![]() ![]() Marv also shows that he can be as ruthless as his partner when angered. He is also displayed as more cautious than Harry on occasion, such as when they prepare to kill Kevin in Central Park upon noticing the number of pigeons in the area, he begins to feel uneasy and suggests that they leave, but his words fall on deaf ears resulting in the duo being incapacitated by the Pigeon Lady. He is also shown to be a bit more reasonable, despite being equally willing to kill Kevin after everything that he has put him through. That said, there are moments where he thinks things through better than Harry often suggesting ideas for their schemes and preventing him from letting his temper cloud his judgment. On the other hand, Marv is a rather gullible and cowardly individual, falling for Kevin's tricks and believing that there are people inside the McCallister house, as well as failing to notice Kevin's traps until he has fallen into them. Overall, Harry remains the more ruthless of the duo since he is more willing to kill others even kids.

Despite their incompetence, Harry and Marv display ferocious determination in their pursuit of Kevin, and prove themselves to be extremely dangerous criminals when he is at their mercy, intending to torture him in the first film and outright attempting to murder him in the second. Harry and Marv are greedy robbers who rob for money and cash, but are also very bad at being criminals as they are continually defeated by Kevin McCallister, who would proceed to cause all manner of cartoonish injury to the hapless duo in defense of his home (at least in the first movie).
