Read more about Martin Mystery at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marathon Martin Mystery is an animated television series by Marathon Production. It is based on the Italian comic, Martin Mystère. The series reimagines the title character Martin Mystery and his stepsister Diana Lombard (after Martin's mother's death, Martin's father married Diana's mom) as 16-year-olds attending Torrington Academy, a high school in Sherbrooke, Quebec. They work for the covert organization "The Center", which secretly protects the people of Earth from extraterrestrial and supernatural threats. Like all secret organizations,such as WOOHP, they must keep their work secret, thus anyone who comes too close to their missions, i.e. seeing a monster, will have their memories of the event erased. Not everyone who works for the organization is human. The short and green-skinned alien, Billy, is one of Martin's best friends. Java works as a lunch server of Diana and Martin's school and is a caveman from 200,000 years ago; he also aids Martin and Diana on their missions. As far as "The Center" is concerned, Martin's vast knowledge of the supernatural and his remarkable intuition compensate for his poor personal hygiene and huge ego. Diana resents these qualities at times, as Martin often does not seem to understand the seriousness of his missions, but generally loves him like any real brother. In a small twist of irony, Diana and Martin are lovers in the original comics version, and not step-siblings. ;Martin Mystery :Martin is just like any other 16-year-old, and has a wild passion for the paranormal, but after unwillingly solving an "amazing out-of-this-world mystery," he finds himself working as a paranormal investigator for "The Center." Whether at school or on a mission, he always remains the same outrageous immature teen, constantly bursting with energy. He seldom thinks before he leaps into danger, often to help someone in peril. He is an underachiever at school, once getting 106 out of 902 in his report card results. Martin has a peculiar love for everything slimy, sloppy and gooey - things that make Diana gag. Martin loves to play pranks and creep out his stepsister, who often retaliates with physical abuse. He is also seen in Totally Spies saying that Sam is just like his sister which makes her mad. As the leader of the trio, Martin is also the only one who wears a U-Watch. Martin's favorite hobby is teasing Diana. A running gag in the series is Martin falling in love with every good-looking girl he meets, who usually reject him by using verbal or (in Jenni's case) physical abuse. Voiced by Sam Vincent. |
