Who's the big flying head w/ Dr Doom?

November 8, 2009 10:12 PM

MarvelFilter: please identify the angry head with the tiny arms and legs flying behind Dr Doom in this Fall of the Hulks poster.

It's just the left side, their opponents. Who are they? In the back, is that Karl Rove? The guys around him are vaguely familiar from early Fantastic Four, but who's that green-skinned guy?

The big head is MODOK. the guy with the green skin is The Leader. The guy in the fur coat is the Red Ghost (with his apes). The bald guy is Egghead. The guy twith the hair is the Mad Thinker, and the little guy on the right in purple is The Wizard.

Man... I didn't know the purple guy or the egghead guy. (Although, I was going to guess Egghead just because that's what he looks like)

And the grey creature in the background is the Mad Thinker's Awesome Android.

(While MODOK is a popular character today because of his sheer weirdness, I think nobody draws him looking as weird and cool as Jack Kirby did in MODOK's first appearance.)

I settled for "Favorite", but Ten Pounds's answer really needs its own "SuperGeek Award Nomination" button.

For casual readers of this thread his full name is Mobile Organism Designed Only for Killing.

Thanks! I thought that was The Wizard, and I recognized the Mad Thinker also but I couldn't remember his name.
