He was created without a name. He was supposed to just be something goofy for 'Power Hour'.

But so many fans loved him, gave him attention, that he became an Ego. His creator hadn't realized it. Not at first. When he had, the need to give the magician a name had made him unable to think of one. Seán had tried. He really had. But as the time stretched on when the magician remained nameless, his creator had slowly forgotten.

So, his fellow Septics came up with names. Jackieboy called him 'Catman' since it sound like a superhero name. Anti called him Mage. When Schneep came around, it was Mask, or Cat/Katze. Chase was always using something different, while even some of the Ipliers had their own names for him.

Marvin. Marvin the Magnificent. Seán had made it official in a SepticArt video.

He had a name! A real name!

Under that mask, confused eyes had turned bright; forced smiles became genuine.

Funny, how something as simple as getting a name had made Marvin completely forgive his creator, made him able to focus so much easier on his spells.


Like all the Egos, Marvin's strength comes from how much attention/popularity he gets from the fans. His abilities include:

-Teleportation: Can travel on his own or with one other companion when he does this. When he teleports, he grabs the edge of his cape and swipes it in front of himself (companion gets pulled close to his side). As the cape moves upward, it appears as though they are being erased, then the cape disappears in a burst of confetti. His companion will black out until reaching his desired destination. If his companion has a weak stomach, they'll usually feel sick by the time they get there.

-Magic: As an Ego and magician, he's possibly one of the most powerful magic-users in their plane or at least among the YouTube Egos, with Wilford as an equal. He can make things appear out of thin air, enchant things, and even turn one thing into something else. Ironically, he loves fake stage-magic, but is really bad at it unless he fixes the trick with real magic! Some other things related to this include levitation, creating doors to teleport others to certain locations (with help from Wilford), and surrounding other things with his aura as a means to protect them/keep something from getting near it.

-Revival: So far, he has only shown this ability by bringing plants back to life. It's unknown if he could do so with something sentient, and he's not willing to try.

-Card Up Your Sleeve: Marvin has a single card for every Septic and Iplier. He can use these cards to tell him how the others are doing, but will mainly use them to help the doctors keep an Ego in critical stable. It's possible that, to do this, he pulls from his Revival ability. As he has one of the others, everyone else instead has a single card: Marvin's. Their card allows for them to call out to him, and gives him their location. All they need to do is tear a corner/punch a hole in it, and Marvin is immediately alerted. Destroying the cards makes them impossible to track, however. A few of the Ipliers have done this.
