What’s the benefit of MODOK’s forehead blazing

marvel-vs-capcom-3ultimate-mvc3

In at least Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (and UMvC3), when MODOK hits someone with an "Analyze cube", power seems to be drawn to him from the impact and causes his forehead to blaze with a pink fire. It seems to power up certain moves of his. Is Analyze cube the only way to charge up? Which moves does it affect? What's its function?

Best Answer

Analysis Cube

Analysis Cube (sometimes referred to as Analyze Cube) is one of M.O.D.O.K.'s special moves. M.O.D.O.K. summons a scientific virtual cube and when it hits its opponent, their energy is drained into the LED on M.O.D.O.K.'s forehead to increase the power of his Psionic Blaster.

Analysis Cube adds a "LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING" (LOU)

Levels Of Understanding

LOUs make M.O.D.O.K specials and Hyper combos deal more damage and have different effects. Different levels are shown via the flame on M.O.D.O.K's headband. It goes from pink, to Violet, with an increasingly larger flame as well.
- Can hold up to 9 LOUs
- Special moves use up 1 LOU, hypers use up all 9 of them

Special Moves affected by LOU

Psionic Blaster - charged with LOU's
Jamming Bomb - Only available with LOU's
Giant Aegis Reflector - Only available with LOU's. Size of giant Aegis depends upon LOU's

Hyper Moves affected by LOU

Hyper Psionic Blaster - charged with LOU's
Killer Illumination - Its damage depends upon the number of LOU's
Limit Burst - Most likely LOU chargable
