Marvin the Martian was created by Chuck Jones on 7/24/48, and his voice used to be done by Mel Blanc. His voice, since Mel Blanc passed away, has been done by Bob Bergen.

Marvin first met Bugs Bunny in 1948 in "Haredevil Hare". When Marvin first appeared, he was known only as commander-X-23. His original suit was a goldish- brown color then it was changed to the revered color that it is known as today. His voice was also quite different! Marvin will turn 50 years old on July 24, 1998! He looks young for his age, doesn't he?!

• 1996 -- "Marvin the Martian in the 3rd Dimension" This is a 12 minute movie shown only at the Warner Brother's Flagship store in Manhattan on the 8th floor. You take an escalator to the 8th floor after you buy your tickets and get a token per ticket that enables you to get a (small) discount on anything in the store. The characters are of course, Marvin, and Daffy too. The beginning is really neat, and like almost every other 3-D movie, at one point you'll get a splash of water. The doors into the theater swing open by themselves and you hear Marvin's voice. When the movie is over, you have a chance to buy Marvin in 3-D merchandise.
• 1996 -- "Space Jam." Everyone knows this one.
