M.O.D.O.K. and Genocide = M.O.D.O.G.?

I'm sure he's just exploring his options...

Marvel.com, which recently cleaned up in the Eagle Awards as "Favorite Comics Related Website," has posted some new art today featuring one of my favorite characters in the Marvel Universe: M.O.D.O.K.

Or, more accurately, M.O.D.O.G.

Yes, everyone's favorite Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing seems to have found himself a new hobby, as well as a new home, in Invincible Iron Man. The new version of the big-headed bugger has taken a shine to genocide instead of just garden-variety killing, according to information released about the villain's upcoming appearance in the second issue of the Matt Fraction/Salvador Larroca series.

Marvel.com has posted samples of Larroca's new M.O.D.O.G. art, including this great image of Iron Man dragging the ever-creepy creature around by his hair.

The thing is, I'm not sure if the decision to shift his focus from "Killing" to "Genocide" makes him more or less dangerous. With a M.O.D.O.G., at least you have a good idea of who's on his hit list, right? But a M.O.D.O.K. - that's a different story. He wants to kill everybody.

Unless, of course, he's discovered the sweet serenity of regular meditation.
