Wendy Harris, Marvin White and Wonder Dog are fictional characters
from the 1973 American animated TV series Super Friends, based on the
famous superheroes published by DC Comics. The series featured a
lineup of DC's most popular characters, including Superman, Batman and
Wonder Woman, but Hanna-Barbera, the show's producers, wanted to
include young sidekick characters that the children in the audience
could identify with. This led to the creation of Wendy, Marvin and
their hero pet Wonder Dog, who appeared alongside their more famous
friends. Because of the success of the Super Friends cartoon, a Super
Friends comic book was also created, in which the trio made their
first comics appearance.Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog didn't have
superpowers, so often they didn't add much to the story progression,
and they were dropped after the show's first season. Wendy and Marvin
were replaced in the 1977 series The All-New Super Friends Hour with
the Wonder Twins -- extraterrestrial twins with the power to transform
into animals and water. Wonder Dog's comedy relief role was filled by
the Wonder Twins' pet monkey, Gleek.Wendy's voice was played by Sherry
Alberoni, and Marvin and Wonder Dog were voiced by Frank Welker.The
duo has been reintroduced in the Teen Titans comic book as the
caretakers of Titans Tower, as twins Wendy and Marvin Harris. Wendy
eventually became the protege of Barbara Gordon, while the latter was
operating as Oracle, and adopted the codename Proxy. Stories published
in this era also revealed that the twins were the children of the DC
Comics supervillain Calculator.
