Marvin Hinton Born in 1979 to a government procurement family (slave family). He grew up listening to stories about freedom and equal rights from his grandfather as bed time stories. About how there was a great civil was that freed all of the blacks from slavery and were free to work where they wanted, live where they wanted, and love whomever they wanted. His Grandfather was the only-one to speak of such things. No-one else in the family dared speak the word of Lincoln in the house. He swore to his grandfather that he would not forget those stories and tell his children.

While at the colored school he learned that he was a lower race that should be thankful that the government has let him live. When he questioned the teacher about the history of America and how all people should be treated equal, she slapped him with a ruler and demanded to know who told him that. Marvin responded with his grandfather. The teacher left the room for a couple minutes. When she returned she explained that Marvin was mistaken and that his grandfather had Alzheimers and was hallucinating and that he should not listen to the stories anymore. When he returned that night he found out that the SS had arrested his Grandfather for Treason and was shot in the street as an example. This first event sparked a fire in Marvin, a fire of Freedom.

Shortly after this incident, his family moved from his birthplace of Biloxi, Mississippi to a GPF rag town just outside Fairmont, West Virginia where his Dad and older brothers worked for Jamison Coal and Coke Co. in mine #7. Known for several collapses and deaths, it was the most dreaded of all mines to work. With all of the accidents happening they always needed more help. When Marvin graduated from Colored school, he immediately went to work in the mines first hauling coal cars out the mine and graduating as a pick man in the lower mine.

While down in the mine he would here rumors about a secret organization that believed in equal rights and that the government could be overthrown if enough people joined. The name of the Organization was Cobra. When he inquired about the organization and how to join, no-one knew. When he returned to his communal tent, he found his family murdered with a swastika knife in each body. A warning about not to speak about the Cobra. He knew someone ratted him out.

He just started to run and run until he came across an old gas station with three rednecks working there. He knew this was trouble, or was it?

A blond haired grungy looking man with a pony tail yelled at him. "Hey, what are you doing so far away from the mine?" Marvin did not know what to say or do so he just stood there. "The bloke does not know if he is coming or going, Buzzer" said the other. "Its ok, your with friends, come on in, and don't let Torch bother you." Marvin goes inside and meets with Zartan. He feels safe with him and explains his life story and about how he would love to join Cobra and fight the Nazi overlords. Zartan gives him his wish.

After years of mining, Marvin was just one big giant muscle, a big Roadblock to the Nazi rule, able to carry anything and perfect for Manhandling any weapon, especially the large caliber type. Cobra Commander noticed his talents and his fire to destroy the Nazi Masters and to free the world, So he renamed Marvin to Roadblock and assigned him as commander of a squad of freedom-fighters where he serves now, enjoying mowing down the Nazi's left and right.
