Biography[]

In the episode "You Forgot Your Floaties", Magic Man and Betty preform a ritual using Grob Gob Glob Grod's helmet. This ritual transports the two into a flashback, where Betty disguises herself as M.A.R.G.L.E.S..

M.A.R.G.L.E.S. is first seen encased in a crystal being awoken by Magic Man, who introduces himself and his brother Grob Gob Glob Grod. Glob pulled Magic Man aside and admitted he felt M.A.R.G.L.E.S. was a way for Magic Man to cope with Margles' death. Magic Man reassures Glob that she was created to defend Mars from GOLB, but Glob remarked that he worried that Magic Man's feelings for his late wife may have compromised his spell-programing.

The scene switches to the two making their way up the mountain, where M.A.R.G.L.E.S. asks why Magic Man didn't "magic" them to the top. Magic Man admits that he wanted to know more about her because he created her in a "deep-trance state". M.A.R.G.L.E.S. replied by informing him that everything she was was in him, so he'd better know himself. Magic Man then teleported the both of them to the top, but then immediately insisted that they go back down, confusing M.A.R.G.L.E.S. Magic Man then began to relay how much he missed his wife. The feelings he kept inside about her passing became stronger over hundreds of years, which allowed him to create her. She then began her transformation, much to the distress of Magic Man, who begged for her to turn back. She then screamed that she came from his nightmares, causing and the scene then cut to her falling off of the mountain.

Trivia[]

  • The words in the acronym M.A.R.G.L.E.S. where most likely thought of after her creation, as Magic Man admits he wanted to name her Margles.
  • It was stated twice that M.A.R.G.L.E.S. was created from Magic Man's nightmares. It is never specified whether this is meant to imply that her creation was inspired by Magic Man's nightmares or if she was quite literally a manifestation of his nightmares.
  • When the defense system mode is activated, her pose heavily resembles that of Ɖliphas LĆ©vi's vision of Baphomet as the "Sabbatic goat". This may be symbolic because of the fact that she was created from nightmares and created to fend off a malevolent being.
