Many years ago, a brilliant scientist by the name of George Tarleton studied genetics in grad school, primarily focusing on the human brain. While attending, he met two other brilliant scientists, Monica Rappaccini and Hank Pym. The three developed a close bond until they finished grad school when they started to grow apart. From there, Hank went on to start his own company P.Y.M Tech as well as working closely with the government agency S.H.I.E.L.D, whilst George and Monica formed the scientific organisation known as the Advanced Idea Mechanics or A.I.M for short. George had hoped to use A.I.M’s resources to expand the human brain. He had felt that the brain had limits and George wanted to exceed them, so he began working on ways to expand them. George expressed his idea to Monica. Eventually, George managed to convince Monica to go ahead with his project and after many months, George had tested his experimental serum on himself. However, the serum begins to alter him as his head grows larger in size, expanding the jar, gaining an increased intelligence. Monica designed a special chair for George after finding him the next day. He began to change himself as he grew beyond human limitations; he was now M.O.D.O.K (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing). The two helped A.I.M grow, until they gained the attention of HYDRA. With their aid, the two became one of the world’s leading scientists, due to Monica and M.O.D.O.K’s work together.
