Jodie Ramirez-Tarleton

Jodie Tarleton is the author of best selling Jodify Your Life, estranged wife of M.O.D.O.K., and mother of Melissa, Lou, and "Lou".

History
Jodie was born and raised in Boulder, Colorado.

Over 17 years ago, Jodie and M.O.D.O.K. met and began dating. The couple soon moved in together and became pregnant with Melissa, causing them to miss a Third Eye Blind concert. The two married and, after the birth of Lou, the family moved into a larger home.

Building her Brand
Jodie worked hard to write and self-publish her own self-help book and record multiple life hack style videos. With the fame her book garnered, Jodie began to be approached for supportship deals with several copies including YouTube, Google, GRUMBL, GRIMPL, and Roxxon. After M.O.D.O.K. ruined her interview for brand ambassador with GRUMBL, Jodie accepted a position as lifestyle influencer with Roxxon.

After years of unhappiness and frustration, Jodie asked for a separation and divorce from M.O.D.O.K. As M.O.D.O.K. moved out, he offered her a trip back in time to see the Third Eye Blind concert they missed 17 years ago. However, this plan was ruined when alternate timeline versions of M.O.D.O.K. and Jodie jumped out from the bushes and smashed the Chrono-Crystal, causing the alternate versions to disappear in the process.

Once M.O.D.O.K. moved out of the house, Jodie began to focus more on her career. This included the kids spending weekends with M.O.D.O.K. to give her more time to work on her book deal, interviews with media personalities such as Master Pandemonium and going to A.I.M. and recruiting Monica to give Lou a peanut allergy to conform to the narrative she created.

After a disastrous rehearsal of Lou's Bar Mitzvah, Jodie called M.O.D.O.K. Upon arriving at the scene of the rehearsal, M.O.D.O.K. took care of Lou for the rest of day and was able to conceal the Asgardian adventure he and Lou went on from Jodie.

Disappointed with her book sales, Jodie met Wonder Man and agreed to go on a date. This small interaction led to increased sales of her book, Jodie continued to see and be seen with Wonder Man to further gain notoriety, following the advice of Brandi, giving Jodie advice that would lead to poor decisions. Jodie invited M.O.D.O.K. to the paperback release party in the hopes of him losing a temper and causing drama, which eventually led to M.O.D.O.K. and Wonder Man getting into a fight. This thirst for stardom led to Wonder Man breaking up with her.

Later, Jodie was captured and replaced with a robot by the Anomaly, Arcade and the Super Adaptoid. Restrained in a room with Lou and Melissa, the three were forced to watch M.O.D.O.K. interact with the robot duplicates, making unsuccessful attempts to contact him until M.O.D.O.K. himself was revealed to be a robot built by the real M.O.D.O.K. The robot M.O.D.O.K. self-destructed as the three were freed from their restraints by M.O.D.O.K.'s hacking skills. Jodie, Melissa and Lou then met in Murderworld M.O.D.O.K., two other versions of the family and their captors. Arcade explained the nature of Muderworld's death game, the Melissa and Lou that Jodie had been locked in with were themselves robots and the true versions of the family needing to kill the robot duplicates to escape; Arcade then disorientated the families so they couldn't tell who they came in with and introduced two robotic duplicates of M.O.D.O.K. Eventually, the family was able to eliminate most of the robot duplicates, with the robots either being killed by the real versions, committing suicide or accidentally killing themselves. The only uncertainty left was the two Lous, who the family decided to spare due to their sweet nature. M.O.D.O.K. goaded the Anomaly into a fight, causing Arcade to leave in protest. The Anomaly ripped out a vital piece of circuitry from M.O.D.O.K., making Jodie retaliate and rip the Anomaly in half with the powers of Pilates. Melissa was able to save M.O.D.O.K's life by re-attaching the piece of circuitry. The family, including the two Lous, went to dinner together. There, the Super Adaptoid came and apologised for betraying the family, causing them to reset him.

During Lou's Bar Mitzvah, Jodie pointed out a misunderstanding on M.O.D.O.K.'s part, resulting in Lou's Bar Mitzvah reception. To remedy this, M.O.D.O.K. sent various creatures from his social circle instead, such as the Bar With No Name's patrons', the Ciegrimites and the Jiggle-Os to the reception. Noticing how miserable the Bar Mitzvah was becoming, M.O.D.O.K. and Jodie went to talk with the Two Lous. The Lous explained that they felt ignored by M.O.D.O.K. and wanted to dance with him. After the two Lous danced with M.O.D.O.K., M.O.D.O.K. danced with Jodie, explaining her interest in reconciliation and more family dinners while making clear she didn't want to go back to the way things were. After the Super Adaptoid freed two Ciegrimites from their restraints, the Anomaly arrived, the version Jodie had killed having been a robot duplicate, and fired missiles at Jodie and the rest of M.O.D.O.K.'s family. Killing them in an attempt to make his Earth-1226 Counterpart fulfill his dream of ruling the earth.
