Who is Marvin F. Hinton?

Marvin F. Hinton, codenamed Roadblock, is a powerhouse infantryman and heavy machine gunner who joined the elite G.I. Joe team to fight Cobra. An unlikely dual talent, he is also a classically trained gourmet chef.

Marvin F. Hinton stepped onto the Bronze Age comics scene in 1984, introduced by artist Jim Mooney in the pages of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero β€” The Capture of Cobra Commander, and he's been a fixture of that universe ever since. With 144 catalog appearances spanning an impressive four-plus decades β€” right up to 2026 β€” and seven key issues to his name, this is a character with genuine staying power in Marvel's beloved military action franchise. He shares his adventures with some of the most iconic names in the G.I. Joe roster: Shana O'Hara, Scarlett, Duke, Conrad S. Hauser, and the legendary Snake-Eyes, placing him squarely in the thick of the action across the series' most celebrated runs. For collectors and fans alike, Marvin F. Hinton is the kind of deep-cut character whose long, consistent presence rewards anyone willing to dig into the full breadth of what G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero has to offer.
