Marvin wears a Roman soldier’s uniform, with basketball shoes. His head is a black sphere with only eyes for features. The curved crest of his helmet appears, with the push-broom-like upper section, to comically resemble an ancient Greek hoplite’s or a Roman Centurion’s helmet. The appearance of the combination of Marvin’s head and helmet allegedly led to Bugs Bunny thinking he was a “bowling ball wearing a spittoon”.
On numerous occasions, Marvin has tried to destroy the Earth with his “Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator”. Marvin always laboriously over-pronounces the name of the device, which resembles a mere stick of dynamite, in order to avoid any possibility of confusing it with some other similar form of explosive technology.
Marvin attempts to destroy the Earth because, he reasons, “it obstructs my view of Venus”; he has been trying to destroy the Earth for more than two millennia, suggesting that members of his species, and possibly martian creatures in general, have extremely long lifespans. Marvin is consistently foiled by Bugs Bunny. He has battled for space territory, Planet X, with Daffy Duck in the 24½th Century.
