Biography
Origin
Galen Nycroft was a deranged human scientist who lived on Eternia until he was imprisoned in the Royal dungeons for attempting to use his science to control the planet with a mind ray. Appearing human other than his deformed, enlarged eye which resembles that of Modulok, Nycroft is unfazed by the prison guards' mockery of him and vows to escape and prove himself. He summons a bat-like aid to his side with a component needed to teleport his final invention to the prison cell. Teleporting the large machine to the cell, he steps inside, and an explosion comes from within. He steps out in the mutated form of Modulok, and uses his greatly bolstered strength to break free from the prison cell. He contacts Skeletor and offers him his services, but Skeletor rejects him describing him as a "wimp scientist" and vows to only accept Modulok into his evil crew once he has proven himself. Modulok sets out to prove himself by capturing He-Man. He fails in his scheme, as he is deceived into capturing a teenage boy who is trying to impress his girlfriend by pretending to be He-Man's secret identity.
Modulok was responsible capturing the heroic character Roboto and reprogramming him, then reviving him to carry out his own evil deeds. He proceeds to attempt a Frankenstein-like experiment on Man-At-Arms, intending to transfer his brain power into his second head so that he can possess Man-At-Arms' scientific knowledge for himself.
Filmation
The man who would become Modulok was once a human scientist known as Galen Nycroft. At some point, Nycroft was imprisoned by the Eternian royal guard for attempting to use his science to control all of Eternia with a mind ray. While languishing in the royal dungeon, Nycroft was unfazed by the prison guards' mockery of him and vowed to escape and prove himself. Nycroft summoned a bat-like aid to his side with a component needed to teleport his final invention to the prison cell. Teleporting the large machine to the cell, he stepped inside, and an explosion comes from within. He stepped out in the mutated form of Modulok, and used his greatly bolstered strength to break free from the prison cell. Once free, Modulok contacted Skeletor and offers him his services, but Skeletor was not impressed, dimissing him as a 'wimp scientist'. Skeletor vowed to only accept Modulok into his evil warroprs once he had proven himself. Modulok therefore set out to prove himself by capturing He-Man, though he failed in this scheme. Later, working alone, Modulok appeared to have become the sworn enemy of Man-At-Arms. He captured the heroic warrior Roboto and reprogrammed him to carry out his own evil deeds. He then attempted to experiment on Man-At-Arms, intending to transfer his brain power into his second, cybernetic, head so that he could possess Man-At-Arms' scientific knowledge for himself. Modulok was later seen amongst Skeletor's minions at Snake Mountain, indicating that he had somehow managed to gain acceptance into Skeletor's forces.
