6 WWE Heels Who Could Play Marvel Villains In Movies

2. Damien Sandow As M.O.D.O.K.

Modok Sandow The Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing, or M.O.D.O.K., is one of Marvel's most outlandish concepts and a true Jack Kirby original. George Tarleton was a low-level worker for techno-terrorist outfit Advanced Idea Mechanics when his bosses decided to subject him to one of their kooky experiments. When the smoke cleared, George was gone and in his place was M.O.D.O.K. €“ a giant, super-intelligent head in a floating chair, with tiny arms and legs and a terrible attitude. Damien Sandow is WWE's resident genius, and he's not shy about reminding the fans of it. I can't speak to the IQ of Sandow in reality, but his promos and work in angles are fantastic; he plays a smarmy brainiac as convincingly as any wrestler who's ever taken on the gimmick. And, like M.O.D.O.K. €“ whose strange appearance and quick temper often make him the butt of jokes €“ Sandow is a champion when it comes to reacting to humiliation €“ remember when Cody Rhodes threw his Money in the Bank briefcase into the ocean? Sure, it would take some CGI (or a really uncomfortable bodysuit), but seeing Sandow compute his foes' downfall in one breath and turn into a screaming, spitting mess the next? Well, we know he can pull that off.
