  Marvin the Paranoid Android - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marvin is paranoid in the literal sense that he deems himself more important than he truly is. Marvin is more obviously afflicted with severe depression and boredom, in part because he has a "brain the size of a planet" which he is seldom allowed to use.
Marvin from the 2005 film is featured in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Exhibition running at the Science Museum in London from May 28, 2005.
Marvin does not actually display signs of paranoia, despite his moniker, nor does he show any signs of mania, though he is referred to as a "manically depressed robot." He remains consistently morose throughout.
