Magneto And M.O.D.O.K. Join Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Lineup
Yesterday Capcom brought us two new character reveals for MvC 3 with Arthur and Nathan Spencer. Today Marvel fires back with supervillain Magneto and the Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing.
Everyone know the master of magnetism, but what is this giant floating head thing? Tell us the answer, Wikipedia, good chum!
“George Tarleton is subjected to a mutagenic process that grants him superhuman intelligence, including a computer-like memory and the ability to predict probable outcomes that borders on clairvoyance, but his creativity remains at average human level. As MODOK, the character also has psionic powers enabling him to mentally control both individuals and large groups, and generate force fields able to withstand minor nuclear explosions. Courtesy of A.I.M technology, MODOK wears a headband that enables him to focus his mental power into a devastating beam.
A side effect of the mutation was the growth of Tarleton's head to the point whereby his body can no longer support the weight, necessitating the use of an exoskeleton and hoverchair. The chair is equipped with a variety of weapons including missiles and lasers. Tarleton's organs also wear out quickly, necessitating the use of harvested clones, whose organs are used to sustain him.
As the leader of A.I.M, MODOK has advanced technology and a personal army at his disposal.”
I can’t wait to kick him in his big, dumb face!
