Marv (Sin City)
Marv is a fictional character in the graphic novel series Sin City, created by Frank Miller. In the 2005 film adaptation, he is played by Mickey Rourke. He first appears in The Hard Goodbye and follows with appearances in A Dame to Kill For, Silent Night, and Just Another Saturday Night. He makes a brief cameo in Blue Eyes (as featured in Lost, Lonely, and Lethal).
Marv is one of the major characters of the series, and appears or is mentioned in nearly every book. He is the protagonist of the first Sin City "yarn", The Hard Goodbye, as well as two shorter installments, Silent Night and Just Another Saturday Night. He also has a supporting role in A Dame to Kill For.
The Hard Goodbye begins as Marv has sex with a beautiful blonde prostitute named Goldie, only to wake up to find her dead and framed for her murder. He escapes from the cops and vows that he will avenge Goldie's death. He kills his way through a chain of small-time thugs to find the people responsible, eventually finding out that Goldie was murdered by a mute, cannibalistic serial killer named Kevin. Kevin is the ward of Cardinal Patrick Henry Roark, and is thus under the protection of the powerful Roark family.
Marv finds Kevin, but the killer gets the upper hand and knocks Marv unconscious. Marv wakes up in Kevin's basement, which is decorated with the heads of prostitutes, put on the mantle like trophies. He also discovers that his parole officer, Lucille, is Kevin's next intended victim; he has already eaten her hand. He escapes with Lucille, who is killed by a squad of Sin City police. Marv, hearing from Lucille that Goldie was a prostitute, heads off to Old Town for more information. But he is interrupted by an ambush from Goldie's twin sister, Wendy, who believes that Marv killed her sister. Eventually he convinces her of his innocence and reluctantly takes her along to the infamous Roark family farm to find Kevin. Marv then finds and subdues Kevin, but Wendy interrupts asking him to let her "finish him". Marv knocks Wendy unconscious so she won't have to watch him kill Kevin, then inflicts on him the most brutal torture he can imagine; he saws off Kevin's legs and slowly feeds the cannibal to his own pet wolf. He then finds Cardinal Roark, who admits that he and Kevin had been killing and cannibalizing prostitutes together and that Kevin killed her because she knew too much. Marv kills Roark in an unspecified (but presumably grisly) manner before the police burst in and shower Marv with bullets.
