Background[]
In the series, MODOK is now a family man with a human wife and son named Jodie and Lou and a similar daughter to him named Melissa. Much of the series depicts his problems at A.I.M. with his co-workers, his attempts to be the top villain and trying to save his crumbling marriage. As the series progresses MODOK comes to appreciate the various nuances in his life that he initially took for granted as he tries to get back with Jodie and save his job at A.I.M.
In "The M.O.D.O.K. That Time Forgot", MODOK takes Jodie back in time to take her to a Third Eye Blind concert they missed while they were in college because they found out they were having Melissa. He ends up fighting with his college aged self and scars him with pieces of a time crystal and displacing him, though in the process he and Jodie become trapped in the past. They wait until they catch up with their younger selves and prevent them from traveling back, but forget to tell them to hang on to their lives and MODOK ends up moving out with the Super-Adaptoid.
He continues to spend time with his children while also scheming ways to win Jodie back. When he learns that she is dating Wonder Man, he becomes depressed, but becomes more determined. Wonder Man ends up breaking things off with Jodie when she begins to display habits that are similar to MODOK. He ends up having to rescue his family from the younger MODOK, dubbed the Anomaly and Arcade while also dealing with robotic duplicates. Ultimately, MODOK returns home with the real Jodie, Melissa, Lou and an extra Lou whom they accept as family. At the Lous' Bar Mitzvah, MODOK and his family are attacked by the Anomaly, but time is stopped so that he can show MODOK their future. It turns out that the only way for MODOK to be a success is if his family dies; giving him the motivation to complete his conquest. In the far future, Emperor MODOK has successfully defeated the Avengers and is trying to find a way to bring his family to him.
