So, Nimrod over MODOK?
Lures Abomination out of the Superdome using robotic decoy.
Alternatively, stuffs decoy with C4, puts it near tourny border, then detonates to blow Abomination out of bounds.

He's doing his best Lillith impersonation.

I think he was pretty much deactivated in that shot.
They could have at least closed a dude's mouth while he was all deactivated.
He's still losing.
Er, yes, I think we're pretty much starting from the basis that Mysterio's gonna get fucked sideways.
No, MODOK over Nimrod.
They are in AIM Headquarters.
That's where MODOK pretty much lives and stuff. And it's full of horrifying weapons.
Nimrod is fucked.
Best case for fishbowl-head that I can see would be a stalemate with Abomination. Not sure how he's going to hurt him at all.
RETRACTION. He's got a pretty sweet equipment list. Giving it to Mysty.
Nimrod has my vote. He has a far more powerful arsenal of weapons at his command.
Situation excellent. I am attacking.

All he has to do is place one of his robots out of bounds, then use his holographic projector to make it looks like it is still in bounds. Blonsky tries to crush it, steps out of bounds, and is disqualified. Its kinda lame, but it could happen.
Not sure about the Nimrod/MODOK fight. Surely theres a weapon big enough in aim headquarters to kill either one of them. MODOK owns the place, but it says right in Nimrod's power list that he can take control of computers. I wonder if he could take control of MODOK's computer right from under him. Somehow I doubt it. At this point I'm leaning to MODOK because of the home field advantage.
And Mysterio.
Because Mysterio knows Abom, and can put up enough gas in the stadium to make Abom think that he's fighting the Hulk a few times over, which might destroy his confidence/make him leave the stadium.
Not even with 10 lbs of C4?
Maybe 100
or 1000
What the fuck? By your reasoning Bruce Banner must be an idiot also. Oh wait, he's actually so smart his intelligence can't even be measured by any existing test.
Seriously? Like totally 50 times smarter? That's like, wowzers.
Nimrod has this one. Hands down. I bet he doesn't even break a robot sweat.
What?
MODOK is able to do much mure calculations than pretty much any supercomputer. It's why he was made.
He was originally MODOC, Mental Organism Designed Only for Computing, but then he killed a bunch of people and changed his name to MODOK. MODOK is actually specifically designed to study and comprehend the intricate workings of the Cosmic Cube.
So yes, he is easily fifty times smarter than Nimrod.
Normal people outsmart Nimrod all the time. What do you think MODOK in his own home is going to do?
ALSO: t robosagogo
Abomination exposed himself to gamma radiation intentionally, you dimwit.
Exactly! Do you have any idea how moronic that is?
At least Bruce Banner didn't know the potential effects of the Gamma Bomb and, more importantly, only risked himself to save Rick Jones. Blonsky just thought it'd be fun to bath in radiation that would, best case scenario, turn him into a monster and prevent him from ever enjoying life again.
Blonksy knew the potential effects of a gamma bomb. Those effects being "turns you into an invincible radioactive behemoth".
Second of all, I don't know if you've noticed but the Hulk is fucking miserable. God knows what kind of person would look at an overgrown green monster who spends all his time on the run while being hunted by the military and thinks, "Gosh, I want a piece of that."
He's about as smart as that kid who lit himself on fire after watching Jackass.
So he has to be able to access and make use of the AIM technology quickly enough to kill Nimrod(he'll have to vaporize him into nothingness to get the job done) before Nimrod can blast the floating head.
Basically what you're suggesting is that Captain America is dumb for the same reasons as Blonsky.
Also: Blonsky is a KGB agent. They are not stupid. I don't know why you feel the need to defend a position that is so obviously incorrect.
As for MODOK versus Nimrod, MODOK designed half the stuff AIM uses, so he knows how to operate it. Plus, AIM is known for their ridiculous and powerful weaponry. Their main base easily packs enough firepower to destroy Nimrod ten times over.
Furthermore, total vaporization isn't necessary. Nimrod regenerates, but not too quickly. If you blast him to pieces, he'll probably be too preoccupied trying to piece himself back together than to fight.
I want him to win so badly.
Abomination is going to wipe the floor with him unless we think of something ingenious!
I mean, if I had the choice, I'd have to give it some serious consideration.
