Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. Intros Metallic Menace's Super Dysfunctional Fam

With now only a little more than two weeks to go until Hulu's Patton Oswalt-starring Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. hits our screens, the streaming service is giving viewers a chance to get up-close-and-personal with the metallic menace and his dysfunctional family. After years of setbacks and failures fighting the Earth's mightiest heroes, M.O.D.O.K. (Oswalt) has run his evil organization A.I.M. into the ground. Ousted as A.I.M.'s leader while also dealing with his crumbling marriage and family life, the Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing is set to confront his greatest challenge yet: a midlife crisis. Helping or hindering him in his journey is Aimee Garcia as unsatisfied wife Jodie Tarleton, Ben Schwartz as socially awkward 12-year-old son Lou Tarleton, and Melissa Fumero as "popular girl" daughter Melissa Tarleton- here's a look:

"He is this character that aspires to be like Doctor Doom, this kind of like-menacing villain, but he always falls short of it," series co-creator, writer, and executive producer Jordan Blum explained during a recent WonderCon virtual panel about the animated series' title character. "The fact that he's conscious that he's not an A-Lister drives him insane. What's his home-life like while also running an evil organization?" Here's a look at the official trailer- with Hulu's Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. set to storm its way into our lives starting May 21:
