While fans have been heading to Disney+ for their fill of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, comic fans were treated with an alternative comedy series that streamed as a Hulu Original called M.O.D.O.K. that features one of Marvel's most unique villains in a stop-motion adult animated series from the studio behind Robot Chicken.
M.O.D.O.K. features a great cast that includes fun cameos from actors like Bill Hader and Whoopi Goldberg who are just a few of the familiar voices that may leave some fans wondering where they heard them before. So it's definitely worth taking a closer look at a few other character actors and the movies or series they are from.
10 M.O.D.O.K.: Patton Oswalt Appeared In Agents Of SHIELD & Voiced Remy From Ratatouille
Patton Oswalt is the titular star of M.O.D.O.K. and also the co-creator of the series, and his voice should be pretty easy to place for Marvel fans, though the comedian has appeared in DC animated series like Batman Beyond, Static Shock, and The Batman as well.
Oswalt briefly appeared in 2004's Blade: Trinity before he later became a recurring guest star on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as the Koenig quadruplets. He's also likely familiar as the voice of Remy from Ratatouille and the Narrator from The Goldbergs along with a number of other TV and movie projects over the years.
9 Jodie Tarleton: Aimee Garcia Appeared On Shows Like Dexter And Lucifer
The first season of M.O.D.O.K. focused on the troubled relationship between the work-obsessed criminal leader of A.I.M. and his wife Jodie Tarleton, who was considering divorcing M.O.D.O.K. as her self-help career was beginning to take off.
Jodie is voiced by Aimee Garcia, who has a number of fan-favorite TV roles on series like Dexter where she played nanny Jamie Batista and Lucifer as forensic scientist Ella Lopez along with parts in animated movies like The Addams Family and the new RoboCop.
8 Melissa Tarleton: Melissa Fumero Also Stars On Brooklyn Nine-Nine And Voiced Characters On She-Ra
M.O.D.O.K. introduced a brand new aspect to the life of the Mental Organism Designed Only For Killing by revealing he had a secret family that included a daughter named Melissa Tarleton who inherited his unique oversized head while her brother took after their mother.
Melissa Fumero voices Melissa, and fans will recognize her as Sergeant Amy Santiago, one of the stars of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. She also appeared on shows like One Life To Live and Gossip Girl and voiced characters on Elena from Avalon and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
7 Lou Tarleton: Ben Schwartz Voices Sonic The Hedgehog On The Big Screen
Ben Schwartz provides the voice for M.O.D.O.K.'s son Lou Tarleton, a young boy preparing for his Bar Mitzvah while he tries to bond with his father despite their many differences in an interesting take on the usual father/son dynamic.
Fans of shows like Parks & Rec would recognize Schwartz as the hilarious and unforgettable Jean-Ralphio Saperstein, though he's reached new mainstream success as the voice of the titular hero in the live-action adaptation of Sonic the Hedgehog.
6 Super-Adaptoid: Jon Daly Starred On I'm Dying Up Here And Animated Series Like Big Mouth
M.O.D.O.K. is assisted in his home life by the Super-Adaptoid, a highly advanced sentient android with unfulfilled ambitions due to his use around the house as an unappreciated smoothie machine who frequently betrays the family.
Jon Daly has appeared in a number of live-action and animated movies and TV shows over the years, though fans of sketch comedy Kroll Show and Netflix's Big Mouth along with series like American Dad! will likely recognize his voice. Daly also starred in the ensemble series I'm Dying Up Here about the L.A. comedy scene in the 70s.
5 Monica Rappaccini: Wendi McLendon-Covey Starred In Reno 911! And The Goldbergs
Competition for control of A.I.M. rose in the form of Monica Rappaccini, a brilliant scientist with a grudge against M.O.D.O.K. after he stole credit for the design of a new weapon that caused the death of a very important but so far unnamed Avenger (probably Giant-Man though).
Rappaccini is voiced by Wendi McLendon-Covey, who is best known for her roles as Deputy Clementine Johnson on Reno 911! and as the occasionally foul-mouthed sweater-wearing mother Beverly Goldberg from The Goldbergs.
4 Austin Van Der Sleet: Beck Bennett Appeared On SNL And Voices Launchpad McQuack On DuckTales
M.O.D.O.K. begins with A.I.M. facing serious financial issues that allowed a tech company known as GRUMBL and their CEO Austin Van Der Sleet to move in to take control of A.I.M. and oust M.O.D.O.K. from the criminal organization.
Saturday Night Live cast member Beck Bennett provides the voice of Austin Van Der Sleet, which might make him familiar to fans of movies like The Mitchells vs. The Machines and Bill And Ted Face The Music. He's also appeared on series like Arrested Development and voices Launchpad McQuack on DuckTales.
3 Gary: Sam Richardson Appeared In Comedy Series Like Detroiters And Veep
While there are quite a few faceless and nameless drones that work for A.I.M., one named Gary (short for Garfield) quickly stood after his arm was blasted off accidentally by M.O.D.O.K. in a fit of rage, making him ironically the right-hand man of the A.I.M. leader.
Gary is voiced by Sam Richardson, who has a number of movie credits that include comedies like We're The Millers and Game Over, Man, though he might be most recognizable to TV fans for roles on series like The Office, Detroiters, and Veep.
2 Iron Man: Jon Hamm Starred In Series Like Mad Men And Movies Like Baby Driver
There are a couple of Avengers who appear to foil M.O.D.O.K.'s plans over the course of the animated series, including Tony Stark/Iron Man as one of the main threats against A.I.M.'s plans for world domination.
Jon Hamm voices the armored Avenger in M.O.D.O.K. and his voice is likely instantly recognizable to fans of the hit series Mad Men where he starred as Jon Draper, though it's possible he also found recognition for roles on the big screen in movies like Egar Wright's Baby Driver.
1 Wonder Man: Nathan Fillion From Firefly And Castle Reprises His MCU Cameo Role
While he reveals he hasn't quite made it to the Avengers level in M.O.D.O.K., Simon Williams/Wonder Man makes a couple of appearances that make him a potential rival for Jodie's affections when he manages to sweep her off her feet.
Nathan Fillion voices Wonder Man in the animated series, though it isn't the first time the Firefly and Castle star played the character, as he also appeared as Williams in a cut live-action cameo from Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 that focused on the character's Hollywood career as a movie star.
