Shattered Grid[]
The HyperForce Rangers detected an energy surge passing through the Hyperstream to an unknown world. They followed to investigate and arrived at an alternate Newtech City where they were drawn into a three-way conflict between Scorpina, and Finster 5 until the arrival of Lord Drakkon. 
TV STORY-Shattered Grid Part 1 (HyperForce)
Upon learning that Scorpina intended to reawaken the downed Serpentera, the team were forced into a temporary alliance with Drakkon to stop her. Unsuccessful in preventing its reactivation, the Rangers crashed the War Zord into the ocean. Receiving Zordon's call through the Morphin Grid, they traveled to the future. TV STORY-Shattered Grid Part 2 (HyperForce)
Marv and the other HyperForce Rangers, now joined by Joe Shih, were among the numerous Rangers who rallied at the Command Center before confronting Lord Drakkon.
COMIC STORY- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Boom! Studios) Issue 29
Marv and the other Rangers have their Morphers upgraded by Doctor K, so he along with the other HyperForce Rangers doesn't get their powers stolen. Marvin was there to hear Jason's rousing speech at the Command Center, preparing among other Rangers to be teleported on the moon of the World of the Coinless for the fight against Drakkon and his Ranger Sentries, led by Jason. COMIC STORY- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Boom! Studios) Issue 30
The HyperForce Rangers with other Rangers before they destroy Serpentera.
In the final battle against Lord Drakkon, Marv is one of the few Rangers left with access to a Zord, after Jen Scotts was able to access Time Force's computer to determine which Zords were able to be combined. It was determined that the HyperForce Megazord was able to merge with Kendall Morgan's Plesio Zord, Kat's Zeo Super Zord I, and RJ's Wolf Zord.
Marv was seen among the other Rangers in the newly-merged Megazord's cockpit piloting the Mega Megazord and easily destroyed the evil Zord Serpentera. Impaled it with Lord Drakkon's tower. But a gigantic version of Lord Drakkon fully merged with the Morphin Grid. Reality begins to unravel as a blinding white light envelops Marv and the other Rangers as they vanish into nothingness while reality begins to be re-written, leaving his fate unknown. COMIC STORY- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Shattered Grid Finale Issue 1
Marv's timeline is later restored by the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers after they defeated Drakkon.
Enter the Green Ranger[]
Following Drakkon's defeat, Marv and the others were returned prior to the detection of the energy surge in the Hyperstream. They had no memory of traveling to the World of the Coinless and the events that followed but still had the physical remnants of that time. The Rangers returned to 3017 and attended Joe and Nadira's wedding, after which they were joined by Joe as the new Green HyperForce Ranger in traveling to 2007 to protect the Corona Aurora from the Alliance. TV STORY-Enter The Green Ranger
The HyperForce Rangers and a collection of allies traveled to 1998 to prevent the Alliance from capturing Zordon. They were unsuccessful and pursued the escaping villains. TV STORY-Finale (Part 1)
After catching up to the Alliance's fleet in the timestream, the Rangers split up to search each ship for Zordon. Marv and Joe boarded one together and instead found the captured Lucas Kendall.
After reuniting, the HyperForce Rangers and rescued Time Force Rangers returned to a completely rewritten future in 3017 that included giant statues of Rita, Zedd and Thrax. Leaving the Time Force team behind, the HyperForce team departed into the past to rescue Zordon and restore the timeline. TV STORY-Season Finale

Rangers[]
- HyperForce Rangers - Teammates
- Eddie Banks: Marv and Eddie are best friends.
- Vesper Vasquez: Vesper is one of Marv's closest friends. They have a sweet brother-sister relationship and will confide with each other. With him trusting her with the secret of being an alien and her being the first one to comfort him when he explains the reason why he initially sneaked into the Time Force Academy. The relate to each other with being the outsiders of the team, not being exactly human/ They also seem to have the same thought process and humor sometimes. Marv has shown to be very protective of Vesper. Not wanting her to be taken advantage of and getting hurt. For example, when the team was in Angel Grove, a guy was hitting on her after doing backflips on a balance beam and Marv seemed kind of annoyed after saying, "She's taken." When Vesper died, he was the one who as devasted/pissed as Eddie. Maybe even a little bit more. (Literally, this has to be one of Marv's angriest moments on the show.) To him, his sister for better or worse died in front of him. And he seemed to understand that Vesper sacrificed herself to protect the Corona Auroura to protect the lives of others and there was no way in hell, he was going to let her die for nothing. She's also just as protective of him. When Marv was captured by the Alliance, she took charge and was very determined to get him back. When Vesper told Eddie that she wasn't ready to be in a relationship after meeting her family, Marv who is Eddie's best friend, comforted her and told her that it's good she's taking care of herself and with the intensity of the situation, Eddie will understand and that he's a good guy. Overall, they care deeply about each other. When Vesper died Marv took it personally and fully accepted his position as the leader of the Hyperforce Rangers. When Vesper was brought back to life, Marv wanted to make sure nothing bad would happen to her or his team again.
- Chloe Ashford: Both Marvin and Chloe joined Time Force to find their missing family members.
- Jack Thomas: Marv and Jack have a shaky relationship rattled by distrust. Prior to the events of the story, Marv passed himself off as his brother to infiltrate Time Force in order to find out what happened to him. Jack discovered this and ensured that Marv's facade would not continue, although Marv was allowed to start from the bottom as a student. Jack trusts Jen's judgment in assigning the leadership position to Marv, though he still remains wary, quick to bring up their history as a reminder of what happens to those who make bad decisions.

After saving Marv from the Alliance Ship, Joe had to leave again, but Marv was glad that his brother was alive.
