Roadblock's
dream was to be a gourmet chef. He was working as a bouncer to earn
money to attend Escoffier School in France when an army recruiter
convinced him that the army could train him to be a chef. Roadblock
joined but found army menus and preparation techniques too appalling.
Transferred to the infantry. Qualified expert: M-2 Browning .50 cal.;
Heavy Machine Gun; all Warsaw Pact Heavy MGs; M-16; M-1911A1 Auto
Pistol.
"A .50 cal. Browning weighs 84 pounds. Add fifty
pounds for the ammo - that's about 134 pounds of steel generating
2930 f.p.s.in muzzle velocity at a cyclic rate of 550 r.p.m. Anybody
who can handle that doesn't need a machine gun to keep me away!"
Marvin has always loved cooking, and wanted to grow up to become one of the world's greatest chefs. As such, the man worked constantly to attain this goal, doing time as a bouncer to save up enough money to attend the prestigious Escoffier School in France. Things changed once he got there, though. You see, Marvin was contacted by an Army recruiter who told him he could become just as good a chef by studying with the Armed Forces - some of the Army's chefs are the best of the best. Buying this, Marvin then enlisted but quickly found Army cuisine to be atrocious - and transferred to infantry.
While he wasn't doing what he originally wanted to, Marvin found that he enjoyed the Army life, and came to use his impressive physical capabilities as a heavy machine gunner - he's one of the few people who can even lift an M2 .50 Cal machine gun - much less fire it without a tripod or gun mount. His exceptional abilities saw him assigned to an elite unit with Sergeant Hauser, the man who would eventually become Duke. He (and Warrant Officer Fairborne, who would eventually be known as Flint) are known to have participated in all kinds of special missions, though their specifics are still classified.
Hauser was so impressed with Marvin's abilities and personality that, when he was assigned to the G.I. Joe team as it's 'first shirt', he brought Marvin along with him. Their very first mission on the Joe team was quite a success, too, in that it saw them capturing, at long last, the one and only Cobra Commander! Even if he escaped shortly thereafter. The point is that Marvin showed that he was a valuable addition to the Joes' ranks, and has proved it time and time again over the years. This earned him a spot on the team's elite 'Tiger Force' unit, not to mention it's highly classified 'Star Brigade' squad.
Over the years, Marvin has grown to become the veritable heart of the G.I. Joe team, being incredibly patriotic yet not preachy about it. The fact that he's incredibly likable, not to mention one of the greatest cooks the team's operatives have ever experienced, has only helped to bring this about. Of course, all good things come to an end, and at the end of 1994, the G.I. Joe team was disbanded, the threat that it was formed to fight supposedly no longer serious enough - as if terrorism ever sleeps. Seeing this as an opportunity, Marvin decided to get back into cooking, and did so with style!
