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.' The helmet and skirt that surround him are green and his suit is red (in a few of the original shorts, his suit was green).

Marvin speaks with a soft, nasally accent, and often speaks technobabble. 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' in 1 cartoon. 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. His head is a black sphere with only eyes for features. The style of these resembles the Chuck Taylor All-Stars brand name, considered to be the 'generic' or 'standard' basketball sneaker. Marvin wears a Roman soldier's uniform, with old-fashioned basketball shoes. He is often accompanied by his dog K-9, and sometimes by other creatures (one gag, first used in Hare-Way To The Stars, being candy-sized 'Instant Martians' that become full-size on addition of drops of water). Marvin hails from the planet of Mars, but is often found elsewhere. Marvin was never named in the original shorts (although he was called 'Commander Flying Saucer X-2' in the 1952 film-short The Hasty Hare), but decades later, when the character attracted merchandising interest, the current name was selected. Marvin is the quietest of the Looney Tunes villains, and the most soft-spoken, and unlike most of the other villains, he is very clever. However, he is a funny cartoon character like the other villains. Unlike the other Looney Tunes villains, Marvin can be actually evil at most points, and not just daft.

Marvin The Martian made his debut in the 1948 cartoon Haredevil Hare. Director Chuck Jones noticed that Bugs Bunny soon began to outwit Yosemite Sam (the creation of 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 also suitably dangerous.
