History Characters / MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur2023

!!! Voiced by: Creator/XoloMarideuna

* MrExposition: Given that Marvin is a Kree warrior and scientist, his expertise comes in incredibly handy when Lunella spots a Kree artifact in a museum on Earth in "In the Heist". He informs Lunella that she's looking at the Crystal of Korath, a sacred Kree artifact used during the "Bloodvember" festival to create intense weather conditions for contestants, including tornadoes and sulfuric rain.

* LazyBum: Not very jazzed about being assigned to assess Earth, and despite his incredible cosmic abilities, the Beyonder opts to just judge humanity through Luna's actions since that's easier than doing so with everyone on the planet.

* TechnologicallyBlindElders: Downplayed. Mimi claims to never use the internet, but she's actually reasonably capable of navigating it on her own. However, she's never thought about looking at online reviews of her rink despite being co-business owners with her husband for decades. [[spoiler:This is subverted when Mimi is revealed to be the Original Moon Girl and is in fact an extremely proficient coder and engineer whose work was integral to the development of Morlak's portal generator. Her familiarity with computers is a bit of {{Foreshadowing}} to her former life as a scientist.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: After impressing his father, Marvin is released from his mission to capture a superhero. He becomes an ally of Lunella's from then on.

Mimi's old friends from college, Merle and Matsuye are a pair of cutting-edge scientists who run their lab, HT Technologies out of a humble abode in the desert.

* AscendedExtra[=/=]CanonForeigner: Played with. Angelo's name and Symbiote affiliation is based on the "ComicBook/SpiderMan" comic book character Angelo Fortunato, who debuted and died in the span of three 2006 issues of "ComicBook/MarvelKnightsSpiderMan". That Angelo was a temporary host to the Venom Symbiote, between Eddie Brock and MacGargan. [[StrawLoser Considered an unambitious loser]], the young adult Angelo lucked into bonding with Venom and decided to turn things around and make a name for himself by taking out [[HeroKiller Spider-Man]]. He fails, even taking out a costumed civilian, instead, only to run afoul of the actual Spider-Man, [[CurbStompBattle get beat]], and then flee. The Venom Symbiote abandons him not long after [[KilledOffForReal in the midst of Angelo jumping between buildings]]. However, this version of Angelo, who while similarly down on his luck as an activist, is a 13-year-old kid who grows envious of Moon Girl's community accomplishments that he simply cannot live up to, all without being characterized or treated as a StrawLoser. So while both Angelo incarnations hold undue enmity towards a hero, this show's version is considerably more understandable, even if still not justified. And beyond that, his Symbiote form, called Syphonator, was created whole-cloth for the show, [[YouDontLookLikeYou not even resembling most other versions of Symbiotes across different media]].

A Kree warrior who flunked out of his combat academy three times. He has been dispatched to Earth to capture a superhero in the name of the Kree Empire on behalf of his father, General Pad-Varr. He goes undercover as "Marvin Ellis" at Lunella school in hopes of tracking down and securing Moon Girl.

* LesYay. Maybe a ''touch'' of it with Merle and Matsuye.

* ActorAllusion: It might not be a coincidence that this is the second [[Film/BlueBeetle blue-colored superbeing]] that Xolo Mariduena has played.

* NerdsAreSexy: It's implied that one of the main reasons he likes Lunella is because of her intelligence, as during his fantasy sequence of going to the school dance with her in "Dancing With Myself," he's shown to be amazed by a science cancautuon she made.

* AdaptationalSecrecyDowngrade: [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]] Where in the original comics, the general public immediately deduces Lunella's secret identity as Moon Girl, here she keeps up the masquerade very well with only three people knowing Moon Girl's secret identity: Casey, LOS-307, [[spoiler:and her grandmother]].

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the comics, Lunella's superhero alias "Moon Girl" started out as a teasing nickname from bullies. In the show, it comes from a long-lost scientist whom Lunella admires but doesn't know the real name of. Also, in the comics Lunella accidentally summoned Devil Dinosaur with a Kree device that she was using to suppress her Inhuman genes, while here it was with a machine that Lunella mistook for a power generator.

* LovingBully: Between his reaction to Lunella intentionally locking him out of their science fair project and a scene in "Skip This Ad...olescence" where his future self is seen taking her to a school dance, it's possible that his constant trolling and ribbing towards Lunella is a way of covering up his own attraction towards her.

* AmbiguouslyBi: In "Dancing With Myself", one of the students she considers asking to the dance was a girl, though it's possible she was just desperate and only wanted to go as friends like she suggested to Casey.

* AmbidextrousSprite: His pompadour often switches which side it is on depending on where the Beyonder is facing, although generally leans toward the right when facing the camera.
