Powers and Abilities
Powers/Tactics: Marv is huge, that's his main power. He is very tough, especially in a fight, and not even bullets slow him down much. His immense strength allows him to climb some pretty sheer surfaces, and hisÕs far more agile than one might think.
Marv's prized possession is Gladys, a Colt .45 automatic he acquired a number of years ago, and is named after the toughest nun in his old school. With Gladys in hand, Marv feels much better about things, and is more than willing to tackle the opposition.
Marv's skills are pretty typical for someone who is basically a street-level thug. Kadie runs "Kadie's" a country joint, and Marv has done a lot of jobs for her, which is why he is never cut off and always drinks for free at her place. Lucille is his parole officer, and itÕs her lesbian lover, Claire, that supplies Marv with the drugs he needs to keep his condition under control. In Sin City Marv states that no one can sneak up on him, which is why he is so surprised by Kevin's attack at the farm.
