Marvin hails from the planet of Mars, but is often found elsewhere he wants to be your friend forever :) Marvin wears a Roman soldier’s uniform, with old-fashioned basketball shoes. The helmet and skirt that surround him are green and his suit is red. Marvin speaks with a soft, nasally accent, and often speaks technobabble. He is also known for his quotes “Where’s the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!”, “Isn’t that lovely?”, and “This makes me very angry, very angry indeed.”
