  • Marvin was originally unnamed within the classic shorts, but was labelled as the Commander of Flying Saucer X-2 in the 1952 short The Hasty Hare. In the late 1970s, following the popularity of Star Wars in the decade, the character was briefly given the name "Antwerp" in promotional material. The name "Marvin" was first assigned to him in The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie in 1979, as "Marvin Martian."
    • The name "X-2" would later be used for Marvin's Duck Dodgers counterpart.
