Marty (Steven Universe)

Marty is a character in Steven Universe who first appeared in "Story for Steven" as the main antagonist. He was formerly Greg Universe's manager until Greg abandoned him, prefering to stay in Beach City to be with Rose Quartz. He was voiced by Jon Wurster.

Season 1
Marty first appeared in a photo of him and Greg together. Steven asked what happened to Marty and Greg replies saying that Marty "is dead to him". Greg told to Steven that he considered Marty a friend for him, but what Greg didn't realize is that Marty was just using him for his greed all this time to get more money, taking 75% of the profits of each concert they went. Marty also never cared about his position as manager of Greg, as he instead of helping Greg with the merchandise, Marty always wanted to hang out with Vidalia in Greg's van. Marty even insulted Greg when he committed a simple error and always contratdicted Greg's words. Then, when Greg wanted to stay with Rose, Marty taunted him saying that he could have more girls than a "one huge woman". While they discussed, a truck almost hit them but Marty achieved to turn the van. Greg finally asked why Marty is so mean to him and Marty replied saying that he is his manager and as such, he will take Greg to another city to force him to sing and he will like it. Furious for how Marty treated him all the time, Greg yells at Marty ordering him to get out of the van, but when Marty denied in doing so, Greg kicks Marty from his van leaving him in the road. When the flashback ended, Steven holds the photo of him and Greg saying that he was the worst, however, Greg also thanks Marty because if it wasn't for him, he never could meet Rose. He is last seen in the episode when Greg puts the photo of him and Marty together.
