Smash)

## Trivia

* After you unlock M.O.D.O.K., the message that appears makes a reference to his Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 victory quote, "I am M.O.D.O.K.! Master of the Mental Arts!".
* M.O.D.O.K.'s English voice actor is also the English voice actor for Wang Jinrei, Cervantes, and the Riddler.
* M.O.D.O.K.'s Japanese voice actor is also the Japanese voice actor for AncientOgre, Ogre, King, Guan Yu, Wei Yan, Armor King, and Raphael Sorel.
* Seong Mi-na didn't want any giant brains to enter the Smash Bros. Tourney, but M.O.D.O.K. ended up in the Smash Bros. Tourney and Mi-na has been confirmed to be M.O.D.O.K.'s rival. His second rival in the sequel is a Sailor Scout; in MODOK's case, Sailor Mercury.
