No, he is not longer a man now that he is M.O.D.O.K.
The only part of him left is his head, technically speaking. He's not a man.

One - Reported.Two: you are in error about MODOK. Next.
Yes, because a mod is going to warn me as opposed to the grown man acting like a child.
I'm not wrong, I'm factually correct. He's not a man. Not in any way, but especially not in the sense that he'd be relevant in a discussion about smartest men.

I agree with "Cyborg". However, that doesn't mean he stopped being a man the moment he was augmented. If you knew anything about the comics, you'd know that despite his uber augmented smarts, his human side constantly got in the way of reason...because, guess what? He's man under all that technology.
No, that's because his over-sized, augmented head is the only part of him left. That's where his brain is. He is not a man because he has a head, stop being ridiculous.
He is an android or if you want to give his head recognition, a cyborg. He was still irrelevant in this discussion, because that intelligence isn't even Tarleton's.

Then there's his different incarnations. At one point, I believe his consciousness was completely data. That might have happened on more than one occasion. I can't remember.
Google is a wonderful thing.
I find it funny that earlier you had to do research to see if I was right, "as if (you) ever doubted.", and now you're claiming to be some expert on a Marvel villain.

He has many incarnates and forms of mentality.
So? He's still not a man in any relevant sense to this discussion.
The original point was: "Banner is one of the smartest men in the Marvel world.", he is, that's fact. M.O.D.O.K. does not count because he is not a true man nor is the intelligence his. So why bring him up? Even if he was a "man", it wouldn't matter, because it's not his intelligence.

Great. They are augmented men, though.
Hahahahaha. Banner is not augmented, what are you talking about?
How on EARTH is Dr. Doom augmented? Wait...you think he's a robot...? Dr. Doom has had nothing augmented. He is a pure human. Everything he owns is either his own invention or magic that he has learned. He hasn't had any artificial permanent augmentation.

Right, because you fell into what I thought one of you would. If an augmented man is no longer called a man, then that disqualifies any augments, right? Despite the fact that Bruce Banner's power does NOT make him smarter, he doesn't count because he's been augmented.
He hasn't been augmented. Bruce Banner is a man that becomes something NATURALLY MUTANT, and reverts back to, something completely human, COMPLETELY. He is a fully functioning, unaugmented human being. He does not possess any additional powers as Banner, technically. What he has as Hulk he does not have as Banner.
Tarleton actually got augmented and changed into an android or cyborg forever.

Before MODOK started being changed all around, could you sample his DNA and come up with a tangible male nucleotide sequence? YES!Man? I'd wager he'd, on paper, be more of a man than say, Banner beceause banner's fundemental structure was changed. LOL! SO I WIN AGAIN! hahahahahahaha narf.
No, he's not a man, he's an android OR cyborg.
Banner is a human man. I can't wait to hear how Dr. Doom was augmented.
