History Characters / TwentyFourMarwanGroup

* KickTheSonOfABitch: His murder of Marianne Taylor doesn't seem all that bad considering the type of person she was.

->'''Played By:''' Anil Kumar

->'''Played By:''' Tony Plana

* CatharsisFactor: Zigzagged. While his death is not satisfactory per se, given he dies in more or less his own terms, it is more of a relief to finally see him gone.

* GambitRoulette: One major criticism of the character, and Season 4 in general, is how utterly ridiculous his plot (and constant escaping) was. This was in part because he was supposed to be a DiscOneFinalBoss, but the writers were having trouble coming up with a BiggerBad to replace him, so they just decided to make Marwan the villain throughout the whole season, necessitating his constant escapes.
** How many of his plots (besides the fact a single guy managing and planning all this stretches belief up to breaking point) and his escapea depend of luck, the plot bending to him, and idiot ball from.all others is astonishing.

* InvincibleVillain: He would have been gone much sooner, but the writers liked him too much, as a result he constantly manages to counter CTU and get away with his crimes for an entire season. Administrivia/TropesAreTools is in play, because he is actually one of the more popular villains of 24.

* VillainExitStageLeft / PoliceAreUseless: One of the masters of the former trope in any form of fiction, and the master of it in 24. He evaded the authorities ''five times''.

* WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief: Even for 24's universe, he pushes it too far.

* GambitRoulette: One major criticism of the character, and Season 4 in general, is how utterly ridiculous his plot (and constant escaping) was. Website/TelevisionWithoutPity gave him the FanNickname "Imhoterror", in reference to Arnold Vosloo's role in ''Film/TheMummy1999'' and his nigh-magical escapes. This was in part because he was supposed to be a DiscOneFinalBoss, but the writers were having trouble coming up with a BiggerBad to replace him, so they just decided to make Marwan the villain throughout the whole season, necessitating his constant escapes.

* BondVillainStupidity: Launching the nuke to L.A. Any other close big city would have done it better and faster, and with an almost equal level of disaster.

* TheChessmaster: Plot of Train+Plot of abduction+Plot of Override+Plot of shutting down the Air Force Down+Getting the Nuclear Football, getting a nuke, and launching it. And those are just the big plans.

* OffscreenVillainDarkmatter: As a result of the writers stretching him across more than half the season as the villain, he appears to have nigh-unlimited resources (and there is not an explaination of how he acquired them).
* PlotArmor: The only reason he keeps escaping and surviving, and being able to succeed in his plans. The entire plot of the show seems to bend to allow him to do what he needs (Plot Holes + everyone holdong the Idiot Ball).

** He then escaped the wreckage of Air Force One.

* GoOutWithASmile: Gives a SlasherSmile as he commits suicide by forcing Jack to [[DisneyVillainDeath drop him to his death]].

%%* AbusiveParents: His father mostly, although his mother ends up killing his girlfriend by poisoning her as she suspected Behrooz couldn't do it, she does not want to kill him while his father is more than willing to do just that.

%%* TokenGoodTeammate
%%* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He is captured by Marwan's men and is never seen again after this.

%%* AbusiveParents

->'''Played By:''' Dagmara Dominczyk

* InvincibleVillain: He would have been gone much sooner, but the writers liked him too much, as a result he constantly manages to counter CTU and get away with his crimes for an entire season. TropesAreNotBad is in play, because he is actually one of the more popular villains of 24.

* InvincibleVillain: If it was not for the fact the writers couldn't come up with another villain, he would have been gone much sooner. Instead, he is dragged across half a season, making him a Villain Sue. All and all, he feels more like a comic book villain than a 24 villain.

* PlotArmor: The only reason he keeps escaping and surviving, and being able to succeed in his plans. The entire plot of the show seems to bend to allow him to do what he needs (Plot Holes + everyone holdong the Idiot Ball)

* PlotArmor: The only reason he keeps escaping and surviving, and being able to succeed in his plans.

* AffablyEvil

* OffscreenVillainDarkmatter: As a result of the writers stretching him across more than half the season as the villain, he appears to have nigh-unlimited resources.

%%* FallenHero

* IveComeTooFar: He actually seems to seriously consider Jack's plea to not fire on Air Force One for a moment, only to ultimately ignore him and go through with it.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Although he only appears in a few episodes, his shooting down Air Force One and putting President Keeler out of commission causes Charles Logan to be sworn in to take his place. This in turn causes a lot of the troubles that occur for the rest of the series, both directly and indirectly.

%%* MamaBear

* HoneyTrap: She's been having an affair with pilot John Hansen as part of a plan to steal a military jet.

* DiscOneFinalBoss
