'''Marvin the Martian''', also occasionally known as '''Commander X-2''', is a major character from the ''Looney Tunes'' franchise. Considered one of the most notable recurring villains, Marvin is a alien from Mars who constantly has plans to destroy the Earth or claim planets for his home planet. His demeanor is meant as a large contrast to other villains in the series; while calm and polite in presentation he is the most dangerous and destructive of any villain in the series. He is often accompanied with his dog K-9, who aids in his plots. Marvin, at the time without a proper name, appeared in only five shorts during the initial theatrical run, starting with 1948's ''Haredevil Hare''. Four of those were against [[Bugs Bunny]]; the fifth, 1953's ''Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century'', pitted him against [[Daffy Duck]] and Porky Pig and is often considered among the top 10 best theatrical animation shorts ever made.

Line 25:

Marvin has had a long history in the [[Mr. /co/lympus]] tournaments, culminating in what's considered one of the greatest surprise runs in tournament history by finishing 4th in [[Mr. /co/lympus 2021]]. He remains the lowest seed in any tournament to reach the top 4.

Marvin will next be eligible to compete in ~~2023~~.

==Tournament History==

Line 50:

Despite falling short, Marvin's surprise run is considered by many to be the highlight of the tournament. With inconsistent results, it remains to be seen if Marvin can make another deep run.

=== 2023 ===

Marvin returned in 2023 with his highest seed ever at #51. He tore through newcomer [[Riley Freeman]] from ''The Boondocks'' in his initial returning run, but had an unfortunate early loss whenever he lost to fellow returnee [[Samurai Jack]]. While the match itself was a blowout, it's disputable to call it an embarrassing defeat. Jack would go on to tear through every single opponent he faced minus (in a twist of irony) eventual champion Skeletor, even with him being a silent pick up until relatively late in the tournament. Regardless, Marvin's third run would end in another swift defeat.

Marvin will most likely return once again in 2024, where it remains to be seen how well he will fare.
