Marvin the Martian

Marvin the Martian is a character from Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. He hails from the planet Mars, but is often found elsewhere. He is often accompanied by his dog "K-9" and sometimes by other creatures. Marvin wears a Roman soldier's uniform, with an old-fashioned basketball shoes similar to the Chuck Taylor All-Stars brand name. His head is a black sphere with only eyes for features but no mouth. The curved crest of his helmet appears with the push-broom-like upper section, to comically resemble an ancient Greek hoptile's or a Roman Centurion's helmet. He speaks with a soft, nasally accent, and often speaks technobabble. The helmet and and skirt that surround him are green and his suit is red. It also made Bugs Bunny think Marvin was a bowling ball wearing a spittoon. Marvin is also known for his trademark quotes,"Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom?" and "This makes me very angry indeed."

The voice of Marvin the Martian was Mel Blanc who did Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Speedy Gonzales, Sylvester, Tweety Bird, Foghorn Leghorn, Sam Sheepdog, Barnyard Dawg, Beaky Buzzard, Yosemite Sam, and Tasmanian Devil.
