What: M.O.D.O.K.!
Where to watch: Hulu
Created by Jordan Blum and Patton Oswalt for Hulu, Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K.! — or simply M.O.D.O.K.! — follows the Marvel character of the same name as he experiences an unexpected midlife crisis.
Although M.O.D.O.K. has spent years battling superheroes and attempting to take over the world without success, he refuses to believe he’s anything other than superior to his fellow supervillains. M.O.D.O.K.! follows the beloved villain as he navigates being removed from his company A.I.M. and subsequently dealing with the fact he might not be as powerful as he once thought.
Thinking about checking it out? Here’s what you need to know:
How can I watch Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K.!?
The entire M.O.D.O.K.! series is available exclusively on Hulu, along with a whole lot of other Marvel series and films. The 10-episode series dropped all at once so you won’t have to worry about waiting for a new episode each week.
I’ve never seen M.O.D.O.K. in any Marvel movies before. Do I need to catch up on any prequels?
M.O.D.O.K. has made previous appearances in a variety of Marvel spin-offs — including Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers and the 2010s Spider-Man animated series — but you don’t need to get caught up on any prequels or spin-offs in order to follow M.O.D.O.K.!.
For those looking to get a little prepped on M.O.D.O.K. though, check out why we had him pegged as being one of the next big villains after Avengers: End Game.

“Thanks to Stoopid Buddy’s work on the stop-motion animation, the show can easily move between big screen action and a ‘handheld docu-verité style.’”—Chancellor Agard, Entertainment Weekly
