Professor Marvel is a character from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, which is based on the book by L. Frank Baum. He is also known as the Wizard of Oz, or Oz the Great and Terrible, or the Great and Powerful Oz. He is played by Frank Morgan, who also portrays four other roles in the film: the Gatekeeper, the Carriage Driver, the Guard, and the Wizard of Oz1 Professor Marvel is a traveling conman who uses a crystal ball and other tricks to deceive people. He meets Dorothy Gale when she runs away from home, and pretends to read her fortune. He tells her that her Aunt Em is sick and worried about her, and convinces her to go back. He also gives her his lucky charm, a medal that says “For Courage”1 Later, when Dorothy arrives in the Land of Oz, she learns that the Wizard of Oz can help her return to Kansas. However, when she finally meets him, he appears as a giant head, a beautiful fairy, a horrible monster, and a ball of fire. He also speaks in a loud and frightening voice. He agrees to help Dorothy and her friends, but only if they bring him the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West1 Eventually, it is revealed that the Wizard of Oz is actually Professor Marvel, who came to Oz in a hot air balloon and became its ruler by using his magic tricks and props. He admits that he is not a real wizard, but he still tries to help Dorothy and her friends by giving them symbolic gifts: a diploma for the Scarecrow, a medal for the Lion, a heart-shaped clock for the Tin Man, and a ride in his balloon for Dorothy. However, his plan goes wrong when his balloon flies away without Dorothy. He then appoints the Scarecrow as his successor and leaves Oz for good1 Professor Marvel is an interesting and complex character who represents both deception and benevolence. He is also one of the few characters who appear in both Kansas and Oz, suggesting a connection between reality and fantasy.
