  • Marvin the Martian (or Marvin Martian) is a fictional character appearing in the Looney Tunes cartoons. Despite appearing in only five of the original shorts, Marvin has developed a cult following. Marvin's likeness appears in miniature on both the Spirit and Opportunity rovers on Mars.
  • The Marvin the Martian has been released in the following 1/64 scale versions:
  • Marvin the Martian is the voice of Mel Blanc and it's set for a Christmas release date. Not much is known about the film, other that it will be about Marvin attack during Christmas.
  • Marvin the Martian is an alien who appears in the FBI lineup in The Springfield Files.
  • An avid astronomer, Marvin desires the clearest view for his telescope, eliminating star systems and planets that obstruct his view, using his weapon of choice, the Eludium Pu-36 Explosive Space Modulator (this Earth-shattering device resembles a large firecracker). His support troops consists of a green dog (K-9), and a bottle of 1000 Instant Martians, to which he merely has to add water.
  • Marvin the Martian is a fictional character that appears as Bugs Bunny's primary enemy in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons.
  • Marvin the Martian is a villain in Kingdom Hearts II ½. He is one of the bosses in Looney Tune Land.
  • Marvin the Martian is a character from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. Marvin the Martian appears in two Drawn Together episodes: "Charlotte's Web of Lies" (where he is seen in Ling-Ling's Anger Management group with Hulk, Skeletor. He has also made an appearance in "Toot Goes Bollywood", in which he was waiting his turn to have a stiletto stuck in his butt for earth dollars.
  • Marvin is actually quite a nice guy, that is if you don't anger him. Angering him is a bad idea because if he gets too anrgy he'll resume his plans to destroy Earth.
  • Marvin the Martian was a member of the Last Brigade in the series Generic Quest.
  • Animation director Chuck Jones noted that Bugs Bunny soon began to outwit Yosemite Sam (the creation of the senior director, Friz Freleng), so he decided to create the opposite type of character; one who was quiet and soft-spoken, but whose actions were incredibly destructive and legitimately dangerous. Marvin the Martian made his debut in 1948's Haredevil Hare. Marvin was never named in the original shorts (though he was called the Commander of Flying Saucer X-2 in The Hasty Hare in 1952), but decades later, when the character attracted merchandising interest, the current name was selected.
  • Marvin the Martian only makes a few appearances on the show, with only one prominent role. Marvin appears with his protege, Marcia, in the Return to the Acme Acres Zone episode segment, Duck Dodgers Jr., also starring Plucky Duck and Daffy Duck. In the short, Daffy reprises his role as Duck Dodgers of the 241/2 Century, with Plucky serving as his trusty sidekick. Their mission is to stop a matter transmogrifier from sucking up the entire universe, which Marvin and Marcia are behind. While Daffy and Marvin fight over the universe, Plucky and Marcia go off to play together.
  • As Marvin was not a major character in the original Looney Tunes shorts, he did not appear in any Christmas productions until the 2006 direct-to-video film Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas. In the film, he appears as an employee at Daffy Duck's "Lucky Duck Super Store". Marvin is homesick for his planet, Mars, and wants to go back for Christmas (though he does also mention that he is still planning to destroy the Earth). At first, Daffy refuses to let him take Christmas off, since he expects the employees to work on Christmas Day. After being visited by the abrasive yet well-intentioned Christmas ghosts, the reformed Daffy gives Marvin a rocket that will go faster than the speed of light, allowing him to make it to Mars by yesterday.
  • Marvin hails from the planet Mars, but is often found elsewhere. He is often accompanied by his dog "K-9", and sometimes by other creatures (one gag, first used in Hare-Way to the Stars (1957), being candy-sized "Instant Martians" that become full-size on addition of drops of water).
  • Marvin The Martian is one of the main antagonists of the Looney Tunes franchise, created, much like Yosemite Sam, out of the need to make a challenging foe for the ever-tricky rabbit known as Bugs Bunny. While Elmer Fudd was considered too dimwitted to be a threat, Wile E. Coyote was just a predator, Taz was overly ravenous, and Yosemite Sam was quickly becoming just as hopeless, the creators of Looney Tunes felt the time had come for Bugs Bunny to meet a new kind of villain altogether, a villain who is both very clever and who posed a true threat.
