Happy V-Day!!! Captain Ahab and MODOK!!!

Happy Valentine's Day! Here is some prime love ballads sandwiching choice MODOK soft-core. So take a trip with me to the land of love.

Our first stop is Captain Ahab's "U Want Me" video. Now, I'm sure many of you are already familiar, but indulge yourself and watch this again. Watch it all the way through. It will set the tone for this blog, the rest of the day, and maybe even change your life. (Caution for those at work, maybe wait 'till later if your office is strict)



Wasn't that great? "TEH H8RED PWNS ME 4EVA!11!!" Captain Ahab is so great. Who doesn't want to be loved like that? Maybe MODOK?

Let's explore some of the highs and lows of MODOK's sordid romantic history. The Mental Organism has had many a dealings with the opposite sex but here are my picks for the three most titilating adventures.

Last year, we learned of MODOK's, or rather George Tarleton's, fling with
Monica Rappaccini in MODOKs 11 and the Ms Marvel story arc "Ready, AIM, Fire!" MODOK was once a normally proprtioned, scientist-dork who took advantage of a drunk girl at an AIM gathering. When years later, they have a chance to reunite, Monica spurns the freakish MODOK and condemns their offspring-producing encounter to a mistake. What she didn't realize is that Hell hath no fury like a MODOK scorned. He formulates an insane plan to get back at her by blowing her up with a destabilized Hypernova. She should really have thought about her hurtful and unkind words before she crossed poor MODOK.

Next on our stroll down MODOK memory lane is 1983's The Incredible Hulk 290: "Unholy Alliance". First off, it's refreshing to see how far we've come in 25 years. To call something as beautiful as love "unholy" truly is. MODOK's Conquest in this issue is Dr. Katherine Waynesboro. Now it's hard to tell by Sal Buscema's fairly flat art, but the Dr. is quite the looker. To summarize the plot, AIM kidnaps Dr. K.W. and turns her into Ms MODOK in order combat MODOK who is looking to reclaim AIM for himself.

What AIM didn't see coming was love.




And I don't think anyone saw the consummation coming.



Yikes! Click on that one for the full effect. Well, eventually MODOK disintegrates the Abomination and Ms MODOK is put off. MODOK tries to kill her, but accidentally knocks her into the machine that can revert her to her natural form. Dang!

6 years before this tragedy MODOK had an "encounter" with Ms Marvel in the 7th issue of her first series. Now if you read about their battle in 2007 you will have noticed she never mentions this battle. Here is why:



Oh yeah. Check that out! “She screams a second time, and inside her mind smiles… For MODOK has changed. No longer repulsive, fearful, monstrously evil– the mind ripper mas made him tall and strong and beautiful. It’s made him a man Ms Marvel can LOVE. And serve. A man she will worship as a GOD.” ICE COLD.



I think that image properly sets the tone for this last video. Yes, it is Captain Ahab again with "I Can't Believe It's Not Booty" and NO, YOU SHOULD NOT WATCH THIS AT WORK!



Have a good day and spread the love!
