Warning! Spoilers ahead for Ultimate Universe: Two Years In #1!
Marvel fans, meet M.O.D.O.S., the surreal new amalgamation of an unexpected MCU hero/villain combo: Doctor Strange and M.O.D.O.K. Marvel has a history of wild character mash-ups, and even if this is the character's sole appearance, M.O.D.O.S. is already one for the ages.
Ultimate Universe: Two Years In #1 is written by Deniz Camp and Alex Paknadel, and features art by Patrick Bountin, Phil Noto, and more.
The preview pages are action-packed and star-studded, suggesting the rest of the issue will follow suit. Yet it will be hard to top the introduction of M.O.D.O.S.
Marvel Introduces "M.O.D.O.S.," Combining Doctor Strange And The Villain M.O.D.O.K.
Ultimate Universe: Two Years In #1, By Multiple Authors And Artists; Available December 3, 2025 From Marvel Comics

As a footnote in Ultimate Universe: Two Years In #1 explains, "M.O.D.O.S." is an acronym for "Mental Organism Designed Only for Sorcery," a hilarious twist on the familiar "Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing," aka M.O.D.O.K, who MCU fans can't help but recognize from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Without question, M.O.D.O.K. ranks up there as one of Marvel's weirdest villains, boasting one of Jack Kirby's most outrageous and visually distinct character designs. As such, M.O.D.O.S., which fuses the villain with Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme, is instantly the weirdest and wildest Doctor Strange variant in the Marvel Multiverse.
In just one panel, Ultimate Universe: Two Years In #1 raises so many questions about M.O.D.O.S. What quirk of fate twisted things to such an extent that Doctor Strange was experimented on and transformed into a "mental organism," akin to M.O.D.O.K.? Answers might not be forthcoming, but fans want to know.
"M.O.D.O.S." Is A Deliriously Fun MCU Mash-Up That Fans Are Going To Want To See More Of
One-Off Or Future Marvel Icon? You Decide
M.O.D.O.S is a testament to the most astounding thing about superhero comics. A single creative decision can spark an avalanche of ideas. One cameo appearance by a new hero variant can open up the door to entirely new dimensions of Marvel lore. M.O.D.O.S. prompts so many lore questions for fans to chew on.
Even if nothing more is learned about the character, M.O.D.O.S. is a novel addition to Marvel canon. It is a high-level mash-up of two completely unexpected characters. And if fans respond enthusiastically enough to the incredible new Doctor Strange/M.O.D.O.K. amalgam variant, there could certainly be more M.O.D.O.S in the future at Marvel Comics.
Ultimate Universe: Two Years In #1 will be available December 3, 2025 from Marvel Comics.
